A physicochemical and spectroscopic characterization of novel erlotinib conjugates with platinum nanoparticles

Catalytic activity of gold nanoparticles protected by quaternary ammonium salt-based gemini surfactants with different spacer structures

“…Metal nanoparticles generally exhibit different electromagnetic, chemical, thermal, and optical properties than their bulk counterparts because of their increased surface area and surface free energy, 5 imparting them with great potential for various applications, including as catalysts and drug delivery systems. 6,7 However, a change in properties can also lead to a change in stability when compared with bulk metals. Protective agents such as surfactants are therefore extensively used for metal nanoparticles because they adsorb at the interface and control their stability.…”

Quantitative and qualitative analyses of drug adsorption on silver nanoparticle monolayers: QCM, SERS, and TEIRA nanospectroscopy studies

“…8,9 Since SERS and SEIRA spectra are strongly affected by the way how the molecule adsorbs on the metal surface, these techniques provide control over what occurs on the metal nanosurfaces. [10][11][12][13] By analyzing the well-known surface selection rules that govern surface-enhanced vibrational spectra, it is possible to understand the appearing spectral patterns for molecules immobilized on the metal surfaces. Briefly, SERS molecular bands attributed to the modes with polarizability derivative components normal to the metal nanosurface dominate in the spectrum.…”
