Gold Nanowires from Nanorods

Langmuir, 2020
Gold nanowires (AuNWs) possess strong potential application in micro- and nanoelectronics as well as in plasmonic waveguides because of their low electrical resistance. However, the synthesis of pure solvent-dispersible AuNWs with full control over their length still remains a challenge.

Phospholipid−Gold Nanorod Composites

ACS Nano, 2009
Phospholipids comprise an enormous range of chemical structures that provide much of the functionality associated with cellular membranes. We have developed a simple method for incorporating phospholipids onto the surfaces of anisotropic gold nanorods as a stepping-stone for creating responsive and multifunctional nanocomposites.

Surfactant (Bi)Layers on Gold Nanorods

Langmuir, 2011
Gold nanorods in aqueous solution are generally surrounded by surfactants or capping agents. This is crucial for anisotropic growth during synthesis and for their final stability in solution. When CTAB is used, a bilayer has been evidenced from analytical methods even though no direct morphological characterization of the precise thickness and ...
