Rapid template-assisted self-assembly: a practical route to the fast assembly of colloidal particles
JOURNAL OF NANOPARTICLE RESEARCH(2023)
摘要
Simple and quick techniques for assembling nanoparticles in topographically designed Poly(dimethylsiloxane) moulds of nanosized shapes have great potential in many spectroscopic and sensing tools. Close-packed particles pose rich plasmonic resonances, enabling the optical response to be tailored on both the nano- and macroscale. Template-assisted self-assembly (TASA) is a method that creates colloidal aggregates with controlled sizes formed by dewetting aqueous dispersions of NPs across surfaces. We present rapid TASA (rTASA), a modified version with an overall process time of under 10 min, improving speed and user-friendliness. Depending on the array pitch distance and average number of NPs per trap, the transmission through the template drops by between 20 and 80%, enabling them to be detected with even the simplest spectroscopic solutions. This rapid method is useful as a building block to generate self-assembled systems that exhibit exciting optical properties in crucial areas, particularly in building a fast test for size-selective NP detection.
