Generalized Route to Metal Nanoparticles with Liquid Behavior
摘要:
We report the generalized synthesis of metal nanoparticles with liquid-like behavior. We introduce a thiol-containing ionic liquid, N,N-dioctyl-N-(3-mercaptopropyl)-N-methylammonium bromide, which serves as a ligand for platinum, gold, palladium, and rhodium nanoparticles. A rapid reduction using THF-soluble metal salts in the presence of the thiol generates nanoparticles with tunable sizes and size distributions. The as-synthesized nanoparticles are a solid and decompose before melting. Upon exchange of the halide anion for an amphiphilic sulfonate anion, however, the nanoparticles exhibit liquid-like properties at room temperature. The liquids have high metal loadings; for example, the 2.7 nm platinum nanoparticle liquid is 36% platinum by mass.
Cosmetic compositions for caring for and/or making up the human body comprising fluidized-particles are disclosed. Fluidized-particles have a solid core that is modified to exhibit liquid-like properties in the absence of solvent. In particular, the disclosure relates to the use of fluidized-particles in lipsticks, eyeliners, face and body creams, eye shadows, foundations, sun-protection products, deodorants, and shampoos, hair styling and leave-in hair treatments such as gels, mousses, sprays, conditioners, all of which may be in the form of an aqueous gel, lotion, or cream, or cast as a stick or as a disk.
