In this paper we present an AFM force study on interactions between chemically modified surfaces. Surfaces with terminal groups of either NH(2) or COOH were obtained by chemisorption of a silane-based compound (3-amino-propyltriethoxysilane) on silica or a thiol compound (11-mercapto undecanoic acid

Abstract
Gold nanowires, 350 nm in diameter and 3β6 ΞΌm in length, were derivatized by using positively and negatively charged selfβassembled monolayers. The interactions between these particles and surfaces were investigated as a function of their surface chemistry and topography. Electrostatically repulsive sulfonateβsulfonate interactions resulted in mobile particles on the surface, whereas electrostatically attractive interactions between polyamines and sulfonates immobilized the particles. Patterned surfaces were selectively derivatized with particles using these attractive and repulsive interactions. By lithographically defining surface wells that were commensurate with the length of the nanowires, nanowire bundles were assembled in the wells.
