Size Segregation of Gold Nanoparticles into Bilayer-like Vesicular Assembly
Size segregation of nanoparticles with different sizes into highly ordered, unique nanostructures is important for their practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate spontaneous self-assembly of the binary mixtures of small and large gold nanoparticles (GNPs; 5/15, 5/20, or 10/20 in diameter) in t...

| Zusammenfassung: | Size segregation of nanoparticles with different sizes into highly ordered, unique nanostructures is important for their practical applications. Herein, we demonstrate spontaneous self-assembly of the binary mixtures of small and large gold nanoparticles (GNPs; 5/15, 5/20, or 10/20 in diameter) in the presence of a tetra(ethylene glycol)-terminated octafluoro-4,4'-biphenol ligand, namely, TeOFBL, resulting in a size-segregated assembly. The outer single layer of large GNPs forming a gold nanoparticle vesicle (GNV) encapsulated the inner vesicle-like assembly composed of small GNPs, which is referred to as bilayer-like GNV and similar to the molecular bilayer structure of a liposome. The size segregation was driven by the solvophobic feature of the TeOFBLs on the surface of GNPs. A time-course study indicated that size segregation occurred instantaneously during the mixing stage of the self-organization process. The size-segregated precursors quickly fused with each other through the inner-inner and outer-outer layer fashion to form the bilayer-like GNV. This study provides a new approach to creating biomimetic bilayer capsules with different physical properties for potential applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering and drug delivery |
