Synthesis of Highly Monodisperse Citrate-Stabilized Silver Nanoparticles of up to 200 nm: Kinetic Control and Catalytic Properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors showed that the use of tannic acid is fundamental in the synthesis of silver seeds, with an unprecedented (nanometric resolution) narrow size distribution that becomes even narrower, by size focusing, during the growth process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Size-Controlled Synthesis of Sub-10-nanometer Citrate-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles and Related Optical Properties.

TL;DR: In this article, a kinetically controlled seeded-growth strategy was used to synthesize high monodisperse, biocompatible and functionalizable sub-10-nm citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (Au NPs).
Journal ArticleDOI

Size-Dependent Protein-Nanoparticle Interactions in Citrate-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles: The Emergence of the Protein Corona.

TL;DR: Surface modifications of highly monodisperse citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles studied and characterized by the combined use of UV-vis spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, and zeta potential measurements, revealing the significant role that size plays in the kinetics of this process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Formation of the Protein Corona: The Interface between Nanoparticles and the Immune System.

TL;DR: The formation of this Protein Corona depends not only on the composition of the nanoparticle, its size, shape, surface state and exposure time, but also on the type of media, nanoparticle to protein ratio and the presence of ion species that interfere in the interaction between proteins and nanoparticles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying the sensitivity of multipolar (dipolar, quadrupolar, and octapolar) surface plasmon resonances in silver nanoparticles: the effect of size, composition, and surface coating

TL;DR: Modifications of the NP's surface chemistry revealed the higher sensitivity of large sizes, long molecules, thiol groups, and low-order resonance modes of silver, extending this study to gold nanoparticles and aiming to compare the sensitivity of both materials.
