Light-induced flocculation of gold nanoparticles.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold particles have been formed in water-in-oil microemulsions doped with a photodestructible surfactant. UV light-induced nanoparticle flocculation has been achieved after photolysis of the photosurfactant, leading to a reduction in the steric stabilization provided by the surfactant layer.

Application of near-infrared light intensity to determine normal and cancerous breast vessel contrast by gold nanoparticles
Objective(s): A novel technique for the early diagnosis of breast cancer involves the use of nanoparticles (NPs). The present study aimed to use gold NPs to assess the variations in light source transfer intensity. Materials and Methods: Blood samples with hemoglobin (Hb) concentrations of ×1, ×2, and ×4 were used to simulate normal and cancerous conditions in the breast. Spherical gold N...
متن کاملExtraction and Dispersion of Large Gold Nanoparticles in Nonpolar Solvents
Gold nanoparticles up to 70 nm in diameter could be extracted from aqueous solutions into nonpolar organic solvents by tetrathiolated resorcinarenes 1 and 2. The resorcinarene-coated nanoparticles formed stable dispersions in toluene and chloroform and could be passed through a crosslinked polystyrene column without significant degradation, but exhibited variable resistance to alkanethiol-induc...

Sedimentation properties of the TiO2 nanoparticles with very high specific surface area (about 180m /g) based on the BET method have been investigated in various organic solvents. The TiO2 nanocolloid in the isopropyl alcohol displayed a considerably high electrostatic repulsive force, compared to that in other solvents, with negligible coalescence between the particles. Both the backscattered ...

متن کاملEffect of Peptide Derived from Scorpion Toxin on Enhanced Permeability of Doxorubicin Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles in HeLa and MDA-MB-231 Cells
Background: Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) can enter a cell through the cell membrane, and used in the fields of drug delivery, gene therapy, and cancer therapy by their property transporting various molecules into cytoplasm. Gold nanospheres (GNSs) are a useful tool for molecular imaging, because they are not cytotoxic and have high solubility, excellent light scattering property and ease of...
