The GNR concentration-dependent phase diagram of these nanocomposites shows that the thermal range of this twist grain boundary phase having smectic C* blocks phase increases by 50% for an intermediate composition compared to that for the host binary mixture without nanorods. The inclusion of the nanorods is seen to have substantial effect on the structural and photonic bandgap features of the TGBC* phase. For example, the helical periodidty gets altered in all the three dimensions: while those within the block undergo a huge increase, the one which is orthogonal to the blocks, shrinks. The spacing of the square grid pattern arising normal to the TGB helix direction increases for the nanocomposites getting even doubled for a certain composition, a feature evidenced by optical microscopy as well as optical diffraction. Xray diffraction clearly brings out the feature that the presence of GNR alters the thermal character of the transition between the TGBC* and the cholesteric phase. Quantitative analysis of the data indicates that the system would remain in the vicinity of a possible tricritical point, a behavior having wider ramifications to understand the underlying critical phenomenon. Based on the experimental observations, and capturing the essence of the reported adaptive defect core targeting mechanism we propose a model wherein GNRs get confined in the grain boundary region. This feature offers a potential to have periodic and anisotropic plasmonic structure arising out of the synergetic interactions between the metal nanorod and the twisted grain boundary structure.

	The ongoing rise in the incidences of breast cancer cases has concerned medical and scientific personnel around the world. Adequate treatment of cancer predominantly relies on the pertinent diagnosis of the type of cancer as well as other molecular and cellular details at the initial stage only. Surprisingly, up till now, there is no single, self-reliant imaging modality that helps to systematically find out the anatomical and functional events taking place inside the body. This resulted in the advent of the multimodal imaging concept, which encompasses the integration of complementary imaging modalities by designing multimodal imaging probes. Gold nanorods (GNRs) are extremely popular and effective nanoparticles for multimodal bioimaging due to their unique properties. Researchers have designed varieties of stable and biocompatible GNR-based probes for targeted and nontargeted multimodal imaging of breast cancer. However, there is a lack of investigations on the in vivo fate and the toxicity of GNRs. Thus, their preclinical to clinical translation can be attained by comprehensively determining the in vivo fate and toxicity of GNRs. The review provides details about the GNRs-based nanoprobes fabricated so far for breast cancer imaging, which, by consequent studies, can be taken up to clinical usage.&lt;/p&gt;
