Controlled Gold Nanoparticle Placement into Patterned Polydimethylsiloxane Thin Films via Directed Self-Assembly

An economically scalable and reproducible method to assemble nanoparticles (NPs) into ordered arrays with high fidelity remains a fundamental roadblock. Methods like directed self-assembly have shown the highest promise resulting in >85% density of NP-filled prepatterned polymer cavities. This wo...
