The highly branched nanostructures of the obtained Au particles show an enhanced SERS effect. Furthermore, the Au nanoflowers exhibit excellent biocompatibility to human bladder cancer cells T-24, which shows their potential in biomedical applications. ? 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.607564 bytesapplication/pdfen-US[SDGs]SDG3Acid molecules; Au particles; Biomedical applications; Branched nanostructures; Chemical reduction; Flower-shaped; Gum arabic; Human bladder cancer; Rapid synthesis; Tailored surfaces; Amino acids; Biocompatibility; Medical applications; Molecules; Nanoflowers; Synthesis (chemical)Rapid synthesis of biocompatible gold nanoflowers with tailored surface textures with the assistance of amino acid molecules.journal article10.1039/C2RA20348K10.1039/c2ra20348k2-s2.0-84861399240http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/257195/1/16.pdf
