Description:: Polymer nanoparticles (PNPs) were formed from amphiphilic diblock copolymers consisting of a hydrophilic block with pendant polyethylene glycol tosylate (PEG-OTs) groups and a hydrophobic block with pendant terthiophene (TTT) groups. The resulting PNPs were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to determine size, shape, and...

Description:: Oligonucleotide-functionalized gold nanoparticles (DNA-Au NPs) find ubiquitous use in various biomolecular detection schemes due to their unique chemical and physical properties. This study investigates the effects of nanoparticle size and concentration of salt in solution on the DNA loading of the Au NP surface. The DNA loading studies are performed...

Description:: This report describes the development of bioorganic small-molecule complexes for the directed assembly of functional nanomaterials. In particular, it examines the synthesis of small acetylene-based organic precursors for attaching DNA to form DNA/organic hybrids. This work continues previous studies demonstrating how DNA/polymer hybrid composites have sharper melting points than DNA...
