Abstract

Various methodologies are currently available for synthesis of gold nanoparticles; chemical reduction method is among the interesting ones. Gold chlorauric acid (H[AuCl4]) could be reduced by sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in aqueous solution. Within this work, poly diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride (PDDA) was used as a capping agent for synthesis of gold nanoparticles. Characterization techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and UV-visible spectroscopy approved the obtained gold nanoparticles.
