Abstract

Abstract:

In this paper, we study the local surface plasmon resonance effect of gold nanorods in the two-photon polymerization process. As excitation light matches gold nanorods surface plasma resonance wavelength, the surface of gold nanorods has strong local electromagnetic fields which can cause two-photon polymerization. By employing a femtosecond laser, whose wavelength is the same as the gold nanorods longitudinal absorption peak wavelength in the photoresist, polymer/metal nanocomposites have been prepared. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images show that the surface of the gold nanorods covers a polymer layer of 5 nm thickness when the femtosecond laser power is 0.6 W, spot diameter is 1.6 cm, irradiation time is 0.3 s. This study would provide a facile method for the preparation of polymer/metal nanoparticles, which might be applied in the emerging field, such as photonics and nanosensors.

Key words: gold nanorods, femtosecond laser, two-photon polymerization, metal/polymer nanocomposites
