In Situ Growth and Size Regulation of Single Gold Nanoparticles in Composite Microgels

Abstract: Herein, a novel method for the in situ growth of single gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in microgel (MG) networks is presented. The key feature in this approach is the localization of β‐diketone groups capable of both complexation and reduction of aurate ions in the MGs’ core, which allows localization of the nucleation and growth of single AuNPs. The MG synthesis is carried out via precipitation polymerization in water with N‐vinylcaprolactam as the main monomer and with the two comonomers acetoacetoxyethyl methac… Show more

“…By localising beta-diketone groups capable of complexing and reducing aureate ions in the core of core-shell microgel particles, Thies et al managed to grow individual gold NPs in each core [71]. Moreover, they used these particles as a seed for further growth, with anisotropic rod-like shapes at high ionic concentrations, and avoiding the formation of secondary gold nuclei.…”

“…Gold nanospheres (AuNSs), which have received the most attention due to the ease of their synthesis, are AuNPs in the form of spheres [53]. The most common method for synthesizing spherical AuNPs is based on the nucleation and growth process of citrate reduction of HAuCl 4 in aqueous solution [54]. However, this approach has certain limitations such as cytotoxicity and long duration.…”

“…4,7,10,11 By polymerising PNIPAM around an organic or inorganic core, core-shell structures can be obtained. As a few examples, PNIPAM microgel shells have been polymerised around another microgel, 12 a polystyrene latex core, 13,14 gold 15,16 and silica 15 particles. Core-shell microgels are versatile systems that combine the properties of the different constituents offering for instance appealing catalytic 14,17 or optical properties 18 related to the conformational control of the surrounding microgel shell with the temperature.…”
