30. Evidence that chain formation occurred in solution, asopposed to being caused by solvent evaporation, wasobtained in light-scattering and UV-visible spectroscopyexperiments, as well as in the control experimentsconducted at different solvent evaporation rates and ondifferent substrates.

32. In the control experiments, the time of bond formation wasmarkedly reduced for the self-assembly of cylindrical Aunanorods end-terminated with thiolated PS, which did notrequire specific orientation of the NR during bond formation.
