Abstract
The potential of multi-segment metallic nanorods in gene delivery system were investigated to achieve the control of size and composition by inorganic synthesis. Au/Ni nanorods were deposited by template synthesis method, which involved electrochemical deposition into a non-conducting membrane with an array of cylindrical pores. The nanorods were then used for the synthesis of a wide range of materials and structures. The unique properties of the nanorods that allow for defined aspect ratios and the addition of magnetic segments were utilized as a probe to determine the effects and inter-relationships of size, magnetism and cell targeting proteins in gene delivery.
