Pluronic triblock copolymer encapsulated gold nanorods as biocompatible localized plasmon resonance-enhanced scattering probes for dark-field imaging of cancer cells
Gold nanorods (GNR) are synthesized using cetylmethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactants which function as structure-directing agents. However, CTAB forms a tightly bound cationic bilayer on GNR surface with the cationic trimethylammonium head group exposed to the aqueous media, which is known to be...
