A scalable synthesis of highly stable and water dispersible Ag-44(SR)(30) nanoclusters

Francesco Stellacci

We report the synthesis of atomically monodisperse thiol-protected silver nanoclusters Ag-44(SR)(30), (SR = 5-mercapto-2-nitrobenzoic acid) in which the product nanocluster is highly stable in contrast to previous preparation methods. The method is on ...

Determination of nanoparticle size distribution together with density or molecular weight by 2D analytical ultracentrifugation

Francesco Stellacci, Randy Patrick Carney, Jiwon Kim

Nanoparticles are finding many research and industrial applications, yet their characterization remains a challenge. Their cores are often polydisperse and coated by a stabilizing shell that varies in size and composition. No single technique can character ...

Refractive-index and density matching in concentrated particle suspensions: a review

Christophe Ancey, Nicolas Andreini, Gaël Epely Chauvin, Sébastien Wiederseiner

Optical measurement techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) are now routinely used in experimental fluid mechanics to investigate pure fluids or dilute suspensions. For highly concentrated particle suspension ...

Extraction of haemoglobin from human blood by affinity precipitation using a haptoglobin-based stimuli-responsive affinity macroligand

Gisela Stocker Majd

Affinity precipitation was compared to affinity chromatography and batch adsorption as the final purification step in a protocol for the isolation of haemoglobin from human blood. Haptoglobin was the affinity ligand. The first steps on the process were rea ...
