Electrostatic Superlattices beyond 1:1 Stoichiometry

Binay P. Nayak, Prapti Kakkar, Wesley P. Korba +5

Exotic nanoparticle superstructures can be accessed by harnessing nanoparticle softness and charge regulation, features often viewed as obstacles to structural control. Here, we sh…

Electrostatically Assembled Open Square and Checkerboard Superlattices

Binay P. Nayak, Wenjie Wang, Honghu Zhang +4

Programmable assembly of nanoparticles into structures other than hexagonal lattices remains challenging. Assembling an open checkerboard or square lattice is harder to achieve com…

Specific Iron Binding to Natural Sphingomyelin Membrane Induced by Non-Specific Co-Solutes

Wenjie Wang, Honghu Zhang, Binay P. Nayak +1

Hypothesis: Sphingomyelin (SPM), a crucial phospholipid in the myelin sheath, is vital in insulating nerve fibers. We hypothesize that iron ions selectively bind to the phosphatidy…

Effect of Grafting Density on the Two-dimensional Assembly of Nanoparticles

Binay P. Nayak, James Ethan Batey, Hyeong Jin Kim +5

Employing grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR), we demonstrate that films composed of polyethylene glycol (PEG)-grafted silver nanop…

Two-dimensional assembly of gold nanoparticles grafted with charged-end-group polymers

Hyeong Jin Kim, Binay P. Nayak, Honghu Zhang +5

Hypothesis: Introducing charged terminal groups to polymers that graft nanoparticles enables Coulombic control over their assembly by tuning the pH and salinity of aqueous suspensi…
