pH-Sensitive Optical Nanocomposites Using Polymer-Coated Gold Nanorods

Kavli Affiliate: Xingde Li | Authors: Yongping Chen and Xingde Li | Summary: This study investigates the synthesis of pH-responsive, reversible nanocomposites comprising polystyrene sulfonate (PSS)-coated gold nanorods and poly(allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH)-coated gold nanorods, along with their optical properties. We observed a pH-dependent swelling/shrinking of the nanocomposites and a dramatic red-shift (~ 60 nm) of […]
