Combinatorial Particle Patterning

Abstract

The unique properties of solid particles make them a promising element of micro-and nanostructure technologies. Solid particles can be used as building blocks for micro and nanostructures, carriers of monomers, or catalysts. The possibility of patterning different kinds of particles on the same substrate opens the pathway for novel combinatorial designs and novel technologies. One of the examples of such technologies is the synthesis of peptide arrays with amino acid particles. This review examines the known methods of combinatorial particle patterning via static electrical and magnetic fields, laser radiation, patterning by synthesis, and particle patterning via chemically modified or microstructured surfaces.

Laser‐Based Printing: From Liquids to Microstructures

“…[65,66,90,[107][108][109] In both cases, the particles trapped or pushed toward the substrate can bind to it by Van der Waals interactions. [65,88,102,110] Other methods that set the particles permanently on the substrate include local thermal heating, [111][112][113][114] gelation, [87,91,115] electrophoretic deposition, [116][117][118] and UV triggering. [119] Simulations and calculations of the optical forces [65,66,102,103] that affect the particles were presented.…”

Enhancing the Microparticle Deposition Stability and Homogeneity on Planer for Synthesis of Self-Assembly Monolayer

“…The result of this study will be applied to create homogeneity in bioparticle [ 11 ] deposition in the future. The deposited bioparticles can be addressed in different methods and used for monomer synthesis, such as electrical fields from microelectrodes [ 19 , 25 ] or laser [ 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ], and can be used for several applications, such as antibody analysis [ 38 ] or surface functionalization [ 39 ]. The microparticles were dehumidified in the desiccator with a molecular sieve overnight before the experiment.…”
