摘要
The water-soluble Ag nanoparticles capped with novel zwitterionic thioalkylated phosphorylcholine were synthesized.The Ag nanoparticles showed remarkable stability in saline media with salt concen-trations as high as 2.0 mol/L and plasma using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy.Similarly,compared with tiopronin and citrate-protected Ag nanoparticles,the zwitterionic phosphorylcholine Ag nanopar-ticles did not precipitate out of solution when charged polyelectrolytes or biopolymers were added.The zwitterionic phosphorylcholine might be a better ligand for stabilizing metal nanoparticles.
