The preparation and properties of tert-dodecanethiol protected gold nanoparticles amenable to very rapid surface functionalization by associative mechanism is described. The new material can be easily prepared by controlling the reaction time, because only a limited but enough number of tert-dodecanethiol to stabilize the gold clusters is bond to the surface until about an hour. Accordingly, it can be isolated as a solid and handled much like the highly stabilized Brust-Schiffrin analogues, but reacted very rapidly with any molecular species containing one or multiple functional groups such as thiol, disulfide, pyridine, etc., These characteristics are ideal for the preparation of a variety of new organic–inorganic hybrid nanomaterials by coordinative self-assembly. This possibility was illustrated using meso-tetra(4-pyridyl)porphyrin, which promptly bonded to the reactive protected gold nanoparticles generating a solid that can be grown as thin films with layer-by-layer control on a suitably modified surface.

AbstractFabrication strategies based on mechanisms of self-assembly are now widely being recognized as inevitable tools in nanotechnology. Self-organized construction of advanced materials and devices may be done starting with tailor made nanoparticles as building blocks. Multilayer thin films of gold, zinc sulphide and manganese doped zinc Sulfide nanoparticles were fabricated by a modified polyelectrolyte deposition process. A prerequisite to utilization of colloids for the fabrication of uniform layers is that they remain in suspension and resist unwanted agglomeration. The stability of colloids is generally achieved either by electrostatic stabilization, involving the creation of an electrical double layers arising from ions intentionally adsorbed on the surface of the particle and associated counter ions that surround the particle, or by steric hindrance that is achieved by the adsorption of macromolecules on the surface of the particles. The inherent necessity to introduce electrostatic or steric hindrance to avoid colloidal agglomeration was utilized to induce self-assembly of multilayers applying similar concept used for the layering of polyelectrolytes. Polyacrylic acid was used as the polyanion and chitosan as the polycation for the deposition process. Upto 100 layers of nanoparticles were constructed and films that were found to be stable and uniform over the substrate. The layer-by-layer deposition of multilayers of several different structures was prepared and devices showing resistive and capacitive electrical characteristics have been fabricated. The onset of electrical conduction in the resistive devices could be varied by introducing a dielectric interlayer between gold nanoparticles and by introducing a gold overlayer on the zinc sulphide nanoparticle devices.

Herein, poly (N-(4-aminophenyl) methacrylamide))-carbon nano-onions (PAPMA-CNOs = f-CNOs) and anilinated-poly (ether ether ketone) (AN-PEEK) have synthesized, and AN-PEEK/f-CNOs composite thin films were primed via layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly for stimuli-responsive drug release. The obtained thin films exhibited pH-responsive drug release in a controlled manner; pH 4.5 = 99.2% and pH 6.5 = 59.3% of doxorubicin (DOX) release was observed over 15 days. Supramolecular π-π stacking interactions between f-CNOs and DOX played a critical role in controlling drug release from thin films. Cell viability was studied with human osteoblast cells and augmented viability was perceived. Moreover, the thin films presented 891.4 ± 8.2 MPa of the tensile strength (σult), 43.2 ± 1.1 GPa of Young’s modulus (E), and 164.5 ± 1.7 Jg−1 of toughness (K). Quantitative scrutiny revealed that the well-ordered aligned nanofibers provide critical interphase, and this could be responsible for augmented tensile properties. Nonetheless, a pH-responsive and mechanically robust biocompatible thin-film system may show potential applications in the biomedical field.
