Description

The elastic modulus of an ultrathin nanoparticle (NP) monolayer film is tuned by modulating the binding strength between the NPs on a molecular level. NP monolayer films constructed by crosslinking NPs of different binding affinities are fabricated at oil/water interfaces. By inducing buckling patterns on these films, the correlation between the binding affinity of the NPs and the elastic modulus is investigated.
