The polyacrylic acid functionalized polystyrene nanospheres were synthesized and self‐assembled into irregular, densely packed monolayers in non‐aqueous media. The polymer nanoparticles were chemically adhered to substrates. The morphologies of the resulting films were investigated. The impact of the volume fraction of alcohol in the mixed solvents on the particle adsorption and fabrication of nanosphere assembled films was examined.
