Nano Wires / Nano Rods

Gold Nanorods with sizes ranging between objects and micro-particles (e.g. atom) have attracted much attention. These particles with various specialized functions not only deepen our understanding of nature, but also serve as the basis for the development of new advanced technology.

Gold Nanorods have received much attention due to their unique optical and electronic properties which are dependent on their shape, size, and aspect ratio. Au nanrods have been used in biomedical or soler cell applications due to their  outstanding optical properties. Gold nanorods are non toxic and biocompatible.

Gold Nanorods, The small size of the gold nanorods (around 10–100 nm) coupled with the fact that they can easily be functionalized means that these structures are promising as drug-delivery vehicles. Near-infrared laser irradiation-triggered drug release is especially attractive because biological tissue is transparent to light at these wavelengths (around 800–1200 nm) and gold nanorods can easily be made to absorb in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Au Nanorods, The optical properties of metal nanopartricles focusing on gold behavior and the nanorode shape effect at nanoscale. Au nanorods are attractive new nanomaterials. Which have found a wide range of applications in the biomedical field such as photothermal therapy.
