Emerging next‐generation soft electronics will require versatile properties functioning under
mechanical compliance, which will involve the use of different types of materials. As a result …

Solvent engineering is a powerful and versatile method to tune colloidal stability. Here, we
link the molecular structure of apolar ligand shells on gold nanoparticles with their colloidal …

We studied the concentration-dependent agglomeration of apolar nanoparticles in different
solvents. Octanethiol-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in evaporating liquid droplets …

We report on the colloidal stability of nanoparticles with alkanethiol shells in apolar solvents.

Hypothesis The dispersion of apolar-ligand-protected nanoparticles (NPs) in alkanes is a
complex process diverging from the “like dissolves like” principle, making its prediction …

Ultrathin gold nanowires are unusual colloidal objects that assemble into bundles with line
contacts between parallel wires. Each molecule in the contact line interacts with many ligand …

We report the results of molecular dynamics simulations of the properties of a pseudo-atom
(united atom) model of dodecane thiol ligated 5-nm diameter gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in …

We investigated composite films of gold nanoparticles (NPs)/liquid crystal (LC) defects as a
model system to understand the key parameters, which allow for an accurate control of NP …

Solvent-induced interactions of nanoparticles in colloidal solutions can substantially affect
their physicochemical and transport properties. Predicting these interactions is challenging …
