In this work, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and nanoclusters (AuNCLs) were prepared by the reduction in diluted solution method, using the amphiphilic copolymer Pluronic F127(PF127) and thiolated Pluronic F127 (PF127-thiol), respectively. The copolymer was functionalized by sterification reaction using thioglycolic acid (TGA). The investigated parameters of synthesis were concentration of the PF127 solution, temperature, as well as, the UV irradiation. The nanosystems were characterized by UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Further, the system potentialities were investigated by a catalized reaction and incorporation of a model molecule (baicalein). Morphologies, sizes, polydispersity, amount of reduced ion as welll as kinetics parameters were depedent on the parameters of synthesis. The yeld of the functionalization reaction was 90%, calculated by 1H NMR. Using the PF127-thiol, the surface plasmonic ressonance band (SPR) was undetected and a strong absorption in the UV region observed, which indicated that nanoparticles smaller than 3 nm were obtained (AuNCLs). Catalitic property of the AuNPs were investigated by reduction of p-nitrophenol, in which the AuNPs synthesised by PF127 were more efficent than the systems obtained by citrate reduction. The encapsulation efficiency of the baicalein were around 90%. In conclusion, the synthesis of AuNPs by PF127 is not only adequate to modulate sizes and morphology but also to provide environmental advantage in comparison to some tradicional methods. In addition, these are promissing systems to biologic applications because of the biocompatibility of PF127.
