Abstract
Mechanisms and kinetic of particle deposition at solid surfaces leading to the formation of self-assembled layers of controlled structure and density were reviewed. In the first part theoretical aspects were briefly discussed, comprising limiting analytical solutions for the linear transport under flow and diffusion. Methods of the deposition kinetics analysis for non-linear regimes affected by surface blocking were also considered. Characteristic monolayer formation times under diffusion and flow for the nanoparticle size range were calculated. In the second part illustrative experimental results obtained for micro- and nanoparticles were discussed. Deposition at planar substrates was analyzed with emphasis focused on the stability of layers and the release kinetics of silver particles. Applicability of the quartz microbalance measurements (QCM) for quantitative studies of nanoparticle deposition kinetic was also discussed. Except for noble metal and polymer particles, representative results for virus deposition at abiotic surfaces were analyzed. Final part of the review was devoted to nanoparticle corona formation at polymer carrier particles investigated by combination of the concentration depletion, AFM, SEM and the in situ electrokinetic method. It is argued that the results obtained for colloid particles can be used as reliable reference systems for interpretation of protein and other bioparticle deposition, confirming the thesis that simple is universal.

Abstract
The adsorption mechanism of small positively charged silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NPs) onto larger polystyrene latex nanoparticles (PSL NPs) forming hybrid particles was studied. CryoTEM showed the morphology of these supraparticles to be raspberry-like. After surface modification of the SiO2 NPs, the optimum pH regime to initiate the formation of nanoraspberries was determined. Thereafter, their size evolution was evaluated by dynamic light scattering for different surface charge densities. Reversibility of nanoraspberry formation was shown by cycling the pH of the mixture to make interparticle forces either attractive or repulsive, while their stability was confirmed experimentally. The number of SiO2 NPs on the PSL NPs as determined with cryoTEM matched the theoretically expected maximum number. Understanding and controlling the relevant parameters, such as size and charge of the individual particles and the Debye length, will pave the way to better control of the formation of nanoraspberries and higher-order assemblies thereof.

Abstract
Sorption of nanoparticles on mineral surfaces has been well recognized for its environmental implication. For certain gold ore deposits, sorption of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) on pyrite may constitute a critical step in the metallogenesis process, yet it has not been adequately investigated. In this work, we synthesized negatively charged, positively charged AuNPs and pyrite respectively, and experimentally studied sorption of AuNPs on pyrite in an anaerobic environment. The effects of AuNPs charge characteristics, pH, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) concentration, and ionic strength were evaluated. For the negatively charged AuNPs, almost no sorption was observed owing to the electrostatic repulsion between the AuNPs and pyrite surface (with a measured isoelectric point of 2.0). In contrast, positively charged AuNPs could be significantly adsorbed on pyrite through electrostatic attraction, with the sorption extent decreasing with the increase of pH (2.2–9.1). However, the adsorption of CTAB from the solution was found to increase with the increase of pH. Furthermore, deliberately added CTAB seemed to inhibit the sorption of AuNPs. Our study not only demonstrates that the electrostatic interaction is the dominant mechanism in the sorption of AuNPs on pristine pyrite, but also reveals the important competitive relation between AuNPs and CTAB in the sorption process.

Abstract
Formation of positively charged gold nanoparticle layers on polystyrene microparticles (PSMs600) was studied using the electrokinetic and the concentration depletion methods based on atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging. Primarily, the dependence of electrophoretic mobility of microparticles on the gold nanoparticle concentration in the suspension was measured. These results were quantitatively interpreted in terms of the three-dimensional electrokinetic model. This allowed to derive a formula for calculating the coverage of nanoparticles under in situ conditions whose validity was confirmed by direct SEM imaging of deposited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Additionally, the maximum coverage of gold nanoparticles for various ionic strengths was determined using a concentration depletion method based on AFM imaging of residual particles deposited on the silica substrate. The maximum coverage increased with ionic strength attaining a value of 0.35 for the ionic strength of 3 × 10-3 M. This effect was attributed to the decreasing range of lateral electrostatic interactions among deposited particles. The electrokinetic properties of the gold nanoparticle layers were also evaluated in pH cycling experiments that confirmed their stability. Beyond significance to basic science, the new data acquired in this work confirm the feasibility of preparing gold nanoparticle layers on polymer microparticles characterized by a controlled structure, coverage, and electrokinetic properties.

