Gold nanoparticles were characterized using dynamic light scattering (DLS) to determine hydrodynamic size in solution and with zeta potential to determine surface charge. (A) The hydrodynamic size of two and three layer gold nanoparticles was determined to be 74.91 ± 13.3 nm and 85.26 ± 18.7 nm, respectively. (B) Two layer gold nanoparticles exhibited an anionic charge of −20 mV, while three layer gold nanoparticles were more neutrally charged at −2 mV.
