Abstract:In this study we developed hydrogel-based hybrid materials with gold nanoparticles that have tunable optical properties under light irradiation. Attaining the stimuli-responsive dynamic changes in the solid material from the optical properties of the gold nanoparticles depended on the interparticle distance, and we designed hydrogel-based organic-inorganic hybrids with gold nanoparticles. Homogeneously dispersed states of the modified gold nanoparticles were achieved in the hydrogel with the interaction of the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
