摘要
Ring-a-ring o'rods: Hybrid gold/polymer core-shell nanorods spontaneously organize into ringlike arrays when a drop of their solution is dried on a substrate. The process is highly reproducible and generates thousands of well-defined rings of nanorods in a matter of seconds (see TEM image). Studies revealed that water dro plets, which condense on the surface of nonpolar solvents, template the formation of the rings. (Figure Presented) © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
