Coating Materials Containing Gold Nanoparticles

Multidentate thioether ligands coating gold nanoparticles.

The design and synthesis of oligomeric ligands based on benzylic thioethers is presented together with their ability to enwrap and stabilize gold nanoparticles with diameters below 2 nm, which become--with increasing length of the oligomer--more monodisperse and stable.

On the Use of the Electrospinning Coating Technique to Produce Antimicrobial Polyhydroxyalkanoate Materials Containing In Situ-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles

Electro-hydrodynamic processing, comprising electrospraying and electrospinning techniques, has emerged as a versatile technology to produce nanostructured fiber-based and particle-based materials. In this work, an antimicrobial active multilayer system comprising a commercial polyhydroxyalkanoate substrate (PHA) and an electrospun PHA coating containing in situ-stabilized silver nanoparticles ...

Phosphinine stabilised gold nanoparticles; synthesis and immobilisation on mesoporous materials.

The first synthesis of gold nanoparticles stabilised by a sub-stoichiometric amount of sp(2) phosphorus containing ligands was performed, as well as their immobilisation on mesostructured silica and titania hosts.

Polymer-functionalized gold nanoparticles as versatile sensing materials.

In this brief review, gold nanoparticles conjugated with functional polymers are described from the viewpoint of application to sensing materials. The optical properties of gold nanoparticles, the synthesis of polymer-functionalized gold nanoparticles, and their analytical applications are discussed. Polymer-functionalized gold nanoparticles are categorized into two classes: biopolymer-conjugat...
