Title: Regiospecific assembly of gold nanoparticles around the pores of diatoms: toward three-dimensional nanoarrays. Author: Toster J, Iyer KS, Burtovyy R, Burgess SS, Luzinov IA, Raston CL. Journal: J Am Chem Soc; 2009 Jun 24; 131(24):8356-7. PubMed ID: 19530723. Abstract: The templated growth of gold nanoparticles in 3D arrays within the nanopores of unicellular diatoms involves pretreament of the skeletons with poly(vinylpyridine) which has a unique dewetting property. This self-assembly provides a nanochemical analogue of lithography for engineering complex nanostructures. The process can be universally applied to the many types of diatom skeletons which vary in size and structure.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
