Abstract

A comprehensive analysis of an aqueous solution of gold nanoparticles with an average size of 6 nm in a citrate buffer has been carried out, with investigation of the solution rheology and structure by electron and atomic force microscopy. A deviation of the rheological behavior of hydrosol from the Newtonian properties is found even at low gold nanoparticle concentrations. The specific features of the rheological behavior of hydrosol are explained based on the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data.
