Self-assembly and manipulation of nanorod arrays through liquid crystal functionalization

Self-assembly of nanorods (NRs) enhanced by functionalization with liquid crystals (LC) ligands has been demonstrated. First, CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) coated gold NRs were prepared in water through a modified one-step seed growth process. The hydrophilic GNRs were then converted into h...
