Synthesis of Nanoparticles for Bioimaging
Abstract
The goal was to prepare nanoparticles in microemulsions. The experimental procedure was learned by preparing silica and gold nanoparticles. Particle characterization was done using Dynamic Light Scattering. The size of the silica and gold nanoparticles was found to decrease with increased w/o. The aim of this experiment was to synthesis fluorescent nanoparticles and gold nanoparticles. These are commonly used in bioimaging.
Introduction
As researchers continue to develop a wide range of nanoparticle-enabled technologies for bioimaging, there is a growing need to understand how the basic physical properties of a particular nanoparticle affect biologically relevant behavior such as cellular uptake.
The most popular microemulsion system for preparation of nanoparticle is “water-in-oil” (w/o) microemulsion system, and commonly referred to as reverse micelles. W/o microemulsions have tremendous scope for manipulation......
