The unique electronic, magnetic, and optical properties of nanoparticles (NPs) make them useful building blocks that can be applied to catalysis, sensing, magnetic recording, optics, and electronics. This talk has focused on developing new strategies for mono- and multilayered-NP deposition on surfaces, increasing the stability of NP-assembles upon various surfaces for practical use of NP-based devices using dithiocarbamate chemistry. Such patterning methodologies have allowed me to use site-directed NP immobilization in applications as diverse as microcontact printing, nanomolding in capillaries, nanoimprint lithography, and photolithography. Also, the strategies for NP assemblies have applied to develop a simple and reliable one-step technique to form robust dendrimer-NP nanocomposites. These composites are able to encapsulate and release various therapeutics, providing controllable sustained release and to separate small molecules and biomacromolecules. |
