Nanocomposites by Electrostatic Interactions:  1. Impact of Sublayer Quality on the Organization of Functionalized Nanoparticles on Charged Self-Assembled Layers

Bis-benzamidines were studied as linkers for the formation of gold nanoparticle assemblies on planar gold surfaces modified with ω-mercaptohexadecanoic acid. In situ ellipsometry, external reflecti...
