Researchers developed a novel nanoporous surface for micro/nano object manipulation. This surface enables ultragentle, high-contrast adhesion switching, crucial for handling delicate small-scale items without preload.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Micro/nano-scale object manipulation is challenging due to the ineffectiveness of gravity.
  • Controlling interfacial adhesion with high contrast and gentleness is critical for reliable micro-handling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel approach for surface adhesion control using liquid-permeable nanoporous surfaces.
  • To achieve ultragentle, high-contrast adhesion switching for micro/nano object manipulation without preload.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized vertically aligned composite nanowires (79 nm diameter) forming a liquid-permeable nanoporous surface.
  • Employed capillary adhesion by injecting liquid for object pickup.
  • Achieved release through sparse contact as liquid evaporates.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated adhesion switching from off-state (< 0.002 kPa) to on-state (0.8 kPa) without preload.
  • Achieved off-state adhesion lower than gravitational force for thin polymer films (0.18 mN cm⁻²).
  • Successfully performed pick-and-place operations on LED chips, micro-architected materials, and thin-film electronics.

Conclusions:

  • The developed nanoporous surface enables precise control over adhesion at the micro/nano scale.
  • This technology facilitates contactless release of lightweight materials, advancing micro-manipulation capabilities.
  • The characterized mechanism and demonstrated applications highlight the potential for widespread use in microelectronics and advanced materials handling.
