Abstract:
We introduce a straightforward and cost-effective water-assisted approach to transfer patterns of nanomaterials onto diverse substrates. The transfer method relies on the hydrophobic effect and utilizes a water-soluble polymer film as a carrier to transfer hydrophobic nanomaterials from a patterned source substrate onto a target substrate. Using this approach, nanomaterials are transferred readily from solutions onto surfaces of various shapes and compositions with high fidelity for feature sizes approaching 10 microns.

States of Water
Water freezes when the intermolecular forces are greater than the kinetic energy. Unlike most other substances, water is less dense in its solid state than in its liquid state. This is because each water molecule can form...
