Schematic illustration of the self-assembly of carbon nanotubes (CNT) into a CNT ring (CNTR) and further growth of redox-active poly(4-vinylphenol) (PvPH) brushes by a surface-initiated atom-transfer radical-polymerization (SI-ATRP) method to reduce Au3+ to Au0 and to coat gold nanoparticles onto the CNTR.
