Do the two-step: A two-step process to make solvent-free gold nanofluids is reported (see picture). The method comprises the grafting of the thiol MUA onto the gold-nanoparticle surface, followed by self-assembly with a PEG-substituted tertiary amine. The surface functionization adds some novel properties to the nanoparticles, such as conductivity and fluidity.
