Citrate-stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were functionalized with a pH-responsive amphiphile, 3-[(2-carboxy-ethyl)-hexadecyl-amino]-propionic acid (C16CA). At pH ∼ 4, the zwitterionic C16CA assembled into lamellar structures due to the protonation of the amine groups of the amphiphile that neutralized the anionic charge of the carboxylate groups. The lamellar supramolecules incorporated the AgNPs into their 3D network and extracted them from water. C16CA supramolecules dissolved into water (at pH > 6) and organic solvents; consequently, the recovered C16CA-AgNPs were redispersed not only to water but also to chloroform and tetrahydrofuran without any additional functionalization. C16CA acted as a pH-responsive stabilizer of AgNPs and formed a solvent-switchable molecular layer such as a bilayered structure in water and densely packed monolayer in chloroform and tetrahydrofuran. Redispersion of the AgNPs was achieved in different solvents by changing the solvent affinity of the adsorbed C16CA molecular layer based on the protonation of the amine groups of the pH-responsive amphiphile. The morphology of redispersed AgNPs did not change during the recovery and redispersion procedure, due to the high steric effect of the network structure of C16CA supramolecules. These observations can lead to a novel solvent-exchange method for nanocrystals without aggregation and loss of nanocrystals, and they enable effective preparations of stimuli-responsive plasmonic nanomaterials.
