We present an alternative approach for controlling the water adhesion on solid superhydrophobic surfaces by varying their coverage with a spray coating technique. In particular, micro-, submicro-, and nanorough surfaces were developed starting from photolithographically tailored SU-8 micropillars that were used as substrates for spraying first poly(tetrafluoroethylene) submicrometer particles and subsequently iron oxide nanoparticles. The sprayed particles serve to induce surface submicrometer and nanoscale roughness, rendering the SU-8 patterns superhydrophobic (apparent contact angle values of more than 150°), and also to tune the water adhesion between extreme states, turning the surfaces from “non-sticky” to “sticky” while preserving their superhydrophobicity. The influence of the chemical properties and of the geometrical characteristics of the functionalized surfaces on the wetting properties is discussed within the frame of the theory. This simple method can find various applications in the fabrication of microfluidic devices, smart surfaces, and biotechnological and antifouling materials. 相似文献

Current efforts and success of nanoscale science and technology are related to the fabrication of functional materials and devices in which the individual units and their spatial arrangement are engineered down to the nanometer level. One promising way of achieving this goal is by assembling colloidal inorganic nanocrystals as the novel building blocks of matter. This trend has been stimulated by significant advances in the wet-chemical syntheses of robust and easily processable nanocrystals in a wide range of sizes and shapes. The increase in the degree of structural complexity of solution-grown nanostructures appears to be one of the natural directions towards which nanoscience will increasingly orient. Recently, several groups have indeed devised innovative syntheses of nanocrystals through which they have been able to group inorganic materials with different properties in the same particle. These approaches are paving the way to the development of nanosized objects able to perform multiple technological tasks. In this critical review (165 references), we will summarize the recent advances in the synthesis of colloidal nanocrystals, with emphasis on the strategies followed for the fabrication of nano-heterostructures, as well as on their properties and the perspectives in this field. 相似文献

The use of fluorescence techniques has an enormous impact on various research fields including imaging, biochemical assays, DNA-sequencing and medical technologies. This has been facilitated by the development of numerous commercial dyes with optimized photophysical and chemical properties. Often, however, information about the chemical structures of dyes and the attached linkers used for bioconjugation remain a well-kept secret. This can lead to problems for research applications where knowledge of the dye structure is necessary to predict or understand (unwanted) dye-target interactions, or to establish structural models of the dye-target complex. Using a combination of optical spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, NMR spectroscopy and molecular dynamics simulations, we here investigate the molecular structures and spectroscopic properties of dyes from the Alexa Fluor (Alexa Fluor 555 and 647) and AF series (AF555, AF647, AFD647). Based on available data and published structures of the AF and Cy dyes, we propose a structure for Alexa Fluor 555 and refine that of AF555. We also resolve conflicting reports on the linker composition of Alexa Fluor 647 maleimide. We also conducted a comprehensive comparison between Alexa Fluor and AF dyes by continuous-wave absorption and emission spectroscopy, quantum yield determination, fluorescence lifetime and anisotropy spectroscopy of free and protein-attached dyes. All these data support the idea that Alexa Fluor and AF dyes have a cyanine core and are a derivative of Cy3 and Cy5. In addition, we compared Alexa Fluor 555 and Alexa Fluor 647 to their structural homologs AF555 and AF(D)647 in single-molecule FRET applications. Both pairs showed excellent performance in solution-based smFRET experiments using alternating laser excitation. Minor differences in apparent dye-protein interactions were investigated by molecular dynamics simulations. Our findings clearly demonstrate that the AF-fluorophores are an attractive alternative to Alexa- and Cy-dyes in smFRET studies or other fluorescence applications. 相似文献
