The modification of electrode surfaces by depositing self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs)
provides the possibility for controlled adjustment of various key parameters in organic and …

Nanotechnology has held great promise for revolutionizing biology. The biological behavior
of nanomaterials depends primarily on how they interface to biomolecules and their …

Conjugation of proteins to nanoparticles has numerous applications in sensing, imaging,
delivery, catalysis, therapy and control of protein structure and activity. Therefore …

Ligand exchange reactions are widely used for imparting new functionality on or integrating
nanoparticles into devices. Thiolate-for-thiolate ligand exchange in monolayer protected …

Molecularly linked gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles chains arc produced from
superparamagnetic gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles under zero applied magnetic field. The …

Spherical nanoparticles (NPs), uniformly coated with a simple polymer used to passivate
NPs in solution, are shown to produce highly asymmetric coating arrangements. We show …

Gold nanoparticles protected by a binary mixture of thiolate molecules have a ligand shell
that can spontaneously separate into nanoscale domains. Complex morphologies arise in …

The preparation and the properties of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) protected by
perfluorinated amphiphiles are described. The thiols were devised to form a perfluorinated …

We report classical atomistic molecular dynamics simulations of alkanethiol-coated gold
nanoparticles solvated in water and decane, as well as at water/vapor interfaces. The …

The influence of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) on the aggregation of amyloid-β-(25–35)
peptides (Aβ25–35) is investigated by atomic force microscopy and Thioflavin T …
