Abstract
Thermosensitive polymer capped plasmonic nanoparticles are novel thermal nanofluids with potential sensing applications. Previous research efforts have been focused only on monitoring plasmonic resonance peak shifts caused by aggregation as temperature varied. However, to date, no linear relationship between the resonance peak shift and temperature has been established. Here, we systematically investigate how plasmonic resonance peak intensity responds to solution temperature using poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-capped gold nanorods (AuNRs) and nanobipyramids (AuNBPs) under aggregation-free conditions. Our results clearly reveal the linear correlation between longitudinal resonance peak intensi..
