title: Highly monodisperse rattle-structured nanomaterials with gold nanorod core-mesoporous silica shell as drug delivery vehicles and nanoreactors.
abstract: Rattle-structured nanomaterials composed of a gold nanorod in a mesoporous silica nanocapsule (AuNR@mSiO(2)) were prepared by a novel solution-based consecutive process. The drug-loading properties of the nanomaterial and regrowth control of the core nanoparticles were also studied.
