Directional wetting on chemically stripe-patterned surfaces

Kooij E.S., Jansen H.P., Zandvliet H.J.W., Univ. Twente, MESA+ Inst. Nanotechnology, NL

The ability to control liquids at surfaces is highly relevant for many application areas, including for example the performance and reliability of inkjet nozzles. Generally, the wettability of solid substrates can be modified both by [...]

Innovative gold nanoparticle patterning and selective metallization

Kooij E.S., Raza M.A., Poelsema B., Zandvliet H.J.W., Univ. of Twente, MESA+ Inst. Nanotechnology, NL

In this contribution we present a novel, simple, low-cost bottom-up method to enable patterned deposition of nanoparticles. Our approach does not require sophisticated equipment nor does it involve harsh chemical procedures. We show that pure [...]
