Synthesis of gold nanoparticles in niosomes.
This work outlines a novel method for the synthesis of stable gold nanoparticles within the spatially confined region of vesicles. For the first time, Span/cholesterol based niosomes have been used for nanoparticle synthesis. The restricted geometry within niosomes prevents nanoparticle aggregation. The results have important implications for controlled delivery of nanoparticles for therapeutic applications.
