Abstract:
A place exchange reaction between 11-mercaptoundecanoic acids (MUA) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-protected gold nanorods (GNRs) was conducted inside an ionic exchange resin; this modification resulted in functional gold nanorods soluble in both polar and nonpolar organic solvents.
