静电组装法在纳米SiO_2表面构筑高分子刷的合成与表征(英文)

本文采用静电自组装技术在表面阳离子化的SiO2粒子（SiO2-CBAFS）上构筑了高分子刷,并采用核磁、红外、热失重、接触角和原子力显微镜分别表征了组装粉体的结构、组装量以及自组装单层膜的组装行为和表面拓扑形貌。研究结果表明,采用静电自组装技术可以成功地在SiO2-CBAFS上构筑组装量高达27％的高分子刷,远远高于国际上已见报道的采用共价键合法构筑的高分子刷的组装量（20％）。研究发现,组装量随聚合物（PS-NH—SO3Na）分子量呈非线性增长,其组装行为受到PS-NH—SO3Na的分子量和溶液浓度的影响。     

Interdigitated Multicolored Bioink Micropatterns by Multiplexed Polymer Pen Lithography

Multiplexing, i.e., the application and integration of more than one ink in an interdigitated microscale pattern, is still a challenge for microcontact printing (μCP) and similar techniques. On the other hand there is a strong demand for interdigitated patterns of more than one protein on subcellular to cellular length scales in the lower micrometer range in biological experiments. Here, a new integrative approach is presented for the fabrication of bioactive microarrays and complex multi‐ink patterns by polymer pen lithography (PPL). By taking advantage of the strength of microcontact printing (μCP) combined with the spatial control and capability of precise repetition of PPL in an innovative way, a new inking and writing strategy is introduced for PPL that enables true multiplexing within each repetitive subpattern. Furthermore, a specific ink/substrate platform is demonstrated that can be used to immobilize functional proteins and other bioactive compounds over a biotin–streptavidin approach. This patterning strategy aims specifically at application by cell biologists and biochemists addressing a wide range of relevant pattern sizes, easy pattern generation and adjustment, the use of only biofriendly, nontoxic chemicals, and mild processing conditions during the patterning steps. The retained bioactivity of the fabricated cm² area filling multiprotein patterns is demonstrated by showing the interaction of fibroblasts and neurons with multiplexed structures of fibronectin and laminin or laminin and ephrin, respectively.     

“Multipoint Force Feedback” Leveling of Massively Parallel Tip Arrays in Scanning Probe Lithography

Nanoscale patterning with massively parallel 2D array tips is of significant interest in scanning probe lithography. A challenging task for tip‐based large area nanolithography is maintaining parallel tip arrays at the same contact point with a sample substrate in order to pattern a uniform array. Here, polymer pen lithography is demonstrated with a novel leveling method to account for the magnitude and direction of the total applied force of tip arrays by a multipoint force sensing structure integrated into the tip holder. This high‐precision approach results in a 0.001° slope of feature edge length variation over 1 cm wide tip arrays. The position sensitive leveling operates in a fully automated manner and is applicable to recently developed scanning probe lithography techniques of various kinds which can enable “desktop nanofabrication.”
