Two techniques for fabricating gold monolayers, which are thin films of nanoparticles, have been devised by scientists at the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Polish Academy (IPC PAS) in Warsaw. One technique is based on self-assembly, whereas the other utilizes the properties of salt solutions that are highly concentrated. Both these techniques assist in developing consistent, positively charged monolayers.
