Gold Nanoparticles: Controlled Assembly of Biocompatible Metallic Nanoaggregates Using a Small Molecule Crosslinker (Adv. Mater. 35/2015). (September 2015) - Van Haute, Desiree
Abstract Nanoparticle assembly is of importance for applications ranging from medical diagnostics to solar panels. On page 5158, J. M. Berlin and co‐workers report that the use of a small molecule crosslinker allows for control of metallic nanoparticle assembly in a fashion analogous to polymerization reactions. The size of the assembled aggregates can be tuned, and they are highly homogeneous, stable, and biocompatible.
