We investigated the release of octadecyl rhodamine B chloride (R-18) loaded onto cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) coated gold nanorods (NR) by pulsed ultrafast laser excitation. R-18 intercalates into the hydrophobic CTAB bilayer on the NR surface and can exchange on and off the NR with free CTAB micelles in solution. We find that laser excitation accelerates the rate of both R-18 release from the NR and R-18 binding to the NR with increasing fluence. However, at laser fluences >220 mu J/cm(2) thermal degradation of the R-18 dominates. We also find that the concentration of CTAB, particularly around the critical micelle concentration, strongly influences the release and binding rates.
