(a) Experimentally obtained normalized fluctuation (〈ΔXi2〉/〈x02〉) versus volumetric deformation factor (λ3) are evaluated with the pseudo Affine (κ = 100) and Phantom (κ = 0) models at the selected ϕ = 3 and 10. The degree of interconnection is diversified by controlling the amount of binary thiol end-capped functional PEGs (a fixed Mp = 10000) to the AuNP by ×5, ×10 and ×20. (b) Collective behaviors of AuNPs in the nanocomposites obtained by XN image. The degree of connectivity is controlled by ×5, ×10 and ×20 at a fixed f = 20. The scale bar is 10 nm The images show bottom-up line pattern formation. |
