Enhancement of Thermal Properties of Polymer-Coated Noble Metal Nanoparticles Using Plasmid DNA

摘要

In this study, the enhancement of the thermal properties of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-coated silver nanoparticles were carried out. For enhancement of thermal properties, the PVP-coated silver nanoparticles-plasmid DNA complex was formed by the adsorption of the plasmid-DNA onto the PVP-coated silver nanoparticle surface. Using this complex, evaluation of the thermal properties was carried out. As a result, after formation of the PVP-coated silver nanoparticles-plasmid DNA complex, enhancement of the thermal properties could be observed.
