Combination of 4-ATP Coated Silver Nanoparticles and Magnetic Fe3O4 Nanoparticles by Inverse Emulsion Method

Aminothiophenol (4-ATP) functionalized silver nanoparticles and magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were combined in a bi-functional nanocolloids which were covered by an approximately 5nm SiO2 layer by inverse emulsion method in order to apply to biomedicine. High saturated magnetization Ms indicated that the colloids are easy to be controlled by external magnetic field, while the characteristic Surface Enhanced Raman peak positions of 4-ATP absorbed on the metal particles were occurred without any alterations, which significantly predicted attractive applicability of the colloids for biomedical labeling.
