We explored a very interesting gold nanoparticle system-pegylated gold in colloidal solution-and analyzed its uptake by mice colorectal adenocarcinoma CT26 tumor cells and the impact on the cell's response to x-ray irradiation. We found that exposure to po ...
We here present an evaluation of the carrier performance of nanoparticles that are biofunctional, i.e. derivatized to provide a controlled biological activity, and environmentally responsive, since they respond to the presence of oxidants. In particular, w ...
Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles (8, 11, and 13 nm in iameter) as confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy were prepared via the reverse microemulsion method and deposited on structured supports consisting of carbon nanofibers (CNF) grow ...
We present three different prepn. methods for CdSe colloidal nanoparticles that, when carried out into the Ostwald ripening regime, lead to the development of complex spectral patterns resulting from the overlap of several distinct components corresponding ...
It is well known that the electrostatic repulsions between charges on neighboring sites decrease the effective charge at the surface of a charged nanoparticle (NP). However, the situation is more complex close to a dielec. discontinuity, since charged site ...
The solubility of alkylthiol-coated silver nanoparticles and the energetics of the ligand disordering have been investigated. Calorimetry measurements have provided correlations between the nature of the ligands and the enthalpy of the ligand disordering, ...
Sixty-three iron-containing particles from five field campaigns (PELTI, ACE-Asia, MILAGRO (urban location and aloft on NCAR C-130), INTEX-B) were characterized with scanning transmission X-ray microscopy and near-edge X-Ray absorption fine structure L-edge ...
The formation of complexes between nanoparticles and polyelectrolytes is a key process for the control of the reactivity of manufd. nanoparticles and rational design of core shell nanostructures. In this work, we investigate the influence of the nanopartic ...
Substrates with 1-dimensional nanosize grooves were prepared using extreme-ultraviolet interference lithography (EUV-IL), wherein gold nanoparticles were self-assembled to form 1-dimensional structures. To measure the electrical properties of gold nanopart ...
The polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified gold nanoparticle complex was synthesized by a one-solution synchrotron x-ray irradiation method. The impact on the structure and morphology of the gold nanoparticles of process parameters such as the PEG molecular we ...
