This thesis deals mainly with colloidal anisotropic nanostructures composed of Au nanoparticle and polymer. In the nanocomposites, one side of the Au nanoparticle was encapsulated by polymer; the other side was functionalized with hybrophilic molecule, generating Janus-like morphology. Ligand segreg...
