Figure 6.
Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of lipid/Ag-decanethiol nanoparticle assemblies as a function of temperature. UV-vis spectroscopy was used to confirm the native AgNP SPR peak in hexane and in lipid/AgNP vesicle suspensions (0.6 mM lipid; 100:1 w/w). Optical properties of (a) DPPC/AgNP and (b) DPPC/DPPS/AgNP vesicles are shown as a function of temperature, which span the gel and fluid bilayer phases.
