Chemical lithography

The structures obtained created by the combination of chemical lithography and SIP are significantly smaller than features reported with comparable techniques. 

The advantage of this approach is not only the free choice of surface stractures which can be created, the material contrast which can be realized by the combination of chemical lithography and amplification with SIP, but also the potential to bridge the gap in structural feature sizes ranging from the microscopic to the nano-scopic scale. Since the feature sizes reported are still limited to the features of the mask used, direct writing with a focused e-beam should result in patterned polymer brushes of features matching the size of the immobilized macromolecule.

In Ancient Egypt mummies were wrapped in cloth dipped in a solution of bitumen in oil of lavender which was known variously as Syrian Asphalt or Bitumen of Judea. On exposure to light the product hardened and became insoluble. It would appear that this process involved the action of chemical cross-linking, which in modem times became of great importance in the vulcanisation of rubber and the production of thermosetting plastics. It was also the study of this process that led Niepce to produce the first permanent photograph and to the development of lithography (see Chapter 14). 

Nanomaterials can be manufactured by one of two groups of methods, one physical and one chemical. In top-down approaches, nanoscale materials are carved into shape by the use of physical nanotechnology methods such as lithography (Fig. 15.30). In bottom-up approaches, molecules are encouraged to assemble themselves into desired patterns chemically by making use of specific... 

Chemically, GA is a complex mixture of macromolecules of different size and composition (mainly carbohydrates and proteins). Today, the properties and features of GA have been widely explored and developed and it is being used in a wide range of industrial sectors such as textiles, ceramics, lithography, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, encapsulation, food, etc. Regarding food industry, it is used as a stabilizer, a thickener and/or an emulsifier agent (e.g., soft drink syrup, gummy candies and creams) (Verbeken et al., 2003). 

The microstructure is part of a bottom plate a top plate serves as a cover [21]. Direct-write laser lithography and wet-chemical etching were employed for microfabrication of the bottom plate. Holes were drilled in the top plate to give conduits for the inlet and outlet ports. The top and bottom plates were bonded thermally. 

As a consequence one might expect that the future needs to rely on hybrid elements which arise from advanced UV-and electron-beam lithography, from imprint techniques or automated and parallelized nanomanipulation techniques, like dip-pen lithography or focused ion-beam techniques in combination with supramolecular approaches for the assembly of molecular inorganic/organic hybrid system. Nevertheless, it is evident for any kind of chemical approach that falling back onto the present-day...

Materials. The nearly monodisperse atactic PMMA, which was used for the electron beam lithography and fluorescence spectroscopy studies, was obtained from Pressure Chemical. It has a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 188,100 and Mw/Mn< 1.08. Pyrenedodecanoic acid (PDA) used in the fluorescence studies was obtained from Molecular Probes and used as supplied. Spectroscopic grade benzene purchased from J.T. Baker was used as the spreading solvent in the PMMA and PMMA/PDA solutions.
