METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING NANOPARTICLE STRUCTURES USING HYDROPHOBIC OR CHARGED SURFACES

摘要

The invention provides methods for manufacturing nanoparticle structures using surfaces onto which the nonoparticles can aggregate to form nanoparticle structures. The surfaces suitable include gas-liquid interfaces (bubbles), beads, plastics, glasses, oil-water emulsions and films. The nanoparticle structures so obtained have improved Raman signal enhancement an improved radiation absorptivity and emmissivity.
