Abstract
Two-dimensional organization of water-soluble nanoparticles, by using a hydrogel (agarose gel) surface as a substrate, is described here. Th e nanoparticles can be subsequently transferred onto various solid sur faces, a process promoted by the agarose acting as a ''molecular glue' '. The Figure shows silica nanoparticles transferred to a highly orien ted pyrolytic graphite surface.
