Herein, we present the formation of gold nanorods (GNRs) on novel gold–poly(methyl methacrylate) (Au–PMMA) nanocomposite substrates with unprecedented growth control through the polymer molecular weight (M w) and gold-salt-to-polymer weight ratio. For the first time, GNRs have been produced by seed-mediated direct growth on surfaces that were pre-coated with polymer-immobilised gold seeds. A Au–PMMA nanocomposite formed by UV photoreduction has been used as the gold seed. The influence of polymer M w and gold concentration on the formation of GNRs has been investigated and discussed. The polymer nanocomposite formed with a lower M w PMMA and 20 wt % gold salt provides a suitable medium for growing well-dispersed GNRs. In this sample, the average dimension of produced GNRs is 200 nm in length with aspect ratios up to 10 and a distribution of GNRs to nanoparticles of nearly 22%. Suitable characterization techniques such as AFM and SEM have been used to support concept of the proposed growth method.

Gold nanorods (Au NRs) have attracted extensive research interest due to their unique optical properties, adjustable aspect ratio, and easy surface modification in the fields of biosensing, bioimaging, and disease diagnosis and detection. In this review, we present a comprehensive review of various methods for preparing gold nanorods including hard template method, electrochemistry method, photochemistry method, seed-mediated growth method, secondary growth method, and amorphous seed method. The unique optical properties of the gold nanorods and its applications in biomedical, detection, catalysis, and information storage will also be discussed in detail.

The laminated composite material is  made of ply which are specically used in automotive, aerospace and military applications due to less in weight and high strength to weight ratio. The role of structural strength is very important in composites, as the material is weak in inherent strength leads to damage of equipment made with the laminated composite. Hence, an accurate understanding of their structural geometrical behavior for residual stresses is required, such as residual stresses with different aspect ratios. In present work, various aspect ratios of laminated composite and its residual stresses are investigated using finite element analysis. The numerical results showed, on the residual stresses, that the effects the change the residual stresses due change of aspect ratio of laminated Graphite/epoxy composite.

High-quality gold nanorods (AuNRs) with a uniform aspect ratio and sizes are crucial for applications in biomedical or sensor industry. AuNRs is implementing Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) as sensing method which is highly dependent on the size, separation of nanoparticles, aspect ratio and the shape of the nanoparticles. Thus, in this process, the shape, surface density and aspect ratio of AuNRs were investigated to be used further as LSPR sensing material. The AuNRs was prepared using Seed Mediated Growth Method (SMGM) and the growth solution of the AuNRs was centrifuged with the speed ranging from 2500 rpm to 5000 rpm to separate the particles shaper prior to deposition as thin film. The XRD result shows the peak at 2θ = 38º which shows the (111) crystal orientation of the AuNRs. There are also two distinct peaks formed at the absorption spectra graph obtained from the UV-Vis result which associated with transverse plasmon peak (t-LSPR) and longitudinal plasmon peak (l-LSPR). The t-LSPR peak is significantly smaller than the l-LSPR and located in the wavelength ranges from 500 nm to 560 nm whereas the l-LSPR of the AuNRs shows a stronger and a higher peak which is located in the wavelength ranges from 700 nm to 780 nm. The morphological analysis using FESEM shows that the higher centrifugation speed separates the AuNRs with higher aspect ratio and higher surface density.

AbstractWe describe a very simple, two-step synthetic method to prepare gold nanorods with extremely high aspect ratios (> 20) and average lengths of more than 1000 nm. The method is based on a seed-mediated growth in presence of the surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide. The length and aspect ratios of the nanorods can be manipulated by varying the surfactant concentration.
