Nanorods exhibit a range of unique properties that make them suitable for various applications. These properties include:
- Optical Properties: Due to the phenomenon of localized surface plasmon resonance, metallic nanorods can absorb and scatter light at specific wavelengths. - Electrical Conductivity: Nanorods made from conductive materials can exhibit enhanced electrical properties. - Mechanical Strength: The high aspect ratio of nanorods often leads to improved mechanical strength and flexibility.
