a UV–visible spectrum of the DMAP-PTA-AuNPs at different time intervals showing surface plasmon resonance band at 520 nm. DMAP-PTA-AuNPs tend to aggregate after 48 h as can be observed by surface plasmon resonance band’s broadening. b TEM image of the DMAP-PTA-AuNPs showing polydispersed particles in the range of 5–20 nm
