Spinning Fibers Produce Aligned Nanorods

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Aug. 22, 2011 — A new way to align masses of gold nanorods could aid the development of potent biomedical imaging technologies. Aligning gold nanorods is important because the way they respond to light depends on the direction in which the particles are pointed. To control the optical response of the nanorods, all of the nanorods should be readily aligned. Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed a simple, scalable way to align gold nanorods using electrospun polymer “nano-/microfibers.” Electrospinning is a way of producing fibers, with a liquid polymer being...Read full article
