Definition

Use of DC electric field microarray devices and electronic techniques to carry out the directed self-assembly of bioderivatized nanoparticles into high order structures.

Overview

Electronic microarray devices which produce reconfigurable electric field patterns can be used to control the self-assembly of nanocomponents into higher order structures. These devices allow the hierarchical assembly of nanocomponents to be carried within microscale geometries of electronic circuitry. Such nanofabrication devices and technologies have the potential for producing highly integrated nano/micro/macrostructures including nanophotonic-based large-scale arrays and displays; high-efficiency multiple band gap photovoltaics; fuel cells with nanostructured intermetallic catalysts and integrated fluidic channeling; smart-morphing nanocomposite materials; in vivo biosensor and mother-ship drug delivery...
