A cure for hydrophobia : Monodisperse semiconductor nanorods are synthesized using nitrates as precursors. The surface modification of these hydrophobic nanocrystals is accomplished through encapsulation with a carboxylic acid enriched polymer (see TEM images), which leads to hydrophilic, bioconjugatable nanospheres for use in multicolor biolabeling applications.
