In this paper, experimental results are presented on the deposition of colloidal gold nanoparticles on the surfaces of TiO2 prepared on silicon/silicon dioxide. Important procedures, such as titanium dioxide surface hydrophilization as well as functionalization by an organosilane coupling agent (3-aminopropyl) trimethoxysilane and (3-mercaptopropyl...

Active targeting, which comprises recognition and attachment to target cells through receptor-ligand binding, is a promising approach for the treatment of viral infections, both as a supplement and as a potential replacement to conventional system-wide therapy. In particular, site-specific formulations for the treatment of HIV infection may overcom...

A simple and sensitive electrochemical determination of l-vanillin (VA), a powerful anti-microbial agent and a commonly employed food preservative was investigated using copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) film modified on 2-mercaptoethylamine functionalized colloidal gold nanoparticles (colloid-Au) graphite-wax composite electrode. As achieved surface...

Introduction: Limited data on the seroprevalence of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) among healthcare workers (HCW) are publicly available. In this study we sought to determine the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 in a population of HCWs in a pediatric emergency department (ED). Methods: We conducted this observational co...

In this paper, colloidal gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were synthesized by Nd:YAG (λ = 1064 nm) pulsed laser-assisted reduction (PLAR) of aqueous [AuCl4]⁻. In this process, during laser ablation of a Mo target in DI water, a [AuCl4]⁻ precursor solution was being added dropwise in situ. UV–Vis absorption spectra showed distinct plasmonic absorption band...
