Abstract

The widely used and versatile polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer (LbL) nanoparticle coating strategy allows for gold nanorods to be transferred from aqueous media into a broad range of polar organic solvents without aggregation. The uniform dispersity and stability of the nanorods in organic solvents allows for uniform incorporation of nanorods into a variety of hydrophobic polymers.
