Dry Aerosol Direct Writing for Selective Nanoparticle Deposition

Microprocessors, long-lasting batteries, and sensors are a number of examples of nanotechnology revolutionising our daily lives. Nanotechnology is the study, development, and manufacturing of structures and devices which derive unique and novel properties from nanoscale phenomena. To realise such structures and devices, a set of processes...

Aerosol Direct Writing and Thermal Tuning of Copper Nanoparticle Patterns as Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering Sensors

Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates are of great interest for detecting low-concentrated analytes. However, issues such as multistep processing, cost, and possible presence of hazardous substances in the fabrication still represent a significant drawback. In this paper, an innovative direct writing method is introduced for...
