Deducing size and shape of Gold Nanorods in solution from Depolarized Dynamic Light Scattering data
To further our understanding of light scattering by a solution of anisotropic, hard‐to‐image, soft particles, such polypeptide micelles or polymeric microgels, a coupled approach of depolarized dynamic light scattering characterization and SEM imaging of anisotropic, easy‐to‐image, and inorganic gold nanoparticles will be undertaken. Commercial gold nanoparticles: nanospheres and nanorods of various aspect ratios will be used.
