Abstract
Stratified films offer high performance and multifunctionality, yet achieving fully stratified films remains a challenge. The layer-by-layer method, involving the sequential deposition of each layer, has been commonly utilized for stratified film fabrication. However, this approach is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to leaving defects within the film. Alternatively, the self-stratification process exploiting a drying binary colloidal mixture is intensively developed recently, but it relies on strict operating conditions, typically yielding a heterogeneous interlayer. In this study, an active interfacial stratification process for creating completely stratified nanoparticle (NP) films is introduced. The technique leverages NPs with varying interfacial activity at the air-water interface. With the help of depletion pressure, the lateral compression of NP mixtures at the interface induces individual desorption of less interfacial active NPs into the subphase, while more interfacial active NPs remain at the interface. This simple compression leads to nearly perfect stratified NP films with controllability, universality, and scalability. Combined with a solvent annealing process, the active stratification process enables the fabrication of stratified films comprising a polymeric layer atop a NP layer. This work provides insightful implications for designing drug encapsulation and controlled release, as well as manufacturing transparent and flexible electrodes.

Abstract
The rapid progress in flexible electronic devices has necessitated continual research into nanomaterials, structural design, and fabrication processes. One-dimensional nanowires, characterized by their distinct structures and exceptional properties, are considered essential components for various flexible electronic devices. Considerable attention has been directed toward the assembly of nanowires, which presents significant advantages. Printing and coating techniques can be used to assemble nanowires in a relatively simple, efficient, and cost-competitive manner and exhibit potential for scale-up production in the foreseeable future. This review aims to provide an overview of nanowire assembly using printing and coating techniques, such as bar coating, spray coating, dip coating, blade coating, 3D printing, and so forth. The application of assembled nanowires in flexible electronic devices is subsequently discussed. Finally, further discussion is presented on the potential and challenges of flexible electronic devices based on assembled nanowires via printing and coating.

Abstract
Grazing incidence wide angle X-ray scattering measurements on aligned titanium oxide nanowires displaying anisotropic optical-electronic properties are carried out. Elemental and thermal analyses provide a chemical composition corresponding to H2Ti3O7·nH2O with n ≈ 1 while the crystallographic data indicate a monoclinic cell with a lamellar substructure. Cell parameters are close to those of H2Ti3O7 notwithstanding a doubling of the lattice in the layer plane. A comparison of the band gap energy values and the electronic transition modes between the two polymorphs displays differences that could be ascribed to the structural variation.

Abstract
The development of nanoscale composites with hierarchical architecture and complex anisotropies enables the fabrication of new classes of devices. Stretchable strain sensors have been developed in the past for applications in various fields such as wearable electronics and soft robotics, yet the sensing capacities of most of these sensors are independent of the direction of deformation. In the present work, we report on the preparation of a direction-sensitive strain sensor using the anisotropic optical properties of a monolayer of oriented plasmonic 1D nano-objects. Grazing incidence spraying (GIS) is used for depositing a monolayer of in-plane aligned silver nanowires with a controlled density on a deformable and transparent substrate. Using the selective excitation of transverse and longitudinal localized plasmon resonance modes of silver nanowires by polarized UV-visible-NIR spectroscopy, we show that the macroscopic anisotropic properties of the monolayer upon stretching are highly dependent on the stretching direction and light polarization. Measuring the polarized optical properties of the anisotropic thin films upon stretching thus allow for retrieving both the local strain and the direction of the deformation using a simple model.

Abstract
The optical properties of chiral plasmonic metasurfaces depend strongly on their architecture, in particular the orientation and spacing between the individual building blocks assembled into large arrays. However, methods to obtain chiral metamaterials with fully tunable chiroptical properties in the UV, visible, and near-infrared range are scarce. Here, we show that the chiroptical properties of silver nanowires assembled in helical nanostructures by grazing incidence spraying and Layer-by-Layer assembly can be finely tuned over a broad wavelength range using simple design principles. The angle between the oriented nanowire layers controls the intensity of the circular dichroism, reaching ellipticity values higher than 13° and g-factor values up to 1.6, while the shape of the circular dichroism spectra depends strongly on the spacing between the layers which can be tuned at the nanometer scale. The structure-dependent optical properties of the assembly are successfully modeled using a transfer matrix approach.

