Sodium citrate and polyethylene glycol functionalized gold (Au) nanostructures are synthesized at low temperature by two different chemical routes. HR-TEM analysis confirmed that sodium citrate produces spherical shaped Au nanoparticles (AuNPs) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) functionalized AuNPs have...
