This paper reports the synthesis of gold nanorod with controlled aspect ratio prepared by varying the concentration of nanoseed addition into the growth solution via seed mediated growth method. In typical process, the gold nanorod with aspect ratio from ca. 1.7 to 3.1 can be successfully obtained. The nanorod seems to be perfect rod morphology instead of bone-like or tear drop structure. Owing to the simplicity in preparing the gold nanorod, the present approach could be used as potential alternative for producing gold nanorod with special properties for used in the currently existing application.

The effects of the seed reaction conditions on the two-step seed-mediated growth of gold nanorods and the effect of gold and reducing agent content in the growth solution were evaluated. Results indicate that the reaction conditions used to produce the seeds have a significant impact on the aspect ratio of the gold nanorods produced. Increasing the concentration of gold or the reaction temperature in the seed production step results in lower length to diameter (aspect ratio) gold rods. In addition, the amount of prepared seed added to the growth solution impacts the rod aspect ratio, with increasing amounts of seed reducing the aspect ratio. The effects of reducing agent, ascorbic acid (AA), and gold content of the growth solution on the aspect ratio of the produced rods are strongly interrelated. There exists a minimum ascorbic acid to gold concentration below which rods will not form; however, increasing the ratio above this minimum results in shorter rods being formed. Characterization of nanorod growth is performed by UV-vis-NIR spectrophotometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

In this paper, nanofluids were prepared based on gold nanorods in basic fluid, water, by single-stage chemical reduction and in different volume fractions and the used gold nanorods were synthesized by seed-mediated growth method in different dimensional ratios. The properties of the prepared nanoparticles, including crystalline size, aspect ratio, surface properties, nanoparticle purity, shape and morphology of nanostructures were investigated using x-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, FT-IR, and transmitted electron microscopy. The effect of changing parameters of Nano rod dimensions, changes in Nano rod volume fraction in water and also the effect of temperature on the nanofluid thermal conductivity coefficient were investigated using transient hot wire method. The results showed that reducing the aspect ratio, increasing the volume fraction and increasing the temperature increase the thermal conductivity. In fact, results show that an increase in the nanorods aspect ratio with a constant volume fraction of 1:50 of gold in water nanorod and at room temperature leads to a decrease in the thermal conductivity of the nanofluid. Also, increasing the two parameters of volume fraction and temperature significantly increases the thermal conductivity coefficient.

One-dimensional magnetite particles were prepared by a seed-mediated growth method under magnetic field. The amount of seed, seed size, PolyvinylPyrrolidone concentration (PVP) and reaction time have a significant effect on the morphology of the samples. The addition of a small amount of 100nm seeds leads to obtain rod-like particles, while chain-like particles are formed when the seed size is increased to 700 nm. The aspect ratio of the rod is controlled by varying the volume ratio of seed to iron salt. Increasing the reaction time is favorable to the formation of chain-like particles.
