Preparation and characterization of self-assembled thiolated chitosan derivatives and gold nanoparticles / 国际生物医学工程杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To prepare self-assembled thiolated chitosan derivatives gold nanoparticles (CS-GNRs) and carry out the feature tests.Methods CS-GNRs was prepared by chitosan derivatives and GNRs through strong metal sulfur chemical bond between thiols and gold on GNRs surface.Morphology features was tested by transmission electron microscope,dynamic light scattering was adopted to observe the size of nanoparticles.Ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer was used to detect the optical properties and the property change.Meanwhile,the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) activity of CS-GNRs was investigated by using crystal violet (CV) as a probe molecular.Results CS-GNRs were in good shape,uniform particle size and good dispersion.The SERS of CV was enhanced,and the enhancement factor of CV adsorbed on CS-GNRs was up to 2×103.Conclusions The nanoparticles have potential application in molecular detection and Raman spectra detection.
