text: NFP is used in the development of a to scale, direct-write nanomanufacturing platform. The platform is capable of constructing complex, highly-functional nanoscale devices from a diverse suite of materials (e.g., nanoparticles, catalysts (increase rate of reaction), biomolecules, and chemical solutions). Demonstrated nanopatterning capabilities include:
  • Biomolecules (proteins, DNA) for biodetection assays or cell adhesion studies
  • Functional nanoparticles for drug delivery studies and nanosystems making (fabrication)
  • Catalysts for carbon nanotube growth in nanodevice fabrication
  • Thiols for directed self-assembly of nanostructures.
