Surface functionalization of AuNP with IB4. Representative transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images of ‘as-synthesized’ citrate capped AuNP (a) and IB4-AuNP (b). Arrows indicate a corona on AuNP surface (inset), suggestive of IB4 adsorption. Histogram (c) depicting AuNP diameter quantified from 15 non-overlapping TEM micrographs (n = 105 particles).