Abstract
The deposition of hematite nanoparticles (22nm and 29nm in diameter) on negatively charged polystyrene microspheres (820nm in diameter) was studied by micro-electrophoretic measurements and AFM. The influence of ionic strength, varied between 10-4 and 10-2M, was determined. Initially, the electrophoretic mobility change of microspheres upon the addition of controlled amount of hematite nanoparticles were measured. These dependencies were quantitatively interpreted in terms of the general electrokinetic model. This allowed to determine the coverage of nanoparticles on microspheres under in situ conditions, which increased with ionic strength attaining 0.35 for the ionic strength of 10-2M and 29 in diameter hematite particles. This effect, attributed to the decreasing range of lateral electrostatic repulsion among deposited particles, was accounted for by the random sequential adsorption model. However, the coverages attained for lower ionic strength exceeded the theoretical predictions. This effect was interpreted in terms of an additional electrostatic screening due to polymeric chains present at the microparticle surface. The acid base properties of the hematite monolayers were also acquired by applying thorough micro-electrophoretic measurements. The obtained results confirmed a feasibility of preparing hematite nanoparticle monolayers on polymeric carrier microspheres having well-defined coverage and structure.

Abstract
Nanocarriers with the ability to spatially organize chemically distinct multiple bioactive moieties will have wide combinatory therapeutic and diagnostic (theranostic) applications. We have designed dual-functionalized, 100 nm to 1 μm sized scalable nanocarriers comprising a silica golf ball with amine or quaternary ammonium functional groups located in its pits and hydroxyl groups located on its nonpit surface. These functionalized golf balls selectively captured 10-40 nm charged gold nanoparticles (GNPs) into their pits. The selective capture of GNPs in the golf ball pits is visualized by scanning electron microscopy. ζ potential measurements and analytical modeling indicate that the GNP capture involves its proximity to and the electric charge on the surface of the golf balls. Potential applications of these dual-functionalized carriers include distinct attachment of multiple agents for multifunctional theranostic applications, selective scavenging, and clearance of harmful substances.

Abstract
Composite colloidal structures with multi-functional properties have wide applications in targeted delivery of therapeutics and imaging contrast molecules and high-throughput molecular bio-sensing. We have constructed a multifunctional composite magnetic nanobowl using the bottom-up approach on an asymmetric silica/polystyrene Janus template consisting of a silica shell around a partially exposed polystyrene core. The nanobowl consists of a silica bowl and a gold exterior shell with iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles sandwiched between the silica and gold shells. The nanobowls were characterized by electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, magnetometry, vis-NIR and FTIR spectroscopy. Magnetically vectored transport of these nanobowls was ascertained by time-lapsed imaging of their flow in fluid through a porous hydrogel under a defined magnetic field. These magnetically-responsive nanobowls show distinct surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) imaging capability. The PEGylated magnetically-responsive nanobowls show size-dependent cellular uptake in vitro.

Abstract
Collisions with and attachment to natural colloids (heteroaggregation) is likely to influence significantly the fate, transport, and toxicity of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs). This study investigated heteroaggregation between hematite (α-Fe2O3) colloids and citrate-capped gold nanoparticles (Cit-AuNPs) using a novel approach involving time-resolved dynamic light scattering and parallel experiments designed to quantify nanoparticle attachment and heteroaggregate surface charge. Experiments were performed in low ionic strength synthetic water at environmentally relevant pH in the presence and absence of Suwannee River Natural Organic Matter (SRNOM). In the absence of SRNOM at pH values where Cit-AuNPs and hematite are oppositely charged, attachment efficiencies are high and Cit-AuNPs are capable of destabilizing hematite following an "electrostatic patch" mechanism. Furthermore, maximum observed surface coverages were far below those predicted by geometry alone, a fact predicted by the random sequential adsorption (RSA) model that has significant implications for the estimation of heteroaggregate attachment efficiencies. At pH values where both particles are negative or in the presence of small amounts of SRNOM, attachment was minimal. Calculated attachment efficiencies using the measured surface coverages corroborate these findings. The calculation of attachment efficiencies and the identification of mechanisms governing heteroaggregation represents an important step toward predicting the transport, fate, and toxicity of ENPs in the environment.

