Description
(Au Nanorod Core)@(Mesostructured SiO2 Shell) Nanostructures
NanoSeedz™ provides gold nanorods coated with mesostructured silica. The mesostructured silica is templated by cetyltrimethylammonium bromide molecules. These silica-coated gold nanorods are stable and ready for surface modification. The average length and diameter of the gold nanorod cores can be varied.

Part # | Diameter (nm) | Length (nm) | Aspect ratio | TSPW (nm) | LSPW (nm) | Shell thickness (nm) | Volume (mL) | OD at LSPW per cm | Price (USD) |
SI-NR-808-50 | 20 ± 1 | 78 ± 4 | 3.9 | 514 | 808 | 32 | 10 | 5 | 245 |
SI-NR-808-250 | 20 ± 1 | 78 ± 4 | 3.9 | 514 | 808 | 32 | 10 | 25 | 645 |
The meanings of the parameters in the table are as follows. Diameter: average diameter of the gold nanorod core. Length: average length of the gold nanorod core. Aspect ratio: average aspect ratio of the gold nanorod core. TSPW: transverse surface plasmon wavelength of the gold nanorod cores. LSPW: longitudinal surface plasmon wavelength of the gold nanorod cores. Shell thickness: average shell thickness, which is measured at the side of the gold nanorod. OD: optical density per cm optical path length.
The product given in the table uses gold nanorods with their LSPW at 808 nm as one example. After the coating of mesostructured silica, the TSPW and LSPW will be changed slightly. In addition, NanoSeedz™ also provides products of differently sized gold nanorods that are coated with mesostructured silica. Please contact me for the product information.
