Yield conically modified

Use of nanorods as labels for electrochemical detection of DNA was first reported by Wang and coworkers [41]. In this work conical indium/gold nanorods, approximately 3 to 5 /xm in length, were synthesized via sequential electrodeposition of Au and indium into alumina membranes. Following synthesis, the alumina template was dissolved in 3 M NaOH yielding free nanorods (Fig. 14.8B). These rods were then modified with thiolated oligonucleotide detection probes, complementary to a portion of the target DNA, via... 

In a thermoplastic, a yield strength of J p = 40 MPa was measured in tension, whereas the stress in a compressive test is = 50 MPa. The conically and parabolically modified yield criteria are to be compared for several load cases.
