Abstract:
We demonstrated a versatile approach to obtain layered nanoparticle sheets with in-plane hexagonal order and 3-D ordered arrays of single nanoparticle chains in thin films upon blending nanoparticles with block copolymer (BCP)-based supramolecules. Basic understanding on the thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the assembly process paved a path to manipulate these assemblies to meet demands in nanoparticle-based device fabrication and understand structure-property correlations.
