    Abstract: A simple and reproducible preparative method for the fabrication of surface-chemical gradients is described herein. Surface-chemical gradient films are prepared by using a liquid front in relative motion to the substrate (e.g. immersion by a linear-motion drive or the use of a spreading droplet) to gradually expose substrate samples to very dilute solutions of adsorbates. As demonstrated by XPS, the self-assembled monolayer gradients produced in this way display a high packing density. This method can be used in the preparation of other gradients of various chemical or biochemical functionalities in one or two dimensions. Such gradients can be used in a wide variety of applications in such diverse areas as cell motility studies, nanotribology research, and high-throughput screening.

    Abstract: This invention describes methods of synthesis and applications of planarized photonic crystals. Provided are simple, quick, reproducible and inexpensive methods that combine self-assembly and lithography to achieve the first examples of vectorial control of thickness, structure, area, topology, orientation and registry of colloidal crystals that have been patterned in substrates for use in lab-on-chip and photonic chip technologies. 1-, 2 and 3-D colloidal crystals patterned either on or within substrates can be used for templating inverted colloidal crystal replica patterns made of materials like silicon as well as building micron scale structural defects in such colloidal crystals. These photonic crystals can form the basis of a range of optical devices that may be integrated within photonic chips and coupled to optical fibers and/or waveguides to enable development of highly compact planarized optically integrated photonic crystal devices and circuits for use in future all-optical computers and optical telecommunication systems.

    Abstract: A process and apparatus for processing a monolayer film and transferring the monolayer film to a substrate are provided. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a process for transferring a monolayer film to a substrate is provided comprising the steps of: (i) providing a water-based carrier media defining an upper surface; (ii) introducing process particles on the upper surface of the carrier media, wherein the molecules are dissolved in a solvent and the particles and the solvent are insoluble in the carrier media; (iii) evaporating the solvent such that a non-cohesive monolayer film of the particles is formed on the upper surface of the carrier media; (iv) decreasing a degree of void incorporation in the monolayer film of particles by compressing a dimension of the non-cohesive film along the upper surface of the carrier media, and sonicating the carrier media to form micro-bubbles in the carrier media, wherein the compression and the sonication contribute to a decreased degree of void incorporation in the film of process particles; and (v) transferring the film of particles to a surface of the substrate. The steps of compressing and sonicating may be executed concurrently.

    Abstract: A method for forming a molecular film includes the steps of: coating a surface of a substrate having active hydrogen atoms on its surface with a coating solution containing a silane-based compound having at least one reactive group selected from the group consisting of a chloro group, an alkoxy group and an isocyanate group; and effecting an elimination reaction between the active hydrogen atoms on the surface of the substrate and reactive groups of the silane-based compound, thereby covalently bonding the silane-based compounds to the surface of the substrate. The substrate is supplied to a chamber in which an atmosphere is maintained at a low water vapor density. The surface of the substrate is coated with a coating solution containing the silane-based compound and a solvent by using a transfer element. A dehydrochlorination reaction is effected between the active hydrogen atoms and the chloro groups of the silane-based compounds. Thereafter, any coating solution containing unreacted silane-based compounds after coating is removed inside or outside the chamber.

    Abstract: An elastomeric stamp (10) is provided, which has a bulk surface (12) from which protruding features (14, 14') extend. A barrier layer (20) covers the bulk surface (12) and the protruding features (14, 14'). After applying an ink solution to the elastomeric stamp (10) and drying the elastomeric stamp (10), the elastomeric stamp (10) is brought into contact with a surface (42) of a first substrate (40). The surface (42) of the first substrate (40) has a high affinity with the ink molecules (32), which is utilized to effectively remove the ink molecules (32) from the contact surfaces (16, 16') of the protruding features (14, 14'). Subsequently, the elastomeric stamp (10) is brought into contact with the surface (52) of a second substrate (50). Ink molecules 32 are transferred from the edges (18, 18') of the protruding features (14, 14') to the surface (52) of a second substrate (50), thus forming an ink pattern in the form of a self­assembled monolayer on this surface (52). The patterning method of the present invention allows for the formation of high-definition ink patterns on a substrate (50) using a wide variety of inks.
