Abstract
⺠Au nanoparticles/PVA mixtures self assemble and form different patterns. ⺠Au particle size has an effect of disintegration of PVA molecules. ⺠Patterns formed are duly reproduced using Monte Carlo simulations. ⺠Pattern formation are explained by on spinodal dewetting or fingering instability mechanisms.
