Shape auxiliary approach for carboxylate-functionalized gold nanocrystals.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A shape auxiliary approach for the synthesis of shape-controlled gold nanocrystals with functional moieties is established; carboxylate-functionalized gold polyhedra were successfully synthesized in a one-pot reaction in the presence of poly(dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate), which contains the dimethylaminoethyl group as a shape auxiliary.

Paclitaxel-functionalized gold nanoparticles.
Here we describe the first example of 2 nm gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) covalently functionalized with a chemotherapeutic drug, paclitaxel. The synthetic strategy involves the attachment of a flexible hexaethylene glycol linker at the C-7 position of paclitaxel followed by coupling of the resulting linear analogue to phenol-terminated gold nanocrystals. The reaction proceeds under mild esterific...
متن کاملDirect coprecipitation route to monodisperse dual-functionalized magnetic iron oxide nanocrystals without size selection.
Water-soluble monodisperse superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanocrystals decorated with two distinct functional groups are prepared in a single-step procedure by injecting iron precursors into a refluxing aqueous solution of a polymer ligand, trithiol-terminated poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA-PTTM), bearing both carboxylate and thiol functionalities. The ratio of carboxylic acid groups in the polymer-prot...
متن کاملFunctionalized Gold Nanoparticles as Damage-specific X-ray Computed Tomography Contrast Agents in Bone Tissue
By Ryan D. Ross The accumulation of microdamage has been linked to clinical bone fragility and increased fracture susceptibility. Damage is normally repaired by a cellular remodeling process. However, a fracture may occur if damage accumulates faster than it can be repaired. Current methods for imaging microdamage are inherently invasive, destructive and two-dimensional. The development of a ta...
متن کاملCoordination power adjustment of surface-regulating polymers for shaping gold polyhedral nanocrystals.
PVP (poly(vinyl pyrrolidone)) is a common polymer that behaves as a surface-regulating agent that shapes metal nanocrystals in the polyol process. We have used different polymers containing tertiary amide groups, namely PVCL (poly(vinyl caprolactam)) and PDMAm (poly(N,N-dimethyl acrylamide)), for the synthesis of gold polyhedrons, including octahedrons, cuboctahedrons, cubes, and higher polygon...
متن کاملBinding affinity of surface functionalized gold nanoparticles to hydroxyapatite.
Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been investigated for a number of biomedical applications, including drug and gene delivery vehicles, thermal ablation therapy, diagnostic sensors, and imaging contrast agents. Surface functionalization with molecular groups exhibiting calcium affinity can enable targeted delivery of Au NPs to calcified tissue, including damaged bone tissue. Therefore, the objec...
