Microwave-assisted Synthesis of Triangular Silver Nanoplates : Influence of Seed Clusters
Decato, Daniel A.; Laskowski, Anneliese E. (2013-05)The purpose of this study was to produce silver nanoparticles by an aqueous synthesis using a variable frequency microwave reactor system, where silver nitrate was reduced by polyvinylpyrrolidone, with no other reagent ... -
Native Ligand Shell Rigidity and Crosslinking Ligand Dimensions Determine Interparticle Spacing In 2-D Arrays of Covalently-Crosslinked Gold Nanoparticle Films
Metko, Muriel M.; Walbrun, Zachary S.; Check, Brianna I.; McCracken, Cailin N.; Dahl, Jennifer A. (2019-05)Alkane thiol-capped gold nanoparticles were compressed into 2-d arrays using a Langmuir trough, and covalently crosslinked using a solution of alkanethiols to yield a flexible film of nanoparticles. These nanoparticles ... -
Organic-Inorganic Nanoscale Composites : Optical Properties as a Function of Anisotropic Orientation
Miller, Eric J.; Richards, Connor J.; Reitano, Nicholas M.; Lobermeier, Kyle L.; Dahl, Jennifer A. (2017-04-06)Previous studies in our lab demonstrated the fabrication of covalently cross-linked soft networks of hydrophobic gold nanoparticles with the aid of a Langmuir trough. These composite materials exhibited greater mechanical ... -
Rapid Microwave-Assisted Shape Controlled Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles
Decato, Daniel A. (2012-04)The majority of procedures for shape-controlled silver nanoparticle synthesis report the use of a common set of reagents: a source of silver ions, a reducing agent, a shape directing agent, and a capping/protective agent. ... -
Structural Characteristics of Crosslinked Gold Nanoparticle Networks Formed at an Air-water Interface
Sanders II, Tayo A.; Sauceda, Mariah N. (2013-05)The structural dynamics of thin films of surfactant molecules can be characterized by their behavior in a Langmuir trough, where the molecules reside at the air-water interface. Parameters such as molecular order, film ... -
Two-Dimensional Arrays of Alkanethiol-Capped Gold : Analysis of Monolayer Formation Using a Langmuir Trough
Sanders II, Tayo A. (2012-04)The structural dynamics of thin films of surfactant molecules can be characterized by their behavior in a Langmuir trough, where the molecules reside at the air-water interface. Parameters such as molecular order, film ...
