Poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) is used as both reducing and stabilizing agent for the formation of AuNPs. In addition, the influence of an ionic liquid (IL) (i.e., 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate) on the stability of the nanoparticles and their immobilization in the hydrogel is investigated The results show that AuNPs surrounded by a shell containing PEI and IL, synthesized according to the one-pot approach, are much better immobilized within the PAAm hydrogel. Hereby, the IL is responsible for structural changes in the hydrogel as well as the improved stabilization and embedding of the AuNPs into the polymer gel matrix.}, language = {en} } @article{RojasTierschRabeetal.2013, author = {Rojas, Oscar and Tiersch, Brigitte and Rabe, Christian and Stehle, Ralf and Hoell, Armin and Arlt, Bastian and Koetz, Joachim}, title = {Nonaqueous Microemulsions Based on N,N '-Alkylimidazolium Alkylsulfate Ionic Liquids}, series = {Langmuir}, volume = {29}, journal = {Langmuir}, number = {23}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, address = {Washington}, issn = {0743-7463}, doi = {10.1021/la401080q}, pages = {6833 -- 6839}, year = {2013}, abstract = {The ternary system composed of the ionic liquid surfactant (IL-S) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium dodecylsulfate ([Bmim][DodSO(4)]), the room temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate ([Emim][EtSO4]), and toluene has been investigated. Three major mechanisms guiding the structure of the isotropic phase were identified by means of conductometric experiments, which have been correlated to the presence of oil-in-IL, bicontinuous, and IL-in-oil microemulsions. IL-S forms micelles in toluene, which swell by adding RTIL as to be shown by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments. Therefore, it is possible to form water free IL-in-oil reverse microemulsions <= 10 nm in size as a new type of nanoreactor.}, language = {en} } @article{TheteRojasNeumeyeretal.2013, author = {Thete, Aniket and Rojas, Oscar and Neumeyer, David and Koetz, Joachim and Dujardin, Erik}, title = {Ionic liquid-assisted morphosynthesis of gold nanorods using polyethyleneimine-capped seeds}, doi = {10.1039/C3RA22112A}, year = {2013}, abstract = {Seed-mediated gold nanorods with tunable lengths are prepared using new polyethyleneimine-capped gold nanoparticles synthesized in ionic liquid.
