Directed Self Assembly: a Novel, High Speed Method of Nanocoating Ultra-thin Films and Monolayers of Particles

Powch G.A., Jain A.R., VersuFLEX Technologies LLC, US

A novel, practical fluidic method is presented for coating ultra-thin, ultra-uniform layers and realizing self-assembled monolayers of particles, into nanoscale in atmosphere and room temperature at rates scalable to web processes at >4 m/min. A [...]

Capillary Forces in Micro-Fluidic Self-Assembly

Greiner A., Lienemann J., Korvink J.G., Xiong X., Hanein Y., Böhringer K.F., IMTEK, Albert Ludwig University, DE

Parallel self-assembly in the fluidic phase is a promising alternative technique to conventional pick-and-place assembly. In this work the hydrophobic-hydrophilic material system between binding sites for microparts is simulated with respect to alignment precision. The [...]
