Handling nanometer-thick films and nano-objects remains a challenge. We present a unique method to transfer freestanding surfactant bilayers onto solid substrates. Surfactant freestanding films are highly organized but also fragile; therefore it is crucial for applications to be able to deposit them onto solid surfaces. A simple experimental cell for deposition is used to transfer large areas of freestanding films. This process can be applied to different surfactants but requires hydrophobic and atomically flat surfaces. Treatments such as silanization of oxidized surfaces and silicon etching produce the desired substrates. Structural results using X-ray reflectivity and AFM show that the molecular organization of the bilayer is preserved during the transfer. It is an important development in the physical chemistry of thin films since the realization of a solid support for surfactant bilayers opens new opportunities for more sophisticated investigation of film properties and applications. This method is a reliable, cost-effective, large scale and non-specific process to control two-dimensional organization of small objects. Our purpose is to utilize the self-assembling properties of surfactant films for confining and organizing two-dimensional arrays of nano-objects. By finely tuning the interactions between the surfactants walls of the films and the inserted nanoparticles, closely packed and organized monolayers of surfaces reaching hundreds of μm˛ could be prepared with gold nanoparticles and magnetic ferrite particles. The transfer of the films is also a mean to deposit single nanoparticles while preventing their aggregation. This is particularly suited for silicon nanocrystals in order to study their photoluminescent properties or use them as catalyst for carbon nanotubes growth. Several relevant parameters influencing the organization of the nanoparticles will be discussed: the interactions between surfactants and nanoparticles, their bulk concentrations, the thickness before transfer and the surface treatment.
