Growth and Engineering of High Aspect-Ratio AAO Templates Integrated on Silicon Substrates

Choi S., Daugherty M., Enable IPC Corporation, US

We have developed a CMOS-compatible process for manufacturing nanowires directly on silicon (or other) substrates. This process removes some of the steps for conventional nanowire manufacture. The result are highly-ordered, high aspect-ratio nanowires for use [...]

Piezoelectric Inkjet Print Head Technology for TFT-LCD Panel Fabrication

Chen T., Trident - an ITW company, US

Flat Panel Display (FPD) technologies have been sweeping through the market which includes TVs, desktop monitors, notebook PCs, digital cameras, portable DVD, and so forth . Among them, TFT-LCD is dominating and approaching large size [...]

Novel Approaches for Functional Patterns and Microfluidic Synthesis

Choi K., Bell Labs, US

We describe here functional polymer synthesis for advanced nanotechnology. This includes elastomeric patterns fabricated using photocurable PDMS prepolymers. We also demonstrate MIP (molecularly imprinted polymer) patterns; MIP is produced by “molecular imprinting”, a general protocol [...]

Sonochemical Coating of TiC nanoparticles on expandable polymeric microspheres, Thermal & Mechanical properties of microspheres/epoxy nanocomposites

Rangari V.K., Hassan T.A., Mayo T. Watson Q., Jeelani S., Tuskegee University, US

Summary • Sonochemical method has been developed to coat nanoparticles on expandable polymeric microspheres. • n-Hexane is used as a solvent and proved to be a suitable solvent for sonochemical coating of nanoparticles on these [...]

Densification and Grain Growth During the Sintering of Nanoscale SiC

Bothara M., Park S-J, German R.M., Sudarshan T.S., Radhakrishnan R., Atre S.V., Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Institute, US

Numerous routes have been developed recently for the synthesis of a broad range of ceramic and metal nanoparticles. However, applications for these new materials have lagged behind owing to a limited understanding of processing methods [...]

Electrostatic Printing of CNT Liquid Toners

Detig R., Eberlein D., Finzi M., Electrox corp., US

Using techniques developed from the electrostatics industry and liquid toner techniques from the copier/laser printer industry, we will describe techniques for the patterning and manipulation of carbon nano-tubes. We will also describe a self assembly [...]

Simulation of Virtual Nanoparticle tracking using calculated forces for an Atomic Force Microscope and Optical Tweezers

Dwivedi S.N., Kode S., Ikonomov P.G., Universtiy of Louisiana, Lafayette, US

Nanomanufacturing necessitates manipulation of nanoparticles in order to build functional three dimensional structures. Manipulation of nanoparticles takes place in microenvironments where it is not practical for the user to manually interact with the nanoparticles. So [...]