Abstract
Chirality is found at all length scales in nature, and chiral metasurfaces have recently attracted attention due to their exceptional optical properties and their potential applications. Most of these metasurfaces are fabricated by top-down methods or bottom-up approaches that cannot be tuned in terms of structure and composition. By combining grazing incidence spraying of plasmonic nanowires and nanorods and Layer-by-Layer assembly, we show that nonchiral 1D nano-objects can be assembled into scalable chiral Bouligand nanostructures whose mesoscale anisotropy is controlled with simple macroscopic tools. Such multilayer helical assemblies of linearly oriented nanowires and nanorods display very high circular dichroism up to 13 000 mdeg and giant dissymmetry factors up to g ≈ 0.30 over the entire visible and near-infrared range. The chiroptical properties of the chiral multilayer stack are successfully modeled using a transfer matrix formalism based on the experimentally determined properties of each individual layer. The proposed approach can be extended to much more elaborate architectures and gives access to template-free and enantiomerically pure nanocomposites whose structure can be finely tuned through simple design principles.

Abstract
Thin deposits of aligned semiconducting titanium oxide and of zinc oxide nanowires are prepared by grazing incidence spraying on transparent substrates. By measuring the transmittance of linearly polarized light of these anisotropic assemblies as compared to that of randomly oriented nanowires and of spherical nanoparticles, we find that titanium oxide nanowires exhibit an orientation-dependent variation of the apparent optical band gap energy at room temperature (>100 meV), depending on the direction of the polarization of the light with respect to the direction of alignment of the nanowires.

Abstract
Wooden take-off board is easy to crack, deform, discolor, and decay when it is used outdoors, which not only increases maintenance costs but also reduces its service life. Multifunctional coatings with UV-resistant, water-repellent, and flame-retardant properties were successfully obtained on the surface of a wooden take-off board substrate by spray-assisted layer-by-layer self-assembly. The coatings consisted of positively-charged chitosan, Al (OH)3, and negatively-charged sodium phytate through electrostatic adsorption several times. The treated wood exhibited high UV resistance, and the color remained constant after 720 hours of ultraviolet irradiation. The wettability of the wood surface after treatment became superhydrophobic, with initial static contact angles as high as 140°. In addition, limiting oxygen index and air exposure combustion tests were used to verify that chitosan, sodium phytate, and aluminum hydroxide could synergistically confer significant fire resistance to modified wood.

Abstract
Chiral materials appear as excellent candidates to control and manipulate the polarization of light in optical devices. In nanophotonics, the self-assembly of colloidal plasmonic nanoparticles gives rise to strong resonances in the visible range, and when such organizations are chiral, a strong chiroplasmonic effect can be observed. In the present work, we describe the optical properties of chiral artificial nanophotonic materials, Goldhelices, which are hierarchically organized by grazing incidence spraying. These Goldhelices are made by plasmonic nanoparticles (gold) grafted onto helical templates made from silica nanohelices. A comparison of oriented versus non-oriented surfaces has been performed by Mueller matrix polarimetry, showing the importance of the organization of the Goldhelices regarding their interaction with light. Moreover, mono- versus multilayer photonic films are created, and the measured optical properties are discussed and compared to simulations.

Abstract
A new class of solvent free, lyotropic liquid crystal nanocomposites based on gold nanorods (AuNRs) with high nanorod content is reported. Application of shear results in switchable, highly ordered alignment of the nanorods over several centimeters with excellent storage stability for months. For the synthesis, AuNRs are surface functionalized with a charged, covalently tethered corona, which induces fluid-like properties. This honey-like material can be deposited on a substrate and a high orientational order parameter of 0.72 is achieved using a simple shearing protocol. Switching shearing direction results in realignment of the AuNRs. For a film containing 75 wt% of AuNRs the alignment persists for several months. In addition to the lyotropic liquid crystal characteristics, the AuNRs films also exhibit anisotropic electrical conductivity with an order of magnitude difference between the conductivities in direction parallel and perpendicular to the alignment of the AuNRs.

