title: Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensitivity of Au nanodot patterns to probe solvation effects in polyelectrolyte brushes.
abstract: We report localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of hexagonal Au nanodot arrays to detect changes in the thickness and conformation of poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride] (PMETAC) brushes.
