Supramolecular assembly of pentamidine and polymeric cyclodextrin bimetallic core–shell nanoarchitectures
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2022, 13, 1361–1369, doi:10.3762/bjnano.13.112
- obtained by the “seeded growth method” which consists in the sequential reduction of gold and silver ions. The co-reduction of the two metal ions (i.e., Ag+ and Au3+) produces an alloy instead [13]. In our ongoing research program aimed to the discovery of new antimicrobials, we recently explored the
Porous silver-coated pNIPAM-co-AAc hydrogel nanocapsules
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2019, 10, 1973–1982, doi:10.3762/bjnano.10.194
- , such as formaldehyde, following a seeded-growth method [77]. Figure 4a and Figure 4c confirm that the particles are well-dispersed after nanocapsule growth with no aggregation, and the diameters of 929 ± 42 nm and 920 ± 58 nm were determined for the porous and smooth Ag nanocapsules, respectively
- -growth method and surfactant-free emulsion polymerization, we demonstrated a reliable synthesis of silver nanocapsules encapsulating thermo-responsive pNIPAM-co-AAc hydrogel cores. The 800 nm silver nanocapsules with a capsule thickness of ≈50 nm were characterized by SEM, TEM, and UV–vis spectroscopy
- resonances is perhaps the most dominant factor due to the large size of the nanocapsules. Thus, the UV–vis measurements along with the SEM and TEM images definitively illustrate the successful preparation of silver nanocapsules with both porous and complete silver shells. Conclusions By utilizing a seeded
Facile phase transfer of gold nanorods and nanospheres stabilized with block copolymers
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2018, 9, 616–627, doi:10.3762/bjnano.9.58
- the use of strong thiol and amine surfactants. Keywords: Au nanorods; block copolymers; optical absorbance spectroscopy; phase transfer; seeded growth method; Introduction The size effects that determine the functional characteristics of nanoparticles are no less important than their precise
- available, with the seeded growth method being the most popular in terms of size and shape control [13]. Its current version [14][15][16] allows one to obtain Au nanorods with a high yield and desired aspect ratio ranging from 1.5 to 5. The water-soluble nanoparticles synthesized in this way require
- various organic solvents. The same copolymer can be further subjected to microphase separation so that no third component compatibilizer in the hybrid composite material is needed. Results and Discussion Au nanorod synthesis and phase transfer We synthesized Au nanorods by the seeded growth method [14][15
Mechanical properties of MDCK II cells exposed to gold nanorods
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2015, 6, 223–231, doi:10.3762/bjnano.6.21
- after reaching confluence by washing with PBS, followed by trypsinization and centrifugation at 110g. Particle synthesis and characterization Gold nanorods and nanospheres were prepared as described previously following the seeded growth method [25]. First, seeds were prepared by adding 0.6 mL of ice
Mammalian cell growth on gold nanoparticle-decorated substrates is influenced by the nanoparticle coating
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 2479–2488, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.257
- (>18 MΩ, Milli-Q) was used in all experiments. Suppliers of chemicals are given in the Supporting Information File 1. Particle synthesis Gold nanorods were synthesized according to the seeded growth method published by Nikoobakht [34] as presented in [20]. In a first step, the seeds were prepared by
