Abstract:Gold nanoparticles have shown great potential applications in biomedical diagnosis and therapeutic treatments due to their shape and size‐dependent optical properties. However, densely packed CTAB double layer (surfactant used to prevent nanoparticle aggregation) on the nanorod surfaces present challenges for effective biofunctionalization to setup a nanoparticle‐based platform with high detection sensitivity. In this study, we systematically studied the functionalization of gold nanorods (GNRs) with various b… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
