Thermoresponsive poly(N-vinyl caprolactam)-coated gold nanoparticles: sharp reversible response and easy tunability.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Narrowly distributed poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) obtained by the MADIX/RAFT process was used for the preparation of novel thermoresponsive gold nanoparticles presenting a sharp reversible response to temperature, which can be easily modulated near the physiological temperature by simply changing the polymer molecular weight or concentration.

The Importance of Excess Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) for the Aggregation of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-Coated Gold Nanoparticles.
Thermoresponsive materials are generating significant interest on account of the sharp and tunable temperature deswelling transition of the polymer chain. Such materials have shown promise in drug delivery devices, sensing systems, and self-assembly. Incorporation of nanoparticles (NPs), typically through covalent attachment of the polymer chains to the NP surface, can add additional functional...
متن کاملSalt effect on the heat-induced association behavior of gold nanoparticles coated with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) prepared via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization.
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) with a narrow molecular weight distribution was prepared by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) radical polymerization. A dithioester group at the chain end of PNIPAM thus prepared was cleaved by treating with 2-ethanolamine to provide thiol-terminated PNIPAM with which gold nanoparticles were coated via reactions of the terminal thiol wi...
متن کاملStimuli Responsive Poly(Vinyl Caprolactam) Gels for Biomedical Applications
Poly(vinyl caprolactam) (PNVCL) is one of the most important thermoresponsive polymers because it is similar to poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide). PNVCL precipitates from aqueous solutions in a physiological temperature range (32–34 ̋C). The use of PNVCL instead of PNIPAM is considered advantageous because of the assumed lower toxicity of PNVCL. PNVCL copolymer gels are sensitive to external stimuli...

We extend the commonly used synthesis strategies for responsive microgels to the design of novel multiresponsive and multifunctional nanoparticles that combine inorganic magnetic, metallic/catalytic and thermoresponsive organic moieties. Magnetic responsiveness is implemented through the integration of silica-coated maghemite nanoparticles into fluorescently labeled crosslinked poly(N-isopropyl...
متن کاملReversible gating of smart plasmonic molecular traps using thermoresponsive polymers for single-molecule detection
Single-molecule surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has attracted increasing interest for chemical and biochemical sensing. Many conventional substrates have a broad distribution of SERS enhancements, which compromise reproducibility and result in slow response times for single-molecule detection. Here we report a smart plasmonic sensor that can reversibly trap a single molecule at hotsp...
