Site selective micro-patterned rutile TiO2 film through a seed layer deposition

In situ growth of CuS thin films on functionalized self-assembled monolayers using chemical bath deposition

“…To ensure successful preparation of SAMs, the static contact angles of water on SAMs were 108-110°(-CH 3 terminal group) and 50- 52°(-NH 2 terminal group), in agreement with the literature [48,49].…”

Deposition of colloid particles at heterogeneous and patterned surfaces

“…Theoretical calculations have been performed for the ring shaped patterned surfaces using the limiting trajectory [48] and the convective-diffusion approach [49]. Also, experimental measurements have been done for surface features having the form of circles and dots [50][51][52], squares [53][54][55], rectangles and stripes [56][57][58][59][60][61] and others [62]. These features are usually produced on homogeneous surfaces by microcontact printing, photolithography or laser ablation.…”

Micrometer and nanometer-scale parallel patterning of ceramic and organic–inorganic hybrid materials

“…146 Clem The quality of shape replication depends strongly on the site selectivity with which material is deposited on different surfaces, which in turn depends on the chemical contrast between alternate regions of the substrate. 149,150 Instead of OTS, hydrophilic 11-mercapto-undecanol (HS-C 11 H 22 -OH) SAMs have been printed on gold, while the rest of the substrate was covered with a hydrophobic octadecanethiol (C 18 H 35 -SH) SAM. 151 The thiol groups bind covalently to the gold surface, so that methyl and hydroxyl groups point outward from the surface.…”

“…An overview of the main characteristics of some commonly used SAMs for microcontact printing is shown in Table 3. 150 Residual PDMS may also serve as patterning template. It can be realized by first treating a PDMS stamp with UV/ozone, and then making conformal contact with a substrate.…”
