30. 125-Au nanoparticles have a tendency to aggregate when stored at 4 °C. Indeed, after a year, the majority of the sample deposits as dimer and trimer aggregates as observed by TEM (see Figure 1). Gentle heating of these nanoparticles in a toluene solution for 10 min breaks the aggregates apart. However, no change in the UV-vis spectra was noted after heating for this sample.
31. TEM provides the average diameter of the circumsphere of the nanoparticle core. TGA provides the weight fraction of organic/Au for the nanoparticles. The combination of data allows for the simple calculation of the nanoparticle average composition.
32. 9/chain) can be explained by a combination of the nature of the thiol end group which has the same conformation as an alkanethiol and of the presence of the voids at the facet edges which provides extra volume for the dense PS chains.
