Thermoresponsive nanoparticles + plasmonic nanoparticles = photoresponsive heterodimers: facile synthesis and sunlight-induced reversible clustering.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with thermoresponsive polymers become photoresponsive when attached to plasmonic nanoparticles to form heterodimers. Under solar illumination, the plasmonic particles absorb sunlight and induce localized heating, causing collapse of the thermoresponsive polymer chain and clustering of the dimers that facilitate magnetic separation.

متن کاملPhotoresponsive Polymeric Reversible Nanoparticles via Self-Assembly of Reactive ABA Triblock Copolymers and Their Transformation to Permanent Nanostructures
Azobenzene-functionalized ABA triblock copolymers with controlled molecular weights are prepared first via a sequential ring-opening metathesis polymerization and acyclic diene metathesis polymerization in one-pot, which are readily converted, by a facile esterification, to the modified ABA triblock copolymers. Then, these reactive triblock copolymers can spontaneously self-assemble in a select...

متن کاملPlasmonic nanoparticle heterodimers in a semiembedded geometry fabricated by stepwise upright assembly.
We report the experimental realization of plasmonic heterodimers, pairs of directly adjacent, interacting metallic nanoparticles. A novel fabrication and positioning approach is utilized for the stepwise assembly of upright nanoparticle pairs, where the first nanoparticle is almost entirely embedded in an elastomeric dielectric medium prior to attachment of the second nanoparticle. The plasmon ...
متن کاملFacile Synthesis and Potential Bioimaging Applications of Hybrid Upconverting and Plasmonic NaGdF4: Yb3+, Er3+/Silica/Gold Nanoparticles
We present a simple method for preparing water dispersible NaGdF4: Yb3+, Er3+/silica/gold nanoparticles. The emission intensity and color of the upconverting cores are modulated by the plasmonic absorbance and field enhancement from the gold nanoparticles. The applicability of hybrid NPs for multi-modal bioimaging probes is illustrated by in vitro confocal microscopy of living cancer cells.
