Abstract EN
The goal of this paper is to immobilize gold nanoparticles uniformly on a glass substrate.
In order to attach gold-nanorods (GNRs) to an area of a few squared microns surface of glass substrate without preliminary coating of the GNR, 3-(Mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane molecules were used as linker while using different methods.
These methods included placing the glass slide and the GNR (1) inside a tube without any motion; (2) inside a shaker; (3) in a fan setup.
The fan setup included a tube containing the GNR solution and the glass slide at a vertical position, when the fan blows above the tube, producing turbulations in the liquid.
Each method was evaluated according to the density and the homogeneousness of the GNR monolayer on the surface.
The uniformity of the monolayer was demonstrated using AFM images of different areas on the slides, and the effectiveness of the protocol was demonstrated by calculating the average density of the GNR on the surface using image processing and analysis software.
It was found that while both the shaker and the fan setups improved the monolayer density, the fan setup improved the density by a factor of more than two than the density found using the shaker.
