Abstract The structure of hair was replicated via a solgel process using human hair as a template. When using silicate and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the precursor, the cell structure of the hair cuticle was not well replicated. When using Ti(OnBu)4 as the precursor, however, titania microtubes were obtained, with nanopores in their walls and nanoporous platelets on their outer surfaces, which were derived from cuticle cells on the hair surfaces. The nanopores in the microtubes acted as an effective nanoreactor for in situ synthesis of Au nanoparticles. The microchannels, nanopores and noble metal nanoparticles may provide a unique combination that would be attractive in applications such as catalysis, adsorption, and separation.
Keywords titania - sol-gel method - gold nanoparticles - in situ synthesis

NOTE from Celia: ( >: First time I've found anything from the 'Scientific Community' --from CHINA too--admitting anything at all about creating any kind of crud that would lead to this Pandoras Box of of Syndromes we have going on that have anything to do with messing around with our flippin HAIR! Still doesn't really say that much, but I'm gonna keep digging!

Wow...look what all you have to choose from when you just look up Gold Nanoparticles! And this is just one page from one browser!
