Abstract

A stable gold colloid dispersed in ethanol solution was prepared by coating with MUA. The stability of MUA-gold particles in the ethanol solution was studied using UV-Vis absorption spectra, which were affected by the MUA concentration, water concentration, initial particle size of the gold and heat treatment A stable MUA-gold colloid in ethanol was obtained when the concentrations of MUA and water were 0.02 mM and 16.7 M, respectively. The small sizes of the gold particles before encapsulation and a low temperature were preferable for the stability of MUA-gold particles in the ethanol solution.
