Zwitterionic gold nanorods: low toxicity and high photothermal efficacy for cancer therapyElectronic supplementary information (ESI) available. See DOI: 10.1039/c6bm00918b
Novel "zwitterionic" gold nanorods (Au NRs) were constructed through a facile ligand exchange process between cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-Au NRs and the zwitterionic block polymer {poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosohorylcholine)- b -poly(lipoic methacrylate) (pMPC- b -pLA)}. In vi...
