Many advanced industrial and biomedical applications that use silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), require that particles are not only nano-sized, but also well dispersed, not aggregated and not agglomerated. This study presents two methods able to give rapidly sizes of monodispersed AgNPs suspensions in the dimensional range of 20-100nm. The first method, based on the application of Mie's theory, determines the particle sizes from the values of the surface plasmon resonance wavelength (SPR), read from the optical absorption spectra, recorded between 190nm and 800nm. The computed sizes were compared with those determined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) and resulted in agreement with the nominal values in a range between 13% (for 20nm NPs) and 1% (for 100nm NPs), The second method is based on the masterly combination of the Sedimentation Field Flow Fractionation (SdFFF - now sold as Centrifugal FFF-CFFF) and the Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (OAS) techniques to accomplish sizes and quantitative particle size distributions for monodispersed, non-aggregated AgNPs suspensions. The SdFFF separation abilities, well exploited to size NPs, greatly benefits from the application of Mie's theory to the UV-vis signal elaboration, producing quantitative mass-based particle size distributions, from which trusted number-sized particle size distributions can be derived. The silver mass distributions were verified and supported by detecting off-line the Ag concentration with the graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GF-AAS).
许多使用银纳米颗粒(AgNPs)的先进工业和生物医学应用要求颗粒不仅是纳米尺寸的,而且要分散良好、不聚集、不结块。本研究提出了两种能够快速给出尺寸在20 - 100nm范围内的单分散AgNPs悬浮液粒径的方法。第一种方法基于米氏理论的应用,通过从190nm至800nm记录的光吸收光谱中读取的表面等离子体共振波长(SPR)值来确定颗粒尺寸。将计算得到的尺寸与通过透射电子显微镜(TEM)和动态光散射(DLS)测定的尺寸进行比较,结果在13%(对于20nm的纳米颗粒)至1%(对于100nm的纳米颗粒)的范围内与标称值一致。第二种方法基于沉降场流分级法(SdFFF,现作为离心场流分级法 - CFFF出售)和光吸收光谱法(OAS)技术的巧妙结合,以实现单分散、非聚集的AgNPs悬浮液的粒径测定和定量粒径分布。SdFFF的分离能力在用于纳米颗粒粒径测定时得到了充分利用,这极大地受益于将米氏理论应用于紫外 - 可见信号处理,从而产生基于质量的定量粒径分布,从中可以推导出可靠的基于数量的粒径分布。通过石墨炉原子吸收光谱法(GF - AAS)离线检测银浓度,对银的质量分布进行了验证和支持。