Abstract
Gold nanorods (AuNRs) with conductive polymer shells are interesting colloidal building blocks for electronics. Hybrid particles with AuNR cores and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) or polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) shells were prepared as stable aqueous dispersions. Film formation during the drying of such dispersions is known to affect the electric conductivity of the material. We observed the mechanisms of drying in thin, spray-coated films with grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). A sparse, uniform monolayer formed because the anisotropic shape of the AuNR inhibited "coffee-ring" effects. We used generalized two-dimensional correlation (2DC) spectroscopy to analyze the GISAXS data and to decipher the microscopic structure formation of the film during drying. Four major scattering peaks were attributed to porous PEDOT, PSS, Au, and the substrate layer. Their time-dependent intensity indicated the sequence of film formation: AuNRs with mobile shells arranged on the substrate first, and PEDOT and then PSS dried sequentially around the gold core. We discuss the final phase-separation of PEDOT:PSS on the hybrid rods.

Abstract
The functional properties of nanoparticle thin films depend strongly on the arrangement of the nanoparticles within the material. In particular, anisotropic optoelectronic properties can be achieved through the aligned assembly of 1D nanomaterials such as silver nanowires (AgNWs). However, the control of the hierarchical organization of these nanoscale building blocks across multiple length scales and over large areas is still a challenge. Here, we show that the oriented deposition of AgNWs using grazing incidence spraying of the nano-object suspensions on a substrate comprising parallel surface wrinkles readily produces highly oriented monolayer thin films on macroscopic areas (>5 × 5 mm2). The use of textured substrates enhances the degree of ordering as compared to flat ones and increases the area over which AgNWs are oriented. The resulting microscopic linear arrangement of AgNWs evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) reflects in a pronounced macroscopic optical anisotropy measured by conventional polarized UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy. The enhanced ordering obtained when spraying is done in the same direction as the wrinkles makes this approach more robust against small rotational offsets during preparation. On the contrary, the templating effect of the wrinkle topography can even dominate the shear-driven alignment when spraying is performed perpendicular to the wrinkles: the concomitant but opposing influence of topographic confinement (alignment along the wrinkles) and of spray-induced shear forces (orientation along the spraying direction) lead to films in which the predominant orientation of AgNWs gradually changes from one direction to its perpendicular one over the same substrate in a single processing step. This demonstrates that exploiting the subtle balance between shear forces and substrate-nanowire interactions mediated by wrinkles offers a new way to control the self-assembly of nanoparticles into more complex patterns.

Abstract
Hierarchical structures lend strength to natural fibers made of soft nanoscale building blocks. Intermolecular interactions connect the components at different levels of hierarchy, distribute stresses, and guarantee structural integrity under load. Here, we show that synthetic ultrathin gold nanowires with interacting ligand shells can be spun into biomimetic, free-standing microfibers. A solution spinning process first aligns the wires, then lets their ligand shells interact, and finally converts them into a hierarchical superstructure. The resulting fiber contained 80 vol % organic ligand but was strong enough to be removed from the solution, dried, and mechanically tested. Fiber strength depended on the wire monomer alignment. Shear in the extrusion nozzle was systematically changed to obtain process-structure-property relations. The degree of nanowire alignment changed breaking stresses by a factor of 1.25 and the elongation at break by a factor of 2.75. Plasma annealing of the fiber to form a solid metal shell decreased the breaking stress by 65%.

Abstract
The present article focuses on the build-up and the properties of oriented silver nanowire monolayer films and Layer-by-Layer assembled multilayer films. We describe the template-free oriented spray-assisted assembly of silver nanowires at solid/air-interfaces using Grazing Incidence Spraying, a simple and versatile approach that allows the formation of highly oriented thin films with a tunable density and in-plane orientation. Depending on the spraying conditions the nematic order parameter, which describes the angular spread of misaligned nanowires, can be as high as 0.98 (a value of 1.00 corresponding to a perfectly parallel alignment). The combination with the Layer-by-Layer assembly allows building multilayer thin films possessing in-plane anisotropy. In order to demonstrate that the local alignment does not cancel out on the macroscopic scale but leads to direction-dependent properties, we use linearly polarized UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy to probe the selective excitation of the transverse and longitudinal localized plasmon resonances of the nanowires. The polarization efficiency of the thin films increases strongly with the in-plane density, the degree of orientation, and the number of silver nanowire layers. Multilayer films containing 4 layers of nanowires oriented in the same direction reach a polarization efficiency of up to 97% in the near-infrared region.
