Improved rapid preparation of polyelectrolyte-protected gold nanoparticles through a microwave-based thermal process
This work demonstrates the improved, size-controlled preparation of polyelectrolyte-protected gold nanoparticles, carried out by microwave radiation of an aqueous solution containing chloroauric acid and amine-containing polyelectrolyte.
