Negative structure

Substituted isoquinolinium-olates are isoconjugate with the methyl-naphthalene anion as shown in Scheme 14. Joining negative structure elements—the olate function—to unstarred positions of the isoconjugate... 

Finally, clays such as the smectites almost invariably have a net negative structural charge because of isomorphous substitution of cations of lower charge than would be present in a balanced structure. In kaolinite, the amphoteric nature of the hydrated aluminum and silica surface contributes more to surface charge than does substitution. As a result of either substitution or surface dissociation, a region of counter ions (exchangeable and... 

In EMST, electrochemical reactions based on Faradaic reactions such as metal deposition, anodic dissolution, various oxide formation, and anodic polymerization are common. Ion transfer reactions (ITR) from the electrolyte to the solid or solid to electrolyte can be used for formation of positive or negative structure by deposition or dissolution. ITR can also be performed by electron transfer reaction (ETR) in chemical reactions in the bulk electrolyte. Pure ETR cannot be utilized for microstructuring. Local field distributions at the interface and inside the microstmcrnre play an important role during vertical structure formation by depositions or removal. It also depends on the ionic conductivity of the materials to be deposited or dissolved such as metal, semiconductor, and oxides. 

By utilizing reaction localization in ENT, formation of 3D structures can be achieved with the help of production of negative structures. Figure 13.2 shows various procedures for the development of nanostructures with the help of anodic deposition of metal in nanoscopic scale and subsequent dissolution of sacrificial layer [2]. 

Presence of negative structural effects in the core (deformations, creep, etc.). 

The other methods used for fabrication of PDMS-based MEMS device are (1) casting and (2) injection molding. During casting, the mold is pressed into the heated deformable material. After cooling and separation, the negative structure of the mold is obtained. In microinjection, the heated PDMS material is injected in a liquid state into the mold. After separation, the negative structure of the mold is obtained.
