30. We note that under these pH conditions the carboxyl groups are largely protonated. However, flocculation tests confirmed that both nanoparticle dispersions were stable in the deposition solution for several hours.

39. Negatively charged 60 nm aldehdye/sulfate-modified polystyrene nanoparticles were also tested and yielded similar results.
40. Control studies that attempted to create multiple layers of the same polymeric nanoparticle yielded only single-particle layers, indicating that the deposition mechanism is initiated by an electrostatic attraction and not a hydrophobic interaction.
41. The light source was a 200 W, medium-pressure mercury lamp (Oriel). The beam was collimated, reflected off an air-cooled, dichroic mirror (200-260 nm), and focused by a fused-silica lens.

44. A MultiMode NanoScope IIIa SFM (Digital Instruments) equipped with a recently calibrated 150 μm tube scanner was operated in tapping mode under ambient conditions for all measurements.
45. Optical and fluorescent microscopy images were acquired using an Olympus BX50WI epi fluorescence microscope equipped with a DC-330 3CCD color camera (Dage-MTI) and a mercury light source. All fluorescence images were collected using a 51004v2 filter set (excitation BP: 475-492.5 nm, 545-565 nm; emission BP: 503-533 nm, 582-622 nm (Chroma Technology Corp.)).
