Scalable Nonmanufacturing of Nanoparticle Films: A Continuous Automated Langmuir-Blodgett Assembly and Deposition Method

摘要

Nanoparticles (NP) of different materials keep capturing attention of researchers for several reasons. First, they may have properties that differ from the bulk material. Even if that is not the case, producing materials in nanoparticle form (especially by solution methods) can be advantageous if synthesis of bulk material is complicated and/or costly. Irrespective of the motivation behind making the nanoparticles, Nanoparticle in the form of thin film has attracted ever-increasing attention due to its practical application and scientific importance in numerous fields such as nanodevices [1], electronics [2], functional coatings [3]. Therefore, a great number of publications have studied the deposition of nanoparticle thin film.
