Solution properties of spherical gold nanoparticles with grafted DNA chains from simulation and theory

Abstract

There has been a rapidly growing interest in the use of functionalized Au nanoparticles (NPs) as platforms in multiple applications in medicine and manufacturing. The sensing and targeting characteristics of...

Photoacid-macroion assemblies: how photo-excitation switches the size of nano-objects

“…S14a †). 67 This difference can be attributed to the larger range of molar ratios, which we herein investigated. Nevertheless, this fails to explain the differences seen between the azo dye and the photoacid regarding the different binding behavior, despite their molecular resemblance.…”

“…These small values are known for microgel particles and polyelectrolyte complexes where the interior core is denser than the outer part of the nano-object. [65][66][67] The origin of this masterplot behavior based on molecular interactions will be discussed belowvide infra.…”

Topological “Shape” in Micellar Dynamics

“…The global shape equivalence of ambient isotopy ,,, is chosen, as “...a homotopy of homeomorphisms...” (see Definition 3.0 below.) We avoid the numeric calculations inherent in shape quantification , − providing a more abstract overview for refinement. , Our dimensional extension from 1-manifolds to 3-manifolds is significant, as presented in Lemma 3.2.…”

“…The visualizations available from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software , are integral to a comprehensive workflow . Quantitative consideration of shape appears broadly in chemistry. − Shape modeling is pervasive in fluid analyses in science, engineering, , and athletics. , …”

Probing conformational properties of conjugated polymers in dilute solutions under variable solvent quality via coarse‐grained modeling

“…Previous works have established ZENO's capability to accurately replicate experimental dilute solution characteristics. 26,[55][56][57]…”
