Localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensitivity of Au nanodot patterns to probe solvation effects in polyelectrolyte brushes.
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.
