pH- and Ion-responsive Membranes from Self-Assembly/Sintering of SiO2@Au Core-Shell Nanospheres
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 March 2013
Abstract
We prepared colloidal crystals by self-assembly of gold-coated silica nanospheres, and formed free-standing nanoporous membranes by sintering these colloidal crystals. We modified the nanopore surface with ionizable functional groups, by forming a monolayer of L-cysteine or by surface-initiated polymerization of methacrylic acid. Diffusion experiments for neutral and cationic dyes showed that transport through these surface-modified Au-coated colloidal membranes can be controlled by pH and presence of metal cations.
