synthesis of organo-soluble gold nanoparticles on poly(n,n-dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate)

The possibility of direct synthesis of gold nanoparticles in organic solvents has been the focus of researchers in the last couple of decades. this study describes a novel and facile approach to synthysize lspr-tunable gold nanoparticles (aunps) in organic solvents with different polarities (isopropyl alcohol and dichloromethane) using poly(n,n-dimethyl aminoethyl methacrylate) as both reducing and stabilizing agent without the need for further stabilizer or reducing agent. the optical property, size and shape of aunps were investigated using uv-vis spectroscopy and tem microscopy, respectively.
