Extremely Stable Water-Soluble Ag Nanoparticles

Abstract: A rationally designed peptide and a thioalkylated poly(ethylene glycol) are used to stabilize Ag nanoparticles in water. Particle aggregation and oxidation are prevented to such a degree that nanoparticle solutions are stable in the presence of high concentrations of NaCl and over a wide pH range. This opens the door for the use of Ag nanoparticles in biological applications.

“…In addition, the most commonly used stabilizers are thiol derivatives [25], ionic or neutral surfactants [26], alkylamines [27], or carboxylic compounds [17], therefore the alkyl chains and other functional groups of hydrogel matrix could be acting as stabilizers of Ag-NPs. A rearrangement of electronically excited molecules could be possible in photochemistry process; in the sense that they follow reaction pathways that are usually inaccessible in the ground state (activation barriers in the ground state are very high).…”

“…Therefore, general pathways for pure metal functionalization may lead to unstable bonds that can be impaired through the input of thermal, chemical or electrical energy 221,222 . Pure metal nanoparticles have been successfully functionalized with thiols 204,223,224 , di-sulfides 200 , amines 223,[225][226][227] , nitriles, carboxylic acids and phosphines 225,226,228 . Selected examples will be presented in the following sections.…”

“…Hydrophobic metal NPs and surfaces, stabilized with long alkyl ammonium ion chains, can be rendered hydrophilic through this process 227 . Although interactions between amino groups and metal NP surfaces are much weaker than those of thiol terminated compounds, large proteins and peptides were shown to link to silver NPs through both thiol and amine functionalities 223 .…”

“…2 Ag-dispersed polymers are highly preferred because the resulting nanocomposites can be used in catalysts, drugs and wound dressings, optical information storage, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering. [3][4][5] However, the formation of homogeneously dispersed Ag nanoparticles on a polymer matrix is difficult because the nanoparticles easily agglomerate. 6 Convenient and effective ways of preparing homogeneously dispersed Ag nanoparticles on polymer materials have yet to be established.…”
