Cationic nanorods can be efficiently sequestered into cationic, neutral and anionic polyacrylamide microgels, with a loading capacity almost independent of the charge of the microgels. These results indicate that electrostatic forces do not dominate interactions between the nanorods and microgels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
