Measurement of DPN-Ink Viscosity using an AFM Cantilever

Biswas S., Hirtz M., Lenhert S., Fuchs H., Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, DE

The Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN) process uses a chemically coated scanning probe tip (the “pen”) to directly deposit a material (“ink”) with nanometer precision onto a substrate. Several experimental parameters have been observed to influence the [...]

Functional lipid nanostructures fabricated by dip-pen nanolithography

Lenhert S., Florida State University, US

Combining the advantages of the structural, chemical, and lyotropic properties of membrane lipids with the nanostructuring capabilities of dip-pen nanolithograpy (DPN), makes possible creation of semisynthetic functional lipid nanostructures. Two examples of critical dimensions that [...]

Lipid Dip-Pen Nanolithography for Functional Biomimetic Membrane Systems

Lenhert S., Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe GmbH, DE

Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN) is uniquely well suited for the integration of multiple materials (or inks) with both high resolution and high throughput. Phospholipid-based inks are particularly well suited for this purpose for several reasons. [...]
