Role of Collagen Concentration in Stability of Star-Shaped Silver@Gold Nanoparticles

Abstract:

In this report, star-shaped silver@gold (Ag@Au) nanoparticles were synthesized in collagen (Coll) suspensions by a seeding growth approach. The silver nanoparticles were used as seeds for Au development. Coll was used as a protecting agent and the effect of its concentration on stability was also examined. Obtained nanoparticles were then characterized by UV-Vis, TEM, XRD and FTIR. The result was confirmed by the maximum surface plasmon resonance peak at 566-580 nm for each sample indicating the formation of branched Ag@Au@Coll NPs. The average diameters of the branched Ag@Au@Coll NPs were revealed to be 30-50 nm depending on the corresponding component ratio and the pH value. It is interesting to note that the concentration of Coll plays a critical role in the stability of the star-shaped gold nanoparticles. The results offer an understanding of the handling of the electronic and the silver@gold based nanoparticles stability properties.
