Stimuli-responsive nanohybrids based on gold nanoparticles coated with poly(acrylic acid) were synthesized. Their intrinsic properties (i.e., zeta potential and hydrodynamic diameter) were easily adjusted through the control of pH. This allows modulating the intensity of the electrophoretic forces exerted by charge patterns on the nanohybrids during the development step in AFM nanoxerography and controlling the directed assembly of nanohybrids onto charged patterns.
