Abstract
The reduction of copper(II) ions in an aqueous dispersion of positively charged liposomes results in the formation of stable sols of a complex of copper nanoparticles with the surface of liposomes. The mean size (7 nm) and the narrow size distribution of metal nanoparticles are similar to those observed in the case of metal sol formation in polymer solutions. The labile character of bonds between nanoparticles and liposomes makes the latter able to compete with a linear polymer (poly-N-vinylpyrrolidone) in binding to nanoparticles. This ability is manifested in the independence of an almost even distribution of nanoparticles between these competitors from the sol preparation mode in a system including both poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) macromolecules and liposomes. The evenness of the distribution indicates an approximately identical stability of complexes of copper nanoparticles with both competitors. The replacement of liposomes with poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) macromolecules in the protective shields of nanoparticles is accompanied by the detachment of the nanoparticles from the surface, thereby allowing the measurement of their size and size distribution in the case where such measurements are impossible because of a high density of nanoparticles on the liposome surface.
