| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research aims to elucidate a mechanism of fusion growth of gold nanoparticles conjugated with thermoresponsive polymers induced by thermal stimuli and to develop chemical probes measuring bio-related molecules based on the mechanism.
Elucidation of a mechanism of fusion growth of gold nanoparticles:We have found that 5-6 nm gold nanoparticles conjugated with thermoresponsive polymers fuse to grow as a result of being heated followed by being cooled. Some parameters such as temperature of a solution, heating time, types of inhibitors, and concentration of the inhibitors were in terms of TEM observation, spectrophotometry, dynamic light scattering, and small angle X-ray scattering to elucidate the mechanism. As a result, shrinkage of chains of the thermoresponsive polymers induced by heating a solution leaded to contact of the nanoparticles, resulting in the growth of the nanoparticles.
