Photoacoustic response optimization of gold nanorods in the near-infrared region
Results in Physics, 2022 Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) combines the advantage of optical and ultrasonic imaging, which has a high signal-to-noise ratio, and spatial resolution. To further improve the performance of PAI, gold nanorods can be utilized as exogenous contrast agents ...

Nanotheranostics, 2021 Gold nanorods (GNRs) show great promise as photothermal therapy agents due to their remarkable ability to convert light into heat. In most cases, gold nanorods are synthesised via a seed-mediated method assisted by surfactants.

Gold nanorods: contrast agents for photoacoustic imaging? [PDF]
SPIE Proceedings, 2007 Gold nanorods are seen as possible contrast agents for photoacoustic imaging since they have strong absorption peaks at near-infrared wavelengths. Also they are easy to conjugate with various proteins. If these particles can be conjugated with cancer affinity proteins then these particles can accumulate specifically at a tumor site.

Facet Control of Gold Nanorods [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2016 While great success has been achieved in fine-tuning the aspect ratios and thereby the plasmon resonances of cylindrical Au nanorods, facet control with atomic level precision on the highly curved nanorod surfaces has long been a significantly more challenging task.

With No Deliberate Speed: The Segregation of Roma Children in Europe [PDF]
, 2013 In this study, by taking the advantage of both inorganic ZnO nanoparticles and the organic material chitosan as a composite seed layer, we have fabricated well-aligned ZnO nanorods on a gold-coated glass substrate using the hydrothermal growth method ...
