Gold nanoparticles decorated with oligo(ethylene glycol) thiols: protein resistance and colloidal stability.
The interactions between proteins and gold colloids functionalized with protein-resistant oligo(ethylene glycol) (OEG) thiol, HS(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)6OMe (EG6OMe), in aqueous solution have been studied by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and UV-vis spectroscopy. The mean size, 2R, and the size distribution of the decorated gold colloids have been characterized by SAXS. The monolayer-protected gol...
متن کاملStability of Trinitroglycerin in Polyethylene Glycol 400
In this study, the stability of trinitroglycerin (TNG) in polyethylene (PEG) 400 was investigated according to Arrhenius approach. The reaction rate constant (k) for the thermal disintegration of TNG in PEG 400 at various temperatures was counted based on the percents of remaining TNG at different intervals of time at a specific temperature. The results showed that “k” at 40, 50, 60, 70, 8...
متن کاملColloidal stability of zwitterionic polymer-grafted gold nanoparticles in water.
We investigate the colloidal stability of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) coated with zwitterionic sulfobetaine polymers in aqueous solution. Zwitterionic polymers with different molar masses, synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of N,N'-dimethyl(methacrylamido propyl)ammonium propanesulfonate (SPP) exhibit a well known Upper Critical Solution Tempera...
متن کاملPrecipitation of DNA by polyethylene glycol and ethanol.
The use of polyethylene glycol (PEG) for precipitation of DNA has been described in the literature (1-6) . We present here conditions for precipitation of DNA by PEG that give improved recoveries of DNA so that precipitation by PEG is comparable to that by ethanol, in terms of recovery, over a wide range of DNA concentrations. The problem of precipitation of lowmolecular-weight DNA fragments by...
متن کاملEntrapped chemically synthesized gold nanoparticles combined with polyethylene glycol and chloroquine diphosphate as an improved antimalarial drug
Objective(s): Drug delivery is an engineering technology to control the release and delivery of therapeutic agents to target organs, tissues, and cells. Metallic nanoparticles, such as gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have exceptional properties which enable efficient drug transport into different cell types with reduced side effects and cytotoxicity to other tissues.Materials and Methods: AuNPs were...
