The effect of CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide)- or PEG (polyethylene glycol)-coated gold-nanorods (Au-NRs) on the non-IgE mediated allergic response was studied. We found that the CTAB-Au-NRs released more allergic mediators such as histamine and β-hexosaminidase from human basophil KU812, a common model for studying allergy, after 20 min incubation. Also, the CTAB-Au-NRs induced more apop...

A biosensor based on glucose oxidase (GOx) immobilized onto nanoparticles zirconium oxide with polyethylene nanocomposite for glucose monitoring has been designed. The CTAB/PEG/ZrO2/GOx nanocomposite was deposited onto screen printed carbon paste (SPCE) electrode via spin coating technique. The properties of CTAB/PEG/ZrO2/GOx were study using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SPE modified...

Here, five different capping agents’ polyethylene glycol (PEG), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and oleylamine (OAm) are used to form copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs), along with their electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER) properties. The produced Cu-NPs’ mono-dispersity interactions PEG, CTAB, PVA, PVP, OAm were examined. mean...

Gold nanorods (GNRs) stabilized with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and GNR functionalized via a ligand exchange method with either thiolated polyethylene glycol (PEG(5000)) or mercaptohexadecanoic acid (MHDA) were investigated for their stability in biological media and subsequent toxicological effects to HaCaT cells. GNR-PEG and GNR-MHDA exhibited minimal effects on cell proliferation,...

The uncertainties in ZnO-mediated toxicity and particle stability a biological system remain challenge mitigate against deployment as next-generation nanoparticles (NPs), especially biomedical applications. With that perspective, the present study investigates surface chemical properties of ZnO NPs coated with three different surfactant biomolecules, namely polyethylene glycol (PEG), cetyltrime...

The coverage density of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) is a key parameter in determining the efficiency of PEGylation, a process pivotal to in vivo delivery and targeting of nanomaterials. Here we report four complementary methods for quantifying the coverage density of PEG chains on various types of Au nanostructures by using a model system based on HS-PEG-NH(2) with different molecular weights. ...

In this work, we investigated the cytotoxicity, colloidal stability and optical property of gold nanorods before and after functionalizing them with thiolated PEG and Pluronic triblock copolymer (PEO-PPO-PEO) molecules. The morphology of functionalized gold nanorods was characterized by UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering. Solution ...

Singlet Oxygen Sensor Green (SOSG) is the most widely used fluorescent probe for detecting singlet oxygen (1O2). 1O2 can be efficiently produced by exciting surface plasmon of gold nanoparticles with laser pulses. However, are usually embedded in a chemical stabilizer that interact SOSG, leading to erroneous detection 1O2. This article shows emission properties SOSG strongly depend on concentra...
