New Synthesis of Gold‐ and Silver‐Based Nano‐Tetracycline Composites

A new synthetic methodology of water‐soluble gold and silver nanoparticles (AuNPs@TC and AgNPs@TC), using the antibiotic tetracycline (TC) as co‐reducing and stabilizing agent, is reported. Both colloids exhibit high water stability. The average sizes obtained were 25±10 and 15±5 nm, respectively. B...
