Polyelectrolytes: Influence on Evaporative Self-Assembly of Particles and Assembly of Multilayers with Polymers, Nanoparticles and Carbon Nanotubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Assembling polyelectrolyte multilayers in a bottom-up approach is reported for polymers, particles, nanoparticles, and carbon nanotubes. Effects of polyelectrolyte multilayers on evaporative self-assembly of particles, which are of interest to a number of applications including photonic crystals, films and substrates, are investigated. Polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings bring multifunctionality to spherical particles and planar films. Studying the construction of polyelectrolyte assemblies is convenient in the planar layout: it is reported here for incorporation of gold and magnetic nanoparticles as well as of carbon nanotubes. Gold nanoparticles concentration is controlled within the films. Potential applications of both spherical structures and planar films are highlighted.

Hierarchically ordered structures enabled by controlled evaporative self-assembly.
Hierarchical structures are common in both nature and technology. In the latter context, controlling the spatial arrangement of components over multiple length scales (i.e., forming hierarchically ordered structures) is highly desirable for many applications, such as lab-on-a-chip devices, integrated circuits, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMSs). [ 1 ] Most hierarchically ordered structu...

متن کاملDetermination of mercury (II) by spectrophotometric method based on self assembly of gold nanoparticles
Due to the binding of the –COO- group with the mercury (II), gold nanoparticlesfunctionalized with glutathione can self-assemble to form a supermolecular network in the HAc-NaAc buffer solution. The aggregation of functionalized gold nanoparticles and mercury (II)caused the shift of maximum absorption peak of the UV-Vis spectrum from 520 nm to 609 nm.Based on this principle, a simple spectropho...
