Abstract
The mechanical properties of self-assembled silver nanoparticle (Ag-NP) films at the air-liquid interface are studied using both visible light optics and x-ray scattering techniques. The response of such films to compression is compared with results from previously studied gold nanoparticle (Au-NP) films, showing many similarities, along with significant differences. Possible factors governing the stress response of nanoparticle films are discussed.
