Morphological and Rheological Characterization of Gold Nanoparticles Synthesized Using Pluronic P103 as Soft Template

Figure 8

Variation of viscosity for hybrid gold/P103 nanomaterials versus rheological measurement temperature. The synthesis temperatures for these materials are (□) 30°C. White arrow indicates intermicelle collisions, the image was taken in dark field mode () 35°C and (⋄) 50°C, and P103 remained constant at 15 wt.%. The line is a guide for the eye. Right: TEM images of nanomaterials.
