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…
Valence-free open nanoparticle superlattices
Binay P. Nayak, Zinnia Mallick, Wenjie Wang +7
A cornerstone of advanced materials design is establishing a framework for assembling nanoparticle superstructures with tailored symmetries. A longstanding challenge has been assem…
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…
