In situ fabrication of ordered nanoring arrays via the reconstruction of patterned block copolymer thin films.

چکیده
We report a novel and versatile approach for fabricating ordered nanoring arrays of metals, metal oxides, and other inorganic materials with diameter of sub-50 nm by loading the salt precursors in P4VP cores of PS-b-P4VP thin film and exposing these to methanol vapor which results in the P4VP blocks shrinking to form nanorings.

Photocatalytic printing of inorganic nanopatterns via poly(styrene-block-carbosilane) copolymer thin films on titania substrates.
Well-defined, ordered arrays of nanoscale depressions were obtained in linear-brush-type polystyrene-block-polycarbosilane (PS-b-PCS) diblock copolymer thin films by acetone vapor annealing and silica nanodot arrays were directly obtained from such thin films deposited on a titania substrate by one-step exposure to UV light as a result of transformation of the PCS units to silica, driven by the...
متن کاملFabrication of Highly Ordered Polymeric Nanodot and Nanowire Arrays Templated by Supramolecular Assembly Block Copolymer Nanoporous Thin Films
Realizing the vast technological potential of patternable block copolymers requires both the precise controlling of the orientation and long-range ordering, which is still a challenging topic so far. Recently, we have demonstrated that ordered nanoporous thin film can be fabricated from a simple supramolecular assembly approach. Here we will extend this approach and provide a general route to f...
متن کاملLithographically patterned electrodeposition of gold, silver, and nickel nanoring arrays with widely tunable near-infrared plasmonic resonances.
A novel low-cost nanoring array fabrication method that combines the process of lithographically patterned nanoscale electrodeposition (LPNE) with colloidal lithography is described. Nanoring array fabrication was accomplished in three steps: (i) a thin (70 nm) sacrificial nickel or silver film was first vapor-deposited onto a plasma-etched packed colloidal monolayer; (ii) the polymer colloids ...
متن کاملCreating patterned carbon nanotube catalysts through the microcontact printing of block copolymer micellar thin films.
We report a route for synthesizing patterned carbon nanotube (CNT) catalysts through the microcontact printing of iron-loaded poly(styrene-block-acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA) micellar solutions onto silicon wafers coated with thin aluminum oxide (Al(2)O(3)) layers. The amphiphilic block copolymer, PS-b-PAA, forms spherical micelles in toluene that can form quasi-hexagonal arrays of spherical PAA dom...
متن کاملDirected self-assembly of cylinder-forming diblock copolymers on sparse chemical patterns.
Using both theory and experiment, we investigate the possibility of creating perfectly ordered block copolymer nanostructures on sparsely patterned substrates. Our study focuses on scrutinizing the appropriate pattern conditions to avoid undesired morphologies or defects when depositing cylinder-forming AB diblock copolymer thin films on the substrates which are mostly neutral with periodic str...
