纳米结构表面浸润性质的分子动力学研究

采用分子动力学方法研究了氩纳米液滴在铂金属及其模型固体表面的浸润现象,获得了液滴在平滑表面和三角纳米结构阵列表面的接触角和展布特性.研究表明,液滴与壁面的势能作用较强时,液滴与纳米结构表面为均匀浸润,但是由于迟滞效应,接触角受表面纳米结构的影响不明显;势能作用较弱时,纳米结构间隙中存在类似蒸汽的低密度相,液滴与纳米结构表面为非均匀浸润,接触角受纳米结构的影响而增大;表面纳米结构可以使表面具有超疏水性.     

取代烷基侧链长度对二维纳米结构的影响

合成了一系列烷基取代的间苯三酚衍生物,并在大气条件下用扫描隧道显微镜研究了它们在高定向裂解石墨表面的吸附和组装行为.实验结果表明,这些自组装分子具有条状结构特征.在链长较短的分子图像中,两条平行的烷氧基链肩并肩地排列在苯环的一侧,另一条烷氧基链则排列在苯环的另一侧,链与链之间彼此相互交错排列形成均一的烷基条带.当链长增加时,这种高稳定性和密排结构遭到破坏,出现单个分子和分子对共存的组装结构.这是由于烷基链与烷基链之间以及烷基链与基底之间的作用力共同决定的.通过调控分子烷基链的长度可以得到不同的表面二维纳米结构.

Replication of Micro- and Nanostructures on Polymer Surfaces

Summary : Via geometrical micro- and nanostructures new functionalities like controlled wetting properties, biological adhesive / dehesive properties or surface patterns for guided self assembly can be added to polymer surfaces. This is especially interesting for medical or biotechnological applications, because there is no new approval process necessary. The whole process from producing the structures via EUV-interference lithography to the injection moulding will be shown. How far the limits for the smallness of these structures on polymers are already pushed forward show the results from our latest injection moulded samples. Grooves of 18 nm width - this means world record! - could be reproduced in an industrial process and in an economical very interesting high-volume production.     

Molecular Organometallic Chemistry on Surfaces: Reactivity of Metal Carbonyls on Metal Oxides

Metal carbonyls react on metal oxide surfaces to give a wide range of structures analogous to those of known compounds. The reactions leading to formation of surface-bound metal carbonyls are explained by known molecular organometallic chemistry and the functional group chemistry of the surfaces. The reaction classes include formation of acid-base adducts as the oxygen of a carbonyl group donates an electron pair to a Lewis acidic center; nucleophilic attack at CO ligands by basic surface hydroxyl groups or O^2? ions; ion-pair formation by deprotonation of hydrido carbonyls to give carbonylate ions; interaction of bifunctional complexes with surface acid-base pair sites such as [Mg^2⊕O^2?]; and oxidative addition of surface hydroxyl groups to metal clusters. The reactions of surface-bound organometallic species include redox condensation and cluster formation on basic surfaces (paralleling the reactions in basic solution) as well as oxidation of mononuclear metal complexes and oxidative fragmentation of metal clusters by reaction with surface hydroxyl groups. Most supported metal carbonyls are unstable at high temperatures, but some, including osmium carbonyl cluster anions on the basic MgO surface, are strongly stabilized in the presence of CO and are precursors of catalysts for CO hydrogenation at 550 K.     

Controllable Electrochemical Synthesis of Silver Dendritic Nanostructures and Their SERS Properties

Ag dendritic nanostructures were synthesized on fluorine-doped tin oxide covered glass sub-strates by the electrodeposition method. Results demonstrate that the size, diameter, crys-tallinity, and branch density of the Ag dendrites can be controlled by the applied potential,the surfactants and the concentration of AgNO₃. Three kinds of typical silver dendrites were applied as substrates of the surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and one of them was able to clearly detect rhodamine 6G concentrations up to 0.1 nmol/L. The differences of the SERS spectra at these Ag dendrites confirmed that the shapes and interparticle spacings have great effect on Raman enhancement, especially the interparticle spacings.

Towards Design Rules for Covalent Nanostructures on Metal Surfaces

Polycationic‐Shelled Capsular and Tubular Nanostructures and Their Anionic–Guest Binding Properties

For the development of novel nanospace with unique electrostatic character, we prepared new capsular and tubular nanostructures by the quantitative assembly of metal ions and bent bisacridinium ligands. The capsule and tube have closed spherical and open cylindrical cavities, respectively, with diameters of around 1 nm surrounded by cationic polyaromatic panels. Thanks to the facile synthetic protocol (three steps), another polycationic capsule with an elliptical nanocavity was also prepared by using an elongated ligand. In spite of the absence of pendant hydrophilic groups, the spherical polyaromatic capsule shows sufficient water solubility due to the polycationic shell. Moreover, the highly cationic cavity (12+) can selectively encapsulate anionic organic compounds in water.     

Non-Lithography Hydrodynamic Printing of Micro/Nanostructures on Curved Surfaces

A key issue of micro/nano devices is how to integrate micro/nanostructures with specified chemical components onto various curved surfaces. Hydrodynamic printing of micro/nanostructures on three-dimensional curved surfaces is achieved with a strategy that combines template-induced hydrodynamic printing and self-assembly of nanoparticles (NPs). Non-lithography flexible wall-shaped templates are replicated with microscale features by dicing a trench-shaped silicon wafer. Arising from the capillary pumped function between the template and curved substrates, NPs in the colloidal suspension self-assemble into close-packed micro/nanostructures without a gravity effect. Theoretical analysis with the lattice Boltzmann model reveals the fundamental principles of the hydrodynamic assembly process. Spiral linear structures achieved by two kinds of fluorescent NPs show non-interfering photoluminescence properties, while the waveguide and photoluminescence are confirmed in 3D curved space. The printed multiconstituent micro/nanostructures with single-NP resolution may serve as a general platform for optoelectronics beyond flat surfaces.
