Abstract
An improvement in the previously reported seed-mediated chemical synthesis of gold nanorods (GNRs) is reported. Gold nanoparticles were prepared by reducing gold salt with a polysaccharide, chitosan, in the presence of tripolyphosphate (TPP). The obtained gold nanoparticles were characterized with UV-vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The study shows that TPP plays an important role in the formation of GNRs.
