Abstract

We demonstrate a one-step method for synthesizing hybrid siloxane nanowires and metal (gold, silver) core–siloxane shell nanoparticles at room temperature by mixing a metal salt with an octadecylsilane solution. This method avoids the use of pre-synthesized nanoparticles and allows us to tailor the shape of the nanostructures.
