Cover Story: Nanoparticle adhesion to polymer substrates can be vulnerable to nano-Newton forces, which may disrupt surface bonds and patterns, reducing the functionality of complex surface modifications. Our study, which tested this using a plasma-derived oxazoline-based film with 68 nm colloidal gold nanoparticles covalently bound in an aqueous solution, has revealed crucial findings. Force microscopy revealed that regular and lateral forces could dislodge surface-bound nanoparticles. Applying a nanometer-thick overcoating significantly improved adhesion and protected the substrate. The testing overcoating thickness from 5 to 20 nm showed that 20 nm provided optimal stability, highlighting the importance of precise overcoating thickness. View this paper
