Synthetic protective colloids

Polymer-Attached Catalysts

“…The gold number is inversely proportional to the protective value. The gold numbers and protective values of typical protective colloids are summarized in Table VII [136,137]. The protective value or gold number could be useful as a measure of colloid formation.…”

Preparation of Silver Nanoparticle Dispersions via a Dendritic‐Polymer Template Approach and their Use for Antibacterial Surface Treatment

“…This observation corresponds with the results of Thiele et al for experiments with neat hb-PEI macromolecules. [36] Related to this Zhang et al recently reported the formation of stable aqueous silver nanoparticle dispersions by utilizing amino-or methyl-terminated hyperbranched poly(amidoamine), hb-PAMAM. [37,38] However, the results can be attributed to the formation of hb-PAMAM protected silver nanoparticles instead of intramolecular encapsulated ones.…”

Factors Affecting the Staining with Colloidal Gold

“…The size and stability of the formed particles depend on the type and amount of added reducing agents. Some colloidal gold particles made by Michael Faraday in 1857 are known to be still preserved in the British Museum (Void and Void, 1964).

“…The charge may arise either from dissociation of substances that are an integral part of the crystal lattice of the particle or from chemical reaction of some specific small molecular species with the surface (Void and Void, 1964).
