文摘

We report a robust one-dimensional (1D) nanoparticle-assembly strategy that uses the self-assembly of nanoparticles with ligand and thermal controls, polyethylene glycol (PEG) with thiol and carboxyl groups, and nanoparticle oligomer and polymer codewetting process to form ultralong and continuous 1D nanochains. The 1D nanochains were assembled with closely packed 1D nanoparticle oligomer building blocks, elongated and buttressed by dynamic 1D PEG templates formed on a hydrophobic surface via anisotropic spinodal dewetting. Using this strategy, nanoparticle-packed 1D nanochains (鈭? nm interparticle spacing) were fabricated with 鈭?0 nm-width and a few to >10 渭m-length (nearly 20 渭m in some cases) from 20 nm gold nanoparticles. Our findings offer insights and open revenues for particle assembly processes and, as given by 鈥榰niversality in colloid aggregation鈥? should be readily applicable to various nanoparticles.
