2011 APR 27 - (VerticalNews.com) -- "The direct synthesis of water-soluble goldrnnanoparticles with a mixed shell of two different thiols, 1-mercaptoundec-11-yl-hexa(ethylenernglycol) (EG6) and dodecanethiol (C12), and their characterization are reported. Data from IRrnspectroscopy and contact angle (CA) measurements as well as the solubility of the nanoparticlesrnin water support that the composition of the shell is in the range of the thiol ratio used forrnsynthesis (EG6:C12 = 72:28)," scientists in Essen, Germany report.
