Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Methods for producing nanoparticle thin films are disclosed. According to one of the methods, a nanoparticle thin film is produced by modifying the surface of nanoparticles to allow the nanoparticles to be charged, controlling an electrostatic attractive force between the charged nanoparticles and a substrate and a repulsive force between the individual nanoparticles by a variation in pH to control the number density of the nanoparticles arranged on the substrate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a nanoparticle thin film, comprising: modifying the surface of nanoparticles to form surface-modified particles; wherein the surface of the nanoparticles are electrically charged by exchanging nonpolar capping molecules on the surface of the nanoparticles for charged materials; dispersing the surface-modified nanoparticles in a buffer solution and removing nanoparticle aggregates therefrom; after the removal of the nanopar…
