Abstract

Silica-coated AgI nanoparticles were prepared with a Stöber method, which was performed with 2.3×10-5 M 3- mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane, 11 M water, 0.01 M dimethylamine and 0.01 M tetraethyl orthosilicate in the presence of 5×10-4 M AgI nanoparticles that were prepared from silver Perchlorate and potassium iodide. The particles had an AgI core size of ca. 15 nm and a silica shell thickness of ca. 20 nm. The particle colloid that was concentrated up to an AgI concentration as high as 0.4 M with centrifugation was colloidally stable in saline, and exhibited properties of X-ray absorption and X-ray contrasting comparable to a commercial X-ray contrast agent.
