Case 1: Gold Nanoparticle Functionalization
A research team achieved stable AuNP dispersion by:
- Dissolving 10 mg 1,10-decanedithiol in 5 mL ethanol
- Adding 2 mL colloidal AuNPs (20 nm diameter)
- Stirring at 500 rpm for 24 hours under N2
- Resulting SAMs showed 90% surface coverage by AFM analysis
