Immobilizing Au Nanoparticles with Polymer Single Crystals,Patterning and Asymmetric Functionalization

摘要

Considerable attention has been paid to nanoparticle (NP) research due to their fascinating properties and potential applications in nanotechnology and biotechnology.Achieving ordered NP arrays is one of the major research goals in the field.A number of different methods have been used to fabricate ordered NP structures,including crystallization of functionalized NPs,self-assembly of NPs at the liquid-liquid interface,block copolymer templating,etc.Asymmetrically functionalizing NPs is of particular interest since it could directly lead to controlled patterning of NPs into complex structures for a variety of applications.
