| Abstract
| - Metal, metal oxide, and plastic surfaces were modified with poly(vinylpyridine) using adsorption, spin-coating,and dip-coating techniques and various metal, semiconductor, and dielectric nanoparticles were subsequentlyattached. Prior to the modification, the substrates were treated with glow discharge plasma for cleaning purposesand to introduce surface functional groups that are capable of interaction with the polymer. UV−vis absorptionspectroscopy, atomic force, and electron scanning microscopies were used to characterize polymer layers andlayers of immobilized nanoparticles. The surface modification with poly(vinylpyridine) via adsorption techniqueis suggested as a simple, effective, and highly versatile method for the preparation of single, mixed, andmultilayered assemblies of various nanoparticles on different substrates.
