Abstract
Hybrid nanoparticles composed of chitin nanowhiskers (ChNWs) and gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) having an improved stability were prepared. The grafting of monomethoxypoly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) and subsequent surface adsorption of AuNCs enabled the steric stabilization of ChNW/AuNC hybrids. mPEGs with terminal formyl groups and diethylacetal protecting groups were grafted via in situ deprotection and reductive amination with the surface amino groups (SAGs) of ChNWs. The treatment of chitin with a 30% sodium hydroxide solution improved the SAG contents of the ChNWs obtained from acid hydrolysis, resulting in an enhancement in mPEG grafting. The obtained sterically stabilized ChNW/AuNC hybrids exhibited remarkable dispersion stability at higher AuNC and electrolyte concentrations.
期刊介绍：
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
