Figure 5.3. The gold salt concentration normalized SPR peaks of (a) 1 wt% F88 and (b) 1<br />

wt% P105 with varying HAuCl 4 .3H 2 O concentration.<br />

The synthesis of gold nanoparticles similar to that for P85 (see Chapter 4) has also been<br />

carried out with block copolymers F88 and P105. These block copolymers vary in their<br />
