Titanium dioxide (TiO2)/polyacrylic acid (PAA) (TiO2/PAA) particles were formed by mixing PAA and an acidic solution of TiO2 nanoparticles in dimethylformamide (DMF) followed by heat treatment. TEM and particle analysis showed that the resulting particles had a narrow size distribution. The colloid was very stable and aggregation was not observed over a wide pH range (3-9) or at high salt concentration. The residual carboxylic acid of PAA could be modified via EDC/NHS activation to form an amide bond with a protein. An antibody was attached to the hybrid nanoparticle and specific binding to antigen was monitored by surface plasmon resonance. The results suggest that TiO2/PAA nanoparticles are candidates as the base component of a photocatalytic system with potential for substrate selectivity. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
