Properties and emerging applications of self-assembled structures made from inorganic nanoparticles. (2010, background): “Assembly is governed by the balance of attractive forces (such as covalent or hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ligands, depletion forces or dipole–dipole interactions) and repulsive forces (such as steric forces and electrostatic repulsion between ligands of like”
Adhesive particulate flow: The discrete-element method and its application in energy and environmental engineering (2011, background): “In particular, there needs to be improved force potential models for nanoscale particles with diameters on the order of the adhesive bond length scale [315].”
Nonadditivity of nanoparticle interactions (2015, methodology): “Hydrogen bonding, capillary action, and other forces that may contribute to self-organization of NPs (1, 11, 13, 62) can be included with this method as well.”
Hairy nanoparticle assemblies as one-component functional polymer nanocomposites: opportunities and challenges (2013, background): “In the absence of external stimuli such as magnetic and electrostatic fields, assemblies of HNPs can be held together in three ways; dispersion (van der Waals) interactions at the outer surface of the corona, chemical interactions between functional groups at the outer surface of the corona, and phy”
