ABSTRACT
We report the results of the experimental study of the preparation of hybrid porous polymer material carrying gold nanorods (NRs) on the surface of pores. The material was prepared by utilizing two effects occurring concurrently the photoinitiated polymerization-induced phase separation in the polymer-solvent mixture and the migration of the NRs to the interface between the polymer and the porogen solvent. We show that the enrichment of the interface with the NRs is enhanced at high polymerization rate leading to the rapid phase separation. By contrast, more rapid increase in viscosity achieved at high polymerization rate does not have a significant effect on the segregation of NRs to the surface of pores.
