Abstract
Methods for functionalizing a surface of a substrate with nanoparticles are described. In certain embodiments, the method can include attaching a plurality of photoactive linker to nanoparticles to obtain photoactive nanoparticles, wherein each photoactive linker comprises a binding group that attaches to the nanoparticles and a photoactive group; depositing the photoactive nanoparticles to the surface of the substrate, wherein the surface of the substrate comprises reactive groups that are capable of reacting with the photoactive groups; and irradiating the photoactive nanoparticles with radiation to react the photoactive group with the reactive group and to functionalize the surface of the substrate with nanoparticles. In certain embodiments, the method can include attaching a plurality of photoactive linker linkers to a surface of a substrate to obtain a photoactive surface, wherein each photoactive linker comprises a photoactive group and a binding group that attaches to the surface of the substrate; depositing nanoparticles to the photoactive surface, wherein the nanoparticles comprise reactive groups that are capable of reacting with the photoactive groups; and irradiating the photoactive surface with radiation to react the photoactive group with the reactive group to functionalize the surface of the substrate with nanoparticles.
