Glucose induced in-situ reduction of chloroaurate ions entrapped in a fatty amine film: formation of gold nanoparticle–lipid composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The formation of gold nanoparticle–lipid composite films by glucose-induced reduction of chloroaurate ions entrapped in thermally evaporated fatty amine films is described. Simple immersion of films of the salt of octadecylamine and chloroaurate ions (formed by immersion of thermally evaporated fatty amine films in chloroauric acid solution) in glucose solution leads to the facile in-situ reduction of the metal ions to form gold nanoparticles in the fatty amine matrix. The formation of gold nanoparticles is readily detected by the appearance of a violet color in the film and thus forms the basis of a possible new, gold nanoparticle-based colorimetric sensor for glucose. The formation of the fatty amine salt of chloroauric acid and the subsequent reduction of the metal ions by glucose has been followed by quartz crystal microgravimetry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy measurements.

Bioreduction of chloroaurate ions by geranium leaves and its endophytic fungus yields gold nanoparticles of different shapes
Development of biologically inspired experimental processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles is an important branch of nanotechnology. In this paper, we report on the use of geranium leaves (Pelargonium graveolens) and its endophytic fungus in the extra-cellular synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Sterilized geranium leaves and an endophytic fungus (Colletotrichum sp.) growing in the leaves were...

In this paper we show that hyperbranched polymers can be used as a host matrix for electrostatic entrapment of enzymes. Specifically, amine-functionalized glucose oxidase (GOx+) and horseradish peroxidase, as well as poly(amidoamine) dendrimer-modified horseradish peroxidase, reversibly sorb into polyanionic, hyperbranched poly(sodium acrylate) (PAA-) films that are on the order of a few hundre...
متن کاملLayer-by-layer assembly of graphene and gold nanoparticles by vacuum filtration and spontaneous reduction of gold ions.
Layer-by-layer films comprised of alternating graphene and gold nanoparticle layers are readily produced by the two-step procedure involving the use of vacuum filtration of a reduced graphene oxide solution to fabricate the graphene thin film on the quartz substrate, followed by gold nanoparticle formation by spontaneous reduction of gold ions in a gold salt solution on the graphene films.
متن کاملSynthesis of ZrO2 nanoparticle by combination of sol-gel auto-combustion method- irradiation technique, and preparation of Al-ZrO2 metal matrix composites
Nanocrystalline ZrO2 with particle size of about 38 nm was directly synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. The overall process involved three steps: formation of homogeneous sol at 50-55°C; formation of dried gel at 110°C, and combustion of the dried gel at 400°C. Experiments revealed that ZrO2 dried gel derived from glycine (Fuel) and nitrate sol exhibited self pr...
