Hierarchical multifunctional graphene oxide cancer nanotheranostics agent for synchronous switchable fluorescence imaging and chemical therapy

TL;DR: A nanotheranostics platform was synthesized based on PEGylated graphene oxide–gold nanoparticles and specified with aptamer toward the MUC-1-positive tumor cells and loaded with doxorubicin, used for non-invasive fluorescence imaging and therapy of breast and colon tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Citrate-capped gold nanoparticles as a sensing probe for determination of cetyltrimethylammonium surfactant using FTIR spectroscopy and colorimetry

TL;DR: A novel, facile, and low-cost method was developed for determination of cetyltrimethylammonium (CTA+) cationic surfactant in water samples using diffuse reflectance Fourier transform IR (FTIR) spectroscopy and colorimetry.
Journal ArticleDOI

Colorimetric detection of normetanephrine, a pheochromocytoma biomarker, using bifunctionalised gold nanoparticles.

TL;DR: The colorimetric probe was highly selective towards normetanephrine and no color changes were observed in the presence of other neurotransmitter metabolites such as homovanillic acid (HVA) (dopamine metabolite), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) (serotonin metabolite) or other biomolecules present in urine such as glucose, uric acid, and urea.

Humidity-Dependent Reversible Transitions in Gold Nanoparticle Superlattices

TL;DR: In this article, the changes in interparticle spacing upon hydration and dehydration of drop-cast films of hydrophilic gold nanoparticles (GNP) have been measured in situ with nanometer resolution using WetSTEM and ESEM.
Journal ArticleDOI

On-water synthesis of phenols using biogenic Cu2O nanoparticles without using H2O2

TL;DR: In this article, the average size of the nanoparticles is 7.6 µm and they have excellent catalytic activity in the ipso-hydroxylation of arylboronic acids without using H2O2.

Ordered mesoporous molecular sieves synthesized by a liquid-crystal template mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis of mesoporous inorganic solids from calcination of aluminosilicate gels in the presence of surfactants is described, in which the silicate material forms inorganic walls between ordered surfactant micelles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gold nanoparticles: assembly, supramolecular chemistry, quantum-size-related properties, and applications toward biology, catalysis, and nanotechnology.

TL;DR: A review of gold nanoparticles can be found in this article, where the most stable metal nanoparticles, called gold colloids (AuNPs), have been used for catalysis and biology applications.

Controlled nucleation for the regulation of the particle size in monodisperse gold suspensions

G. Frens
- 01 Jan 1973 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a series of monodisperse suspensions of the same chemical composition but of rather different particle sizes was used to study particle size dependent phenomena, such as Brownian motion, light scattering, sedimentation and electrophoresis of small particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemistry and properties of nanocrystals of different shapes.

TL;DR: The interest in nanoscale materials stems from the fact that new properties are acquired at this length scale and, equally important, that these properties are equally important.
