The effects of feature geometry on simulating nanoimprint lithography
Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a method for fabricating nano-scale patterns by pressing stamps into viscous materials. A key barrier to industry adoption of NIL is the inability to predict whether a stamp will imprint successfully and how long the process should be run for. In this thesis, we …

Towards a universal ultra-thin fluorinated diamond-like carbon coating for nanoimprint lithography imprinters
<p>Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has proven to achieve arbitrary, nanoscale features, over large areas, without the use of costly step-and-repeat UV lithography tools. The fidelity of the imprinted pattern depends on the elimination of the adhesion between the imprinted polymer and the imprinter …

Micro- and nano-electrode arrays for electroanalytical sensing
… arrays were fabricated using electron-beam lithography (EBL). The voltammograms obtained from these arrays exhibited a continual increase in the recorded peak current as the individual electrodes radius was decreased to a value of 110 nm. Since EBL is a slow and costly technique, nanoimprint …

Investigating wetting characteristics on microstructured surfaces for superhydrophobicity and metal microcasting
The engineering of liquid behavior on surfaces is important for infrastructure, transportation, manufacturing, and sensing. Surfaces can be rendered superhydrophobic by microstructuring, and superhydrophobic devices could lead to practical corrosion inhibition, self-cleaning, fluid flow control, …

Scalable Electrochemical Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (EC-SERS) for bio-chemical analysis
… on both rigid and flexible substrates by direct nanoimprinting of perfluoropolyether nanowell-array templates into uncured MWCNT/polymer mixtures. By controlling the MWCNT ratios and the annealing temperatures during the fabrication process, MWCNT/polymer nanopillar arrays can possess outstanding …
