A Novel Strategy for Fabricating a Strong Nanoparticle Monolayer and Its Enhanced Mechanism

This work presents the preparation of cross-linking Au nanoparticle (NP) monolayer membranes by the thiol exchange reaction and their enhanced mechanical properties. Dithiol molecules were used as a cross-linking mediator to connect the adjacent nanoparticles by replacing the original alkanethiol li...
