Controllable formation and TEM spatial visualization of cross-linked gold nanoparticle spherical aggregates.

چکیده
Gold nanoparticles (NPs) were assembled and cross-linked into spherical aggregates by colloidal emulsion evaporation and ligand exchanging. The optical absorption, conventional transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and bright field (BF) TEM tomography confirm that the cross-linking of the pre-condensed aggregates generates high stability and compactness.

Gold nanoparticle-assembled capsules and their application as hydrogen peroxide biosensor based on hemoglobin.
Gold nanoparticle-assembled capsules (GNACs) with controllable size and tunable morphology were fabricated through a simple two-step mixing procedure. Cationic polyelectrolyte was first induced to self-assemble into spherical aggregates in the presence of multivalent anions. Then, the aggregates served as an effective template for the self-assembly of gold nanoparticles to form size-controllabl...
متن کاملInteraction of gold nanoparticles with thermoresponsive microgels: influence of the cross-linker density on optical properties.
The interaction of spherical gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) with microgels composed of chemically cross-linked poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) is reported. Simple mixing of the two components leads to adsorption of the gold particles onto the microgels. Different loading densities can be achieved by varying the ratio of gold particles to microgel particles. The adsorption of gold nanoparticles is ana...
متن کاملPreparation, structural, and optical features of two-dimensional cross-linked DNA/gold-nanoparticle conjugates
The formation and the optical features of two-dimensional aggregates formed by DNA-directed immobilization and cross-linking of bifunctional DNA-gold nanoparticles at flat gold substrates are analyzed. The samples are structurally characterized by atomic force microscopy to evaluate the particle size, the particle densities, and the degree of aggregation. The optical characteristics determined ...
متن کاملFolate-Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles (Synthesis, Characterization and Design for Cancer Cells Nanotechnology-based Targeting)
A new folate-conjugated gold nanoparticle (AuNP) has been designed to selectively target the folate receptor that is overexpressed on the surface of tumoral cells. For this purpose, we made 4-aminothiophenol, as a bifunctional linker to react with HAuCl4 in the presence of sodium borohydride and it was binded to the AuNP surface through its thiol group. Then, we conjugated amino-terminated nano...
متن کاملMediator-template assembly of nanoparticles.
The ability to construct size- and shape-controllable architectures using nanoparticles as building blocks is essential for the exploration of nanoparticle-structured properties. This paper reports findings of an investigation of a mediator-template strategy for the size-controllable assembly of nanoparticles. This strategy explores multidentate thioether ligands as molecular mediators and tetr...
