• surfaces result in higher charge interaction in the nanogap, and then in a larger LSPR shift. For the same gap variation, i.e., from 5 nm to 60 nm, the shift of the LSPR for the rectangular arms is twice that observed for cylindrical nanorods. Apart from the plasmon shift amplitudes, the near-field

• charge interaction between the adsorbed drug on the surface of the nanoparticles and the chitosan, resulting in a more rigid structure. In another previous study, it was reported that the new amphiphilic CD derivative PC βCDC6 is suitable to form stable nanoparticles with small particle size [26]. The

• underlying thermodynamic factors are discussed here. The results obtained provide crucial evidence in support of the hypothesis that, during vesicle formation, nanoscopic surfactant molecules, such as MspA, deviate from the principles underlined in classical surface chemistry.

• −1 [24]. Therefore, entangled PDMS molecule chains and dissociated oxygen molecules surround the ZnO nanowires, as illustrated in Figure 5a. The interaction between ZnO and the cross-linked PDMS is believed to be of the van der Waals type. Charge interaction between the two materials is unlikely to
