Ligand Shell Composition-Dependent Effects on the Apparent Hydrophobicity and Film Behavior of Gold Nanoparticles at the Air-Water Interface

Nanoparticles with well-defined interfacial energy and wetting properties are needed for a broad range of applications involving nanoparticle self-assembly including the formation of superlattices, stability of Pickering emulsions, and for the control of nanoparticle interactions with biological mem...

520 |a Nanoparticles with well-defined interfacial energy and wetting properties are needed for a broad range of applications involving nanoparticle self-assembly including the formation of superlattices, stability of Pickering emulsions, and for the control of nanoparticle interactions with biological membranes. Theoretical, simulated, and recent experimental studies have found nanometer-scale chemical heterogeneity to have important effects on hydrophobic interactions. Here we report the study of 4 nm gold nanoparticles with compositionally well-defined mixed ligand shells of hydroxyl-(OH) and methyl-(CH3) terminated alkylthiols as Langmuir films. Compositions ranging from 0-25% hydroxyl were examined and reveal nonmonotonic changes in particle hydrophobicity at the air-water interface. Unlike nanoparticles capped exclusively with a methyl-terminated alkylthiol, extensive particle aggregation is found for ligand shells containing <2% hydroxyl-terminated chains. This aggregation was lessened upon increasing the quantity of OH-terminated chains. Nanoparticles capped with 25% OH yield films of well-separated nanoparticles exhibiting a fluid-phase regime in the surface pressure vs area isotherm. Compression-expansion hysteresis, monolayer collapse, and mean nanoparticle area measurements support the TEM-observed changes in film morphology. Such clear changes in the hydrophobicity of nanoparticles based on very small changes in the ligand shell composition are shown to impact the process of interfacial nanoparticle self-assembly and are an important demonstration of nanoscale wetting with consequences in both materials and biological applications of nanoparticles that require tunable hydrophobicity
