Recent advances in polymer protected gold nanoparticles: synthesis, properties and applications.
The use of various functionalized polymers as stabilizers to design metal core-organic shell hybrid nanoparticle architectures has attracted increasing interest for different applications. The feature article reviews recent reports published from 2004 to the beginning of 2007 on the synthesis of polymer protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and also comments their properties and applications.
