Main Objectives :

i) Development of molecules such as alkane thiols and other appropriate chemical entities for possible use as ink.

ii) Exploratory development atudies of Atomic Force Microscope or possible use in Dip Pen Nanolithography

iii) Investigation of spatially narrow deposition of ink molecules from the tip and self-assembly of ink molecules functionalized through chemisorptin to the different substrates of interest i.e. gold/glass etc.

What was achieved :

• Development of molecules such as alkane thiols and others appropriate chemical entities for possible use as ink
• Exploratory development studies of Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) for possible use in Dip Pen Nanolithography
• Investigation on spatially narrow deposition of ink molecules from the tip and self assembly of ink molecules functionalized through chemisorptions to the different substrates of interest (i.e. gold/glass)
