Abstract

Nanoparticles, as building blocks, are important for the development of advanced, functional composite materials. Recent developments have shown that self-assembly of nanoparticles is a promising technique for the fabrication of complicate nanostructured materials. Self assembly of the nanoparticles into ordered structures on a substrate can be achieved through chemical treatment of the particle and/or substrate surface. The assembled nanoparticles can have a dramatic effect on the physical properties of the composite. A μCP technique has been employed to form a SAM of bifunctional silane (APTMS) in the region of contact. The stamps for the μCP are prepared by polymerization of polydimethysiloxane (PDMS) on a flat surface. Glass substrates have been used for optical absorption measurements. Oxide or metallic particles have been assembled on the patterned surface after a surface treatment. The self-assembled layer was subsequently treated with bifunctional molecules and multilayers of the same material or composites have been thus obtained.
