Hydrophilic gold nanorods for biotechnological applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) are successfully employed in drug delivery, biosensors, and biotechnologies. Their wide success is due to their unique chemical properties, biocompatibility, easy, cheap versatile synthesis. In this framework, AuNRs were synthetized with the aim obtain strongly hydrophilic nanomaterials, suitable as delivery system. by seed mediated methods two steps. After careful purification investigated means of UV-Vis-NIR showing typical surface plasmon resonance (SPR) bands at 550 nm 970 nm. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) High-resolution X-ray photoelectron (HR-XPS) investigations verified functionalization ascorbic acid (AA) cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) allowed examine structure interaction between capping agent metal surface. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations showed regular shape size range 20-80 These results point promising systems for applications.

Rapid purification of gold nanorods for biomedical applications
Small gold nanorods (GNRs) with longitudinal plasmon absorption in the near-infrared window (700-900 nm), are of great interest for in vivo optical applications (e.g., photothermal therapy) and for their high-payload-to-carrier ratio for drug delivery. Common synthetic strategies for GNR production afford spherical and cubical nanoparticles in addition to the desired GNRS. Thus, several methods...
متن کاملGd(III) functionalized gold nanorods for multimodal imaging applications.
We demonstrate a novel noncovalent method for producing Gd(III)-functionalized gold nanorods as multimodal contrast agents for MRI and CT imaging. The ligand is connected to the surface of the gold nanorods by a noncovalent bond making the Gd(III) ions directly accessible to water molecules, and resulting in a longitudinal relaxivity as high as 21.3 mM(-1) s(-1). In addition, compared with sphe...

متن کاملApplications of gold nanoparticles for medical imaging
Background & Aim: Molecular imaging enables us to non-invasively visualize tissue microstructures and lesion characterization, allowing accurate diagnosis of diseases at early stages. A successful molecular imaging requires a nontoxic contrast agent with high sensitivity. Nowadays, a wide range of nanoparticles have been developed as contrast agents for medical imaging modalities. Here, we revi...
متن کاملCitrate-Stabilized Gold Nanorods
Stable aqueous dispersions of citrate-stabilized gold nanorods (cit-GNRs) have been prepared in scalable fashion by surfactant exchange from cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-stabilized GNRs, using polystyrenesulfonate (PSS) as a detergent. The surfactant exchange process was monitored by infrared spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (...
