How Big is a Nanometer?
Which is measured with a nanometer?
1 meter (m): Doorway ~2 meters high
1 millimeter (mm): Thickness of a dime
1 micrometer (m): Size of a bacterium
1 nanometer (nm): Diameter of DNA ~2 nm

Gold vs. Silver
What do you know about gold?
What do you know about silver?

Making Gold and Silver
How big are the particles of gold and silver we will make?
We can get an idea by looking at three properties.
SettlingTyndall effectFiltering

Settling
• Settle out– See particles on bottom– Large particles (more than 1000
nm)
• Remain dispersed– Never see particles on bottom– Smaller particles (less than 1000
nm)– May be clear or cloudy

Tyndall EffectTyndall effect is based on light
scattering when it hits the
particles in the mixture.
Tyndall effect – light scattered by particles
See line of lightParticles larger than 1 nm
No Tyndall effect – light passes without scattering
No lineParticles less than 1 nm

SolutionsParticles in a solution are so small that they do not settle — the movement of molecules is enough to keep them dispersed.
Light passes through these objects without scattering
![Page 9: Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Discovering Mixtures.](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020716/55144df35503462d4e8b4f8f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
ColloidsColloidal particles are so small they do not settle — the movement of molecules is enough to keep them dispersed.
Light scatters when passing through.

SuspensionsParticles in a suspension are large enough that they will settle. Gravity will overcome the movement of molecules.
Light scatters when passing through.

Size Estimate
Use settling and the Tyndall effect to get a size range for the particles of gold and silver.

Get Closer Size Estimate
Filter nanoparticles through a 20 nm filter to see if they will pass through or not.
What would you predict if the particles are larger than 20 nm?
What would you predict if the particles are smaller than 20 nm?

Early Nanotechnologists
Medieval glass artists unknowingly became nanotechnologists when they made a color of stained glass by mixing tiny amounts of gold into hot liquid glass.
The gold nanoparticles in the stained glass interact with light in a way that produces a rich color.

Using Gold Nanoparticles
Gold nanoparticles are currently manufactured for targeted delivery of biomolecules and drugs to selected cells.
Trials are underway using this method to treat cancer cells in mice.
The drug appears to accumulate in the tumor but not in the healthy cells.
