A simple template-based synthesis of three-component nanorods with flexible central sections is discussed. These nanorods become flexible by dissolving their central silver sections in dilute hydrogen peroxide, to leave behind a flexible yet robust residue. It is also shown that the flexible region can be reinforced by adding a polymer additive to the plating mixture.
