Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensitivity of Au nanodot patterns to probe solvation effects in polyelectrolyte brushes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2008 Aug 21:(31):3666-8. doi: 10.1039/b805684f. Epub 2008 Jun 13.

Abstract

We report localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of hexagonal Au nanodot arrays to detect changes in the thickness and conformation of poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride] (PMETAC) brushes.
