Controlling the cellular uptake of gold nanorods.
Gold nanorods coated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), a cationic micellar surfactant used in nanorod synthesis, were rapidly and irreversibly internalized by KB cells via a nonspecific uptake mechanism. Internalized nanorods near the cell surface were monitored by two-photon luminescence (TPL) microscopy and observed to migrate toward the nucleus with a quadratic rate of diffusion. T...
متن کاملShape-tailoring and catalytic function of anisotropic gold nanostructures
We report a facile, one-pot, shape-selective synthesis of gold nanoparticles in high yield by the reaction of an aqueous potassium tetrachloroaurate(III) solution with a commercially available detergent. We prove that a commercial detergent can act as a reducing as well as stabilizing agent for the synthesis of differently shaped gold nanoparticles in an aqueous solution at an ambient condition...
متن کاملShape Selective Pillared Clay Catalysts for P-Xylene Production
Shape selective xylene production is very important in the polymer industry because of its extensive use as raw material for monomer preparation. The acidity associated with the Lewis and Broensted centers present in the pillars interlayered clay and its textural properties allows good catalytic activity and shape selectivity toward p-xylene production. So, in the present study, ultrasonic and ...
متن کاملA Versatile Route to Controlling Gold Nanostructures and Their Applications on Biosensing, Cytotoxicity, and Cellular Uptake Studies
Noble metal nanoparticles, especially of gold and silver, have attracted substantial interest recently because of their unique size-dependent properties.[1] The various applications of noble metal nanoparticles follow from their unique structural properties at nanometer dimensions. These properties can be tailored for potential applications by properly controlling the size and shape of the nano...
متن کاملEnhanced cellular uptake of amphiphilic gold nanoparticles with ester functionality.
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated with ester-headed or ether-headed PEG ligands were synthesized. Ester-headed AuNPs, but not ether-headed, were transferred from the organic phase (CH2Cl2) to the alkali aqueous phase, indicating that the hydrolysis of the ester moiety triggered the phase transfer of the AuNPs. We found that AuNPs with ester-headed ligands (ester-AuNPs) were internalized into He...
