Assembly of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) grafted with thiolated poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-SH) with various molecular weights is reported. Synchrotron-based X-ray surface-sensitive diffraction methods are used to determine the nature of two-dimensional (2D) assemblies at liquid/vapor interfaces, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to monitor the three-dimensional (3D) assemblies in bulk suspensions. We find that assembly can be induced either by the addition of K₂CO₃ or polyacrylic acid (PAA) to the PEG-AgNP aqueous suspensions. The addition of K₂CO₃ induces a 2D hexagonal structure at the liquid/vapor interface and a 3D hexagonal columnar structure in solutions, where the columns consist of tethered PEG-AgNP chains. On the other hand, the addition of PAA leads to the formation of a 2D lamella-like distorted hexagonal sheet at the liquid/vapor interface and a 3D lamellar superstructure formed by stacked 2D sheets in the PEG-AgNP suspension. Effects of the core type of nanoparticles on the assembly can be used to control structures for potential applications in plasmonics and photonics.
