Capturing by self-assembled block copolymer thin films: transfer printing of metal nanostructures on textured surfaces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method to fabricate metal nanostructures by transfer printing, applicable to textured surfaces, is described. The key is the use of self-assembled polystyrene-block-poly-2-vinylpyridine thin films as binding layers. The plasmonic properties of the obtained metal (Ag) nanostructures showed the potential of this method in the design of novel devices.

Chemically enhancing block copolymers for block-selective synthesis of self-assembled metal oxide nanostructures.
We report chemical modification of self-assembled block copolymer thin films by ultraviolet light that enhances the block-selective affinity of organometallic precursors otherwise lacking preference for either copolymer block. Sequential precursor loading and reaction facilitate formation of zinc oxide, titanium dioxide, and aluminum oxide nanostructures within the polystyrene domains of both l...
متن کاملGenerating suspended single-walled carbon nanotubes across a large surface area via patterning self-assembled catalyst-containing block copolymer thin films.
Using self-assembled block copolymers as templates, catalytically active nanostructures with controlled size and space have been produced. A self-assembled polystyrene-b-polyferrocenylsilane thin film and monolayer of surface micelles of cobalt-complexed polystyrene-b-poly(2-vinylpyridine) are fully compatible with novolac-based conventional photoresists. Combining bottom-up self-assembly of ca...
متن کاملA new strategy to fabricate composite thin films with tunable micro- and nanostructures via self-assembly of block copolymers.
A new and facile strategy to fabricate composite thin films with tunable morphologies via self-assembly of block copolymer molecules at the air/liquid interface is first reported. The morphologies (parallel nanowires and foams) of these freestanding thin films can be tuned by varying the molecular structure or other experimental conditions.
متن کاملMorphology of lamellae-forming block copolymer films between two orthogonal chemically nanopatterned striped surfaces.
The structure of block copolymers results from the interplay between weak intermolecular forces, typically in the order of k(B)T per molecule. This is particularly true for block copolymer thin films in the presence of chemically patterned surfaces, where the different contributions to the total free energy, the interfacial and bulklike terms, have comparable magnitudes. Here, we report on the ...
متن کاملCreating patterned carbon nanotube catalysts through the microcontact printing of block copolymer micellar thin films.
We report a route for synthesizing patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) catalysts through the microcontact printing of iron-loaded poly(styrene-block-acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) micellar solutions onto silicon wafers coated with thin aluminum oxide (Al(2)O(3)) layers. The amphiphilic block copolymer, PS-b-PAA, forms spherical micelles in toluene that can form quasi-hexagonal arrays of spherical PAA dom...
