PREPARATION OF GOLD NANOPARTICLES STABILIZED BY CHITOSAN USING IRRADIATION AND SONICATION METHODS
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized, in the absence of any reducing agent, using ionizing radiation or ultrasound in aqueous solutions of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4). Chitosan (average molecular weight 158 kDa, degree of deacetylation 90 %) was used as a stabilizing agent. Both techniques yielded AuNPs which were stable in solution at RT for at least 3 months after synthesis. UV-Vis spectroscopy was used to follow substrate decay, nanoparticles formation, size of the gold core and particles stability. Hydrodynamic radii and polydispersion of the chitozan-stabilized AuNPs (i.e. the whole core-shell nanoparticles) were determined by dynamic light scattering. Zeta potential measurements were performed to assess the surface charge and stability of the particles. Influence of synthesis parameters and presence of isopropanol on the formation and properties of the products have been described and reaction mechanisms have been discussed. Radiation and sonochemical methods are demonstrated to be very efficient, fast and easy-to-control methods of synthesizing gold nanoparticles, leaving behind no unreacted reducing agent or unwanted side products, while stabilization by chitosan provides AuNPs with excellent stability and long shelf life.
