This book covers the synthesis and applications of colloidal gold nanorods including their properties, approaches for various chemical synthesis, and different gold nanorod-based nanocomposites with their properties and application potentials. Furthermore, it covers the surface chemistry and functionalization of gold nanorods for numerous biomedical applications. Various applications of gold nanorods including optical probes, dark filed contrast agents, photothermal therapy agents, and plasmonic photocatalyst are covered, along with the toxicological aspects.

Features:

Covers all aspects of gold nanorods along with selected protocols
Focuses on synthetic chemistry, optical property, and functionalization approach of colloidal gold nanorods
Describes standard synthetic methods and advantages of gold nanorods in biomedical applications
Includes authentic and reproducible experimental procedures
Discusses applications like redox catalysts, catalyst promoters, delivery carriers, solar cell materials, and so forth

This book aims at graduate students and researchers interested in nanotechnology and gold nanoparticles.

About the Author

Nikhil Ranjan Jana is a senior professor at the School of Materials Science, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, India. He earned his undergraduate degree (1987) from Midnapore College, India and his masters (1989) and doctoral degrees (1994) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. Prof. Jana worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of South Carolina, USA (1999-2001) and the University of Arkansas,USA (2003) and as a scientist at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, Singapore (2004-2008). His research group designed colloidal nanobioconjugates for controlling cellular processes and developed nanoprobes/nanodrugs for sub-cellular targeting/imaging and inhibiting amyloid aggregation under intra-/extra-cellular space. His group published 180 peer-reviewed research articles, which have approximately 25,000 citations, in internationally recognized journals.
