We report a new method of immobilization of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on a fused-silica capillary through covalent binding. The resulting modified capillary was applied to electrophoretic systems to improve the efficiency ...

Branched gold nanoparticles were prepared by a seed-mediated approach using per-6-thio-6-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin capped gold nanospheres as seeds and a growth medium similar to those commonly employed to prepare gold nanorods, ...

The aim of the current study is to present a strategy to improve the effciency of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), which is widely used as antineoplastic agent against solid tumors-based on the use of gold nanocarriers to overcome ...

In the present study, we report the photophysical properties of colloidal ensembles of silicon quantum dots (SiDs) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), particularly focusing on investigating metal-enhanced photoluminescence ...

Nanoparticles (NPs) coated with alkyl chains cannot be dissolved in diglycidylether of bisphenol A (DGEBA), which is a typical monomer used in the synthesis of epoxy networks. We show that adding small amounts of the linear ...

The preparation and structural elucidation of the 2 alpha-cyclodextrin/decylamine inclusion compound (IC) by proton nuclear magnetic resonance, rotating frame overhauser effect spectroscopy and powder X-ray diffraction ...
