Complex nanoparticle arrangements via wrinkle-assisted self-assembly — •Christoph Hanske, Moritz Tebbe, Christian Kuttner, Munish Chanana, Tobias König, and Andreas Fery — Physical Chemistry II, University of Bayreuth, 95447, Germany

Template-assisted assembly enables the arrangement of colloidal particles into well-defined structures that often demonstrate special optical, biological, or catalytic functionality due to the hierarchical internal organization. A major bottleneck so far is the limited scalability of lithographic template fabrication. As an alternative strategy, we utilize wrinkled elastomer substrates exhibiting periodicities on the micron or submicron scale. The topographic features of such templates allow the arrangement of hydrophilic nanoparticles into regular, close-packed chains, which can further be transferred site-selectively onto flat substrates by wetting controlled printing. This versatile method is applicable for polymeric, inorganic and metallic particles with spherical as well as anisotropic shapes. We discuss the influence of interfacial properties originating from the employed particle and substrate coatings and demonstrate the formation of complex structures on chemically patterned substrates.[1] Further, the realization of macroscopic, gold nanoparticle assemblies is shown.[2, 3] Due to small interparticle distances of few nanometers, strong plasmonic coupling is achieved, which grants access to surfaces with tailored optical properties.
