Self-assembled plasmonic vesicles of amphiphilic gold nanocrystals for traceable drug delivery

Research in this thesis developed a new class of plasmonic vesicular nanostructures assembled from amphiphilic gold nanocrystals (nanoparticles and nanorods) coated with mixed hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymer brushes. The integration of gold nanocrystals with two types of chemically distinct poly...
