Hollow spiky gold nanoparticles (s-AuNPs) have been synthesized. The s-AuNPs were further encapsulated by diblock copolymer on the whole or partial surface. By comparing partial and full encapsulation of s-AuNPs with encapsulated fused s-AuNPs, surface-enhanced raman scattering (SERS) and surface p...
