Rapid localized deactivation of self-assembled monolayers by propagation-controlled laser-induced plasma and its application to self-patterning of electronics and biosensors

Functional Nanomaterials on 2D Surfaces and in 3D Nanocomposite Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications

“…After SAM created on the glass slide, the glass slide was further modified with AgNPs and a protein solution to obtain a self‐patterned Ag electrode and a self‐patterned protein arrangement. The resulting biosensor was proven to be sensitive, rapid and cost‐effective …”

Writing chemical patterns using electrospun fibers as nanoscale inkpots for directed assembly of colloidal nanocrystals

“…20,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Among these, chemical patterning, in particular, shows great promise with robust and controllable substrate-particle interaction, and applicability to a range of different sizes and types of particles. To fabricate the patterns, a variety of techniques based on electron-beams, [36][37][38] scanning probes, [39][40][41][42] nanoimprinting, selfassembly of block copolymer films, [43][44][45][46] laser induced patterning 47,48 and electrohydrodynamic jet printing [49][50][51][52] have been used to date. These techniques have drawbacks in terms of throughput, cost, the need for specialized equipment, and the requirement of multi-step processing.…”
