Interfacial behavior of PAMAM-PCL dendrimers and in situ spontaneous formation of gold nanoparticles at the toluene-water and air-water interfaces: Experimental and theoretical studies

[Display omitted] •The adsorption process at the toluene-water interface depends strongly on the hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance between the PAMAM and PCL chains.•The presence of gold ions in the aqueous phase increased the interfacial activity for the G4LPCL dendrimer.•The formation of gold nanopar...
