Shape template

Later, Hosoya et al. 1931 prepared monodisperse polymer-based CSPs from chiral methacrylamides by co-polymerization onto the surface of polymeric particles. These are synthesized by a staged templated suspension polymerization using a two-step swelling method starting from polystyrene seed particles of 1 pm size used as shape templates, onto which methyl methacrylate and later the chiral methacrylamide is co-polymerized. 

Scheme 1. Templating steps induding both casting and coating approaches. Schematic illustration demonstrating the casting and coating of a star-shaped template. The casting technique gives a composite in which the second material fills the area around the mold so that on removal of the mold a structured material is obtained, which is an inverse replica of the initial template. In contrast, coating of the template results in a layer of the second material aroimd the mold, resulting in a hollow replica on removal of the template...

Nanometer and micrometer sized tubes have been prepared from polymeric materials using suitably shaped templates to ensure the final shape/ These templates can typically be divided into several categories. Hard templates consist of thin porous membranes, often alumina ° or track-etched polycarbonate where the nanometer-sized pores are partially backfilled (wetted) with polymeric material. Removal of the template then yields the polymer tubes. The outer tube diameter is defined by the template pore sizes while the inner (open) diameter of the tubes can often be controlled by the amount of polymer deposited into the template pores. The length of the tubes typically corresponds to the thickness of the porous membrane. 

There are many ingenious and successful routes now developed for nanocry stalline syntliesis some rely on gas phase reactions followed by product dispersal into solvents [7, 9,13,14 and 15]. Otliers are adaptations of classic colloidal syntlieses [16,17,18 and 19]. Electrochemical and related template metliods can also be used to fomi nanostmctures, especially tliose witli anisotropic shapes [20, 21, 22 and 23]. Ratlier tlian outline all of tlie available metliods, this section will focus on two different techniques of nanocrystal syntliesis which together demonstrate tlie general strategies.

Future development of SAM-based analytical technology requires expansion of the size and shape selectivity of template stmctures, as well as introduction of advanced chemical and optical gating mechanisms. An important contribution of SAMs is in miniaturization of analytical instmmentation. This use may in turn have considerable importance in the biomedical analytical area, where miniature analytical probes will be introduced into the body and target-specific organs or even cell clusters. Advances in high resolution spatial patterning of SAMs open the way for such technologies (268,352). 

However, these requirements go further than merely controlling the devices used for measurement. They address the measurements themselves, the selection of the devices for measurement and also apply to devices which create product features, if they are used for product verification purposes. If you rely on jigs, tools, fixtures, templates, patterns, etc. to form shapes or other characteristics and have no other means of verifying the shape achieved, these devices become a means of verification. If you use software to control equipment, simulate the environment or operational conditions, or carry out tests and you rely on that software doing what it is supposed to do, without any separate means of checking the result, the quality of such software becomes critical to product verification. In fact the requirements apply to metrology as a whole rather than being limited to the equipment that is used to obtain the measurement and therefore a more appropriate title of the section would be Control of measurements . 

The most important nanomaterial synthesis methods include nanolithography techniques, template-directed syntheses, vapor-phase methods, vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) methods, solution-liquid-solid (SLS) approaches, sol-gel processes, micelle, vapor deposition, solvothermal methods, and pyrolysis methods [1, 2]. For many of these procedures, the control of size and shape, the flexibility in the materials that can be synthesized, and the potential for scaling up, are the main limitations. In general, the understanding of the growth mechanism of any as-...
