Photonic Curing of Silver Nanoparticle Based Inks Deposited by M3D

West J., Carter M., Smith S., Sears J., South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, US

Photonic curing is uniquely suited to rapidly sinter printed films in an assembly line or roller environment. Previous work has focused on measuring the resistivity of films sintered using photonic curing and comparing those results [...]

Preparation of nanopatterned substrates via Dip-pen Nanolithography for stem cell applications

Oberhansl S., Lagunas A., Martinez E., Jamil H., Samitier J., Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia, ES

Dip-pen Nanolithography is used to fabricate nanopatterned substrates for stem cell experiments. Factors which are known to play a role in stem cell differentiation are immobilized on these substrates. The highly controlled order, in which [...]

Measurement of Figure of Merit for a Single β-Silicon Carbide Nanowire by the Four-Point Three-ω Method

Choi T.Y., Univ. of North Texas, US

The thermoelectric figure of merit (ZT) of a single β-Silicon Carbide (SiC) nanowire (NW) was measured using the four-point three-omega (3-ω) method for the first time. The electrical conductivity (σ), thermal conductivity (κ), and Seebeck [...]

Nanoscale Graphene Lithography Using an Atomic Force Microscope

Kumar K., Yang E.H., Stevens Institute of Technology, US

In this work, we study Atomic Force Microscope local oxidation lithography to precisely fabricate nanometer-scale structures from graphene, a recently discovered material with exceptional electrical properties. We have systematically studied oxidation parameters (electric field, humidity, [...]

Characterization of an ultra high aspect ratio electron beam resist for nano-lithography

Lewis S., Jeanmaire D., Haynes V., Piccirillo L., The University of Manchester, UK

The performance of a new electron beam resist called SM20L-15 for use in electron beam lithography has been investigated. It was found that the clearing dose of this resist was 1025uC/cm2. The result is that [...]

PRINT® Nanoparticle Manufacturing Scaleup for Pharmaceutical Applications

Schorzman D.A., Liquidia Technologies, Inc., US

Nanotechnology research is still in its infancy, and while nanotechnology is widely seen as having huge potential, the pharmaceutical industry remains skeptical that success at the bench scale can successfully be translated into high volume [...]

Hierarchically Branched Gecko Tapes Imprinted Using Porous Alumina Templates

Yee A.H.Y., Lam Y.C., Institute of Materials Research and Engineering, SG

In this work, we show the methodology to fabricate hierarchical nano-structures of various geometrical parameters to mimic closely gecko’s adhesion system. The relevant geometrical parameters investigated are a) the aspect ratio of the fibrils b) [...]
