Previous reports on self-assembly of AuNP have encouraged us to do experimentation on a synthesis of an AuNP-polymer composite which is able to self-assemble in response to pH change. In this project, we tailored the AuNP, which is previously modified with PEG (poly ethylene glycol) via “grafting to...
