A method for controlled and homogeneous silica coating of low-aspect-ratio CTAB-stabilized gold nanorods has been developed through the combination of the LBL technique and the Stöber method. Hydrophobation of the gold nanoparticles was achieved via surface functionalization with a hydrophobic silane coupling agent.
