Aqueous CdTe and organic CdSe/ZnS quantum dots (QDs) were encapsulated into SiO2beads using various controlled sol-gel processes. Ligand exchange is a key to adjust the QD number in each bead and get a high photoluminescence (PL). Namely, partial ligand exchange from thioglycolic acid to 3-mercaptopropyotrimethoxysilane (MPS) on the CdTe QDs enables retention of the initial PL efficiency of the QDs in water, while the simultaneous addition of a poor solvent (ethanol) resulted in regulated assembly of the QDs through condensation of hydrolyzed MPS. SiO2beads thus prepared had, for example, a diameter of 17 nm and contained 3 QDs each. The PL efficiency of these beads was 30%, while the initial PL efficiency was 38% in a colloidal solution. In addition, a method including surface silanization, phase transfer and self-assembly, and SiO2shell growth has been developed to incorporate multiple hydrophobic CdSe/ZnS QDs into SiO2beads where they are well suited for bio-application due to their high brightness, less-cytotoxic, and non-blinking nature. To investigate the potential use for labeling in bio-applications, SiO2beads with multiple QDs were conjugated with IgG using streptavidin-maleimide as linkers. This preparation method is an important step towards fabricating intensely emitting biocompatible SiO2beads impregnated with semiconductor QDs.

ABSTRACTBio-conjugated nanomaterials play a promising role in the development of novelsupramolecular structures, molecular machines, and biosensing devices. In this study, lipid-capped gold nanoparticles were synthesized and allowed to form a self-assembled monolayer structure. The nanoparticles were prepared by a phase transfer method, which involved the reduction of potassium tetrachloroaurate(III) by sodium citrate in an aqueous solution and the simultaneous transfer of the reduced species to an organic medium containing DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine). The gold nanoparticles were characterized using Uv-vis spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS) particle-size analysis. In addition, the resulting nanoparticles were examined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) technique was used to assemble the DMPC-capped nanoparticles onto a water subphase at room temperature. The measurement of the compression isotherm confirmed the assemblage of lipid capped gold nanoparticles. This method of synthesis of ordered structures utilizing molecular interactions of lipids will be useful in developing novel metamaterials and nanocircuits.
