We present a non-conventional, low cost and simple approach for patterning gold nanoparticles (NPs) using highly oriented PolyTetraFluoroEthylene (HOPTFE) macromolecular segments on glass substrates. Transparent and stable HOPTFE templates for NP self-assembly were prepared by sliding unidirectionally a PTFE rod across a glass substrate at a...

In this work, we investigate the chemical conditions for inducing a self-organized growth of 2D and ID structures of gold nanoparticles (NPs), 50 nm diameter tri-sodium citrate stabilized, assembled onto chemically modified glass substrates through 3-Aminopropyltriethatoxysilane. The aggregation process of the nanoparticles on the silanised...

An ink made from ex-situ synthesized nickel nanoparticles suspended in hexane is proposed as catalyst for the growth of carbon nanotubes onto high aspect ratio surfaces. The functionality of the ink as precursor has been at first checked onto standard flat surfaces such as silicon oxide onto a silicon wafer, were thick mats of multi-walled...
