Liquid crystalline assemblies of ordered gold nanorods
(2002) In Journal of Materials Chemistry 12(10). p.2909-2912- Abstract
Gold nanorods have been prepared in aqueous solution using a seed-mediated growth approach in the presence of surfactant. We observe the formation of liquid crystalline phases in concentrated solutions of high aspect ratio (13-18) gold nanorods by polarizing microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and small angle x-ray scattering. These phases, which are stable up to 200°C, exhibit concentration-dependent orientational order.
