We present a novel process of immobilization of gold nanorods (GNRs) on a glass surface. We demonstrate that by exploiting monolayer protection of the GNRs, their unusual optical properties can be completely preserved. UV–visible spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy analysis are used to reveal the optical and morphological properties of monolayer protected immobilized lipophilic GNRs, and molecular dynamics simulations are used to elucidate their surface molecule arrangements.

Abstract
We present a novel process of immobilization of gold nanorods (GNRs) on a glass surface. We demonstrate that by exploiting monolayer protection of the GNRs, their unusual optical properties can be completely preserved. UV–visible spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy analysis are used to reveal the optical and morphological properties of monolayer protected immobilized lipophilic GNRs, and molecular dynamics simulations are used to elucidate their surface molecule arrangements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
