摘要
We report a synthesis of monodisperse water-soluble magnetic Co nanoparticles using a facile reduction method in aqueous media in the presence of alkyl thioether end-functionalized poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA-DDT) ligands. The size and shape of the nanoparticles are both tunable by varying synthesis conditions. The size of the spherical nanoparticles can be tuned between 2-7.5 nm by changing the concentration of the polymer. Our synthesis approach also provides a route for producing much larger spherical nanoparticles of 80 nm as well as anisotropic nanorods of 15 x 36 nm. The spherical nanoparticles are superparamagnetic at room temperature. The nanoparticles can be stable in water for up to eight weeks when 0.12 mM PMAA-DTT with molecular weight of 13 500 g mol(-1) is used as ligand.
