Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) based transparent and conductive films (TCFs) are one of the most prospective materials for novel flexible stretchable electronic devices. Development reproducible scalable doping procedure is key step towards widespread implementation SWCNT TCFs. Here, we thoroughly investigate a dip-coating technique as promising approach practical manufacturing with high...

Development of biologically inspired experimental processes for the synthesis of nanoparticles might be important in biomedical applications. Solanum torvum extract when challenged with chloroauric acid leads to formation of gold nanoparticles. The formations of gold nanoparticles were studied by UV-vis spectra and their size of gold nanoparticles in the colloidal solutions was investigated by ...

A facile one-pot approach for synthesis of gold nanoparticles with narrow size distribution and good stability was presented by reducing chloroauric acid with a polysaccharide, konjac glucomannan (KGM) in alkaline solution, which is green and economically viable. Here, KGM served both as reducing agent and stabilizer. The effects of KGM on the formation and stabilization of as-synthesized gold ...

In this paper, we present a novel strategy, named Synchronous One-Pot (SOP) synthesis, to prepare gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with a diameter of 2nm incorporated in self-assembled organic spheres with a diameter around 60nm (denoted as NPAs). Merits of this method include: (1) self-assembly of the organic component (calix[6]biscrown TAC) into spheres and the reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl(...

The purpose of this study is to establish a novel, simple and rapid surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) detection technology for fenamidone. Fenamidone fungicide widely used with curative activity against oomycete diseases. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared by improved trisodium citrate reduction method chloroauric acid. As scattering active colloid, the optimized product had adva...

We synthesize robust clusters of gold satellites positioned with tetrahedral symmetry on the surface of a patchy silica core by adsorption and growth of gold on the patches. First we conduct emulsion polymerization of styrene in the presence of 52 nm silica seeds whose surface has been modified with methacryloxymethyltriethoxysilane (MMS). We derive four-dimple particles from the resulting sili...

Controlled synthesis of well-defined planar Au nanodendrites with a symmetric single-crystalline structure consisting of trunks and side branches grown along the 211 directions was realized by reducing chloroauric acid in aqueous mixed solutions of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) and beta-cyclodextrin (beta-CD). It has been revealed that the formation of the supramolecular complexes of ...