Abstract
Fibrinogen (Fb) adsorption on positively charged latex particles (average diameter of 800 nm) was studied using the microelectrophoretic and the concentration depletion methods based on AFM imaging. Monolayers on latex were adsorbed from diluted bulk solutions at pH 7.4 and an ionic strength in the range of 10(-3) to 0.15 M where fibrinogen molecules exhibited an average negative charge. The electrophoretic mobility of the latex after controlled fibrinogen adsorption was systematically measured. A monotonic decrease in the electrophoretic mobility of fibrinogen-covered latex was observed for all ionic strengths. The results of these experiments were interpreted according to the three-dimensional electrokinetic model. It was also determined using the concentration depletion method that fibrinogen adsorption was irreversible and the maximum coverage was equal to 0.6 mg m(-2) for ionic strength 10(-3) M and 1.3 mg m(-2) for ionic strength 0.15 M. The increase of the maximum coverage was confirmed by theoretical modeling based on the random sequential adsorption approach. Paradoxically, the maximum coverage of fibrinogen on positively charged latex particles was more than two times lower than the maximum coverage obtained for negative latex particles (3.2 mg m(-2)) at pH 7.4 and ionic strength of 0.15 M. This was interpreted as a result of the side-on adsorption of fibrinogen molecules with their negatively charged core attached to the positively charged latex surface. The stability and acid base properties of fibrinogen monolayers on latex were also determined in pH cycling experiments where it was observed that there were no irreversible conformational changes in the fibrinogen monolayers. Additionally, the zeta potential of monolayers was more positive than the zeta potential of fibrinogen in the bulk, which proves a heterogeneous charge distribution. These experimental data reveal a new, side-on adsorption mechanism of fibrinogen on positively charged surfaces and confirmed the decisive role of electrostatic interactions in this process.

Abstract
Latex-microgel core-satellite particles were prepared by electrostatic assembly of negatively charged polystyrene latex and positively charged microgels of a poly(N-isopropylmethacrylamide) (pNIPMAM) and poly[2-methacryloyloxy)ethyl] trimethylammonium chloride (pMETAC) copolymer. The number of satellites per core, determined by scanning electron microscopy, varied from 3 to 10 depending on the sizes of the microgel and latex microparticles. The numbers of satellites per core for different size ratios were compared with the predictions for thermodynamically controlled (maximum packing) and kinetically controlled (random sequential adsorption) assembly, and it was shown that the assembly of latex and microgel proceeds through a random sequential adsorption mechanism. The charges of the microgels and latex particles were retained within the assemblies; therefore, the core-satellite particles have well-defined regions of positive and negative charge. These regions were used to direct the adsorption of gold and latex nanoparticles of opposite charge in order to create multicomponent colloids.

Abstract
Hollow/porous nanoparticles, including nanocarriers, nanoshells, and mesoporous materials have applications in catalysis, photonics, biosensing, and delivery of theranostic agents. Using a hierarchical template synthesis scheme, we have synthesized a nanocarrier mimicking a golf ball, consisting of (i) solid silica core with a pitted gold surface and (ii) a hollow/porous gold shell without silica. The template consisted of 100 nm polystyrene beads attached to a larger silica core. Selective gold plating of the core followed by removal of the polystyrene beads produced a golf ball-like nanostructure with 100 nm pits. Dissolution of the silica core produced a hollow/porous golf ball-like nanostructure.
