From Functional Core/Shell Nanoparticles Prepared via Layer-by-Layer Deposition to Empty Nanospheres
Abstract
The adsorption (wrapping) of polyelectrolytes onto (around) oppositely charged nanospheres is a problem in colloid science (stabilization, surface functionalization), biology (DNA-histone complex) and in theoretical physics. Here we report that gold nanoparticles can easily be coated using Layer-by-Layer (LbL) deposition as the sole method. The resulting core/shell nanoparticles are so well stabilized that they can be centrifuged and redispersed without agitation or use of ultrasound. At an average recovery of about 95% of particles per layer, at least 20 layers can be deposited with a minimum of particle aggregation. Thus LbL opens a new and general route for the functionalization of nanoparticles even in aqueous media limiting the risk of ligand exchange reactions. In the case of gold colloids, the core can be gently dissolved resulting in empty (hollow?) nanospheres.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
