In this work, Ag nanoparticles were deposited on quartz glass substrates by magnetron sputtering method, and the morphology was characterized by SEM. Ag nanoparticle surface plasmon resonance characteristics were observed by transmittance measurement. The experimental results demonstrated an increase in particle size that was correlated to an increase in sputtering time and a plasmon resonance absorption peak redshift. This phenomenon was partially explained by Mie scattering model. The differences between our theoretical analysis and experimental results show that both the shape of and the spacing between nanoparticles are key parameters affecting plasmon resonance peak location.

Seed-mediated growth method (SMGM) in preparation of gold nanoparticles becomes one of the most popular methods due to the simplicity of the experimental procedures and flexibility in structural modifications. In this paper, we report a new method for synthesizing gold nanoparticles using silver seeds. The effect of seed concentration and growth time are investigated in this work. By increasing the silver seed concentration, it is found that the color of the colloidal gold nanorods obtained are changed from light pink to reddish purple, the surface plasmon resonance band is shifted to the blue region whereas absorption spectra becomes narrower. The additional peak is also spotted when increasing silver seed concentration to 5 µl. Meanwhile, increasing the growth time from 5 to 240 minutes tends to increase the color concentration of the solution. Besides that, the absorbance of colloidal gold nanorods is also increased with an increase in the growth time whereas optimum growth time is found to be 45 minutes. FESEM characterization shows that gold nanoparticles shapes are dominated by nanorods with average length, width, and aspect ratio are 129.8 nm, 42.9 nm, and 3.4, respectively. The energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) shows the chemical composition of the synthesized sample is Gold (Au) with weight % and atomic % are 32.23 and 5.98, respectively. Besides that, signals from Carbon (C), Oxygen (O), and Indium (In) atoms were also recorded from EDS spectra. The present approach thus provides new method for synthesis gold nanoparticles with additional plasmon resonance peak thus it has very potential for application in plasmonic sensing.

The interactions of nanoparticles with living organisms are driven by an interface called the protein corona. This interface is formed when nanoparticles are introduced in biological milieu and proteins are adsorbed at nanoparticles’ surfaces. Understanding the factors that are responsible for the formation and the composition of the protein corona could reveal mechanistic insights that are involved in the interaction of nanoparticles with biological structures. Multiple studies have qualitatively described the protein corona, but just a few have proposed quantification methods, especially for gold nanoparticles. Using bovine serum albumin conjugated with fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate as a model protein, we developed a fluorescent-based quantification method for gold nanoparticles’ protein coronas. The impact of nanoparticle size and surface chemistry was studied, and our research emphasizes that size and surface chemistry are determinant factors: Bigger nanoparticles and amino-modified surface chemistry are responsible for higher protein adsorption compared to smaller ones and carboxyl- or methoxy-modified surface chemistry. The proposed method can be used to complete the full picture of the interactions of nanoparticles with biological milieu and to describe the parameters which govern these interactions for the better development of nanomedicines.
