Deposition of Nanobead Hexagonal Crystals Using Silicon Microcantilevers
Source abstract
Abstract
Spot on! Hexagonal-shaped microspots of polystyrene nanobeads have been directly printed using silicon microcantilevers without the need of a prepatterned surface. Picoliter droplets of colloidal solution were deposited by direct contact between the cantilever tip and the surface. By controlling the wettability of the surface and the contact time during deposition, it is possible to tune the shape and the size of the spotted colloidal area. The image shows a particular case in which a perfectly hexagonal microspot was created.
