Fabrication of thermo-responsive nano-valve by grafting-to in melt of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) onto nanoporous silicon nitride membranes

Philippe Renaud, Alexandre Zenon Ivan Bojko, Raphaël Pugin, Franck Montagne

This article reports the grafting-to in melt of amino and carboxy-terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) onto ultrathin nanoporous silicon nitride membranes (NSiNMs) with a mean pore size of 85 +/- 15 nm functionalized respectively with a self-ass ...

Hierarchical positioning of gold nanoparticles into periodic arrays using block copolymer nanoring templates

Patrik Willi Hoffmann, Harry Heinzelmann, Li Wang, Raphaël Pugin, Franck Montagne

We report a simple and versatile self-assembly method for controlling the placement of functional gold nanoparticles on silicon substrates using micellar templates. The hierarchical positioning of gold nanoparticles is achieved in one-step during the spont ...

SiN membranes with submicrometer hole arrays patterned by wafer-scale nanosphere lithography

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Harry Heinzelmann, Mona Julia Katharina Klein, Nicolas Blondiaux, Raphaël Pugin, Franck Montagne

In this work, nanosphere lithography was integrated with standard microfabrication for the wafer-scale fabrication of silicon nitride (SiN) membranes with arrays of submicrometer holes. A monolayer of polystyrene (PS) beads with a mean diameter of 428 or 5 ...

Nanoporous SiN membranes patterned by wafer-scale nanosphere lithography

Jürgen Brugger, Andreea Veronica Savu, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Harry Heinzelmann, Mona Julia Katharina Klein, Raphaël Pugin, Franck Montagne

Nanoporous SiN membranes are interesting for a number of applications, e.g. stenciling, filtration, or tissue engineering [1-3]. The patterning of the pores requires a high resolution lithographic tool. Focused ion beam milling or e-beam lithography fulfil ...
