Gold colloidal

The notion of using the colloidal route to create small metal particles for catalytic use has considerable merit. In principle the mean size and size 

Although the mutual solubility of gold and platinum is limited (Section 2.6), there are many examples of small particles in which they appear to be in solid solution41,49 (see also Section 4.4) this is a consequence of a difference in the way the valence electrons are used from the situation with massive alloys. 

Bimetallic colloids containing gold and palladium or platinum have been deposited onto carbon or graphite for use as catalysts for the selective oxidation of organic compounds52 (Section 8.3), in the same way as for pure gold colloids (Section 4.6).

This ion is very easily reduced to gold, and hence alkaline solutions of chloraurates(III) (often wrongly called gold chloride ) are used with a reducing agent to prepare colloidal gold. 

Like other high molecular weight and particulate materials such as India ink (Tsilibary and Wissig, 1977), erythrocytes (Flessner et al., 1983), latex particles (Bettendorf, 1979), or colloidal gold (Langhammer et al., 1973), liposomes are removed from the peritoneal cavity via the lymphatics of the diaphragm (Parker et al.,... 

Figure 13 presents a schematic diagram for drug absorption from the peritoneal cavity. As mentioned above, particles (e.g., erythrocytes, bacteria, colloidal gold, and liposomes) which are not able to pass capillary membranes are removed from the peritoneal cavity via the lymphatic system (Fig. 13, I and II). Relatively low molecular weight compounds (e.g., drugs) are exclusively absorbed via splenic blood capillaries into the portal vein (Fig. 13, III).

On detailed electrical characteristics of a SET transistor utilizing charging effects on metal nanoclusters were reported by Sato et al. [26]. A self-assembled chain of colloidal gold nanoparticles was connected to metal electrodes, which were formed by electron-beam lithography. The cross-linking of the particles as well as their connection to the electrodes results from a linkage by bifunctional organic molecules, which present the tunnel barriers.

Separation of colloids by GPC is an important technical advance that may help in the characterization of novel materials. One such separation was the shape separation of gold particles of nanometer size by GPC on a Nucleogel GFC 1000-8 column using sodium dodecyl sulfate and Brij-35 [polyoxyethylene (23) dodecanol] to modulate the adsorption properties of the colloidal gold.42 Rodlike and spherical particles were separated using UV-VIS detection.
