We present a theory for determining the localized surface plasmon resonance shifts of arbitrarily shaped metal nanoparticles on a substrate. Using a pseudoparticle concept, an expression for the particle-substrate interaction is derived, providing both physical insight and formulas to estimate the shifted plasmon resonance. The theory is verified against measured scattering spectra of nanorods on substrates. Simple formulas are provided to calculate the resonance of nanorods, spheres, and ellipsoids on dielectric substrate.

Hypothesis: Synthetic micro/nanomotors are gaining extensive attention for various biomedical applications (especially in drug delivery) due to their ability to mimic the motion of biological micro/nanoscale swimmers. The feasibility of these applications relies on tight control of propulsion speed, direction, and type of motion (translation, circular, etc.) along with the exerted self-propulsive force.

Interactions between carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and fluid flows are central to the operation of several emerging nanotechnologies. In this paper, we explore the fluid-structure interaction of CNT micropillars in wall-bounded shear flows, relevant to recently developed microscale wall shear stress sensors. We monitor the deformation of CNT micropillars in channel flow as the flow rate and wall shear stress are gradually varied.

Cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes, poly(vinylbenzyl trimethylammonium chloride) (PVBTA) and poly(sodium styrene sulfate) (PSSS), were grafted on the surface of the silica particles, respectively, and then these two types of polyelectrolyte-grafted silica particles were applied to the colloidal layer preparation by convective self-assembly (CSA) using hydrophilic or hydrophobic glass substrates to investigate the effect of the interactions between the particles and the substrate surface on the resultant layer structures. When the PVBTA-grafted silica particle (PVBTA-Si) was used, the colloidal monolayers with a non-close-packed (NCP) structure were formed on both hydrophilic and hydrophobic glass substrates, where the NCP colloidal layers on the hydrophobic glass substrate have a somewhat more ordered structure than those on the hydrophilic glass substrate. In the case of the PSSS-grafted silica particle (PSSS-Si), on the other hand, stripe patterns with close-packed (CP) colloidal layers were obtained on both types of the glass substrates.

Polymer cold spray has gained considerable attention as a novel manufacturing process. A promising aspect of this technology involves the ability to deposit uniform polymer coatings without the requirements of solvent and/or high-temperature conditions. The present study investigates the interplay between shear instability, often considered to be the primary mechanism for bond formation, and fracture, as a secondary energy dissipation mechanism, collectively governing the deposition of glassy thermoplastics on similar and dissimilar substrates.

The transport of magnetic particles (MPs) by dynamic magnetic field landscapes (MFLs) using magnetically patterned substrates is promising for the development of Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems. The inherent close-to-substrate MP motion is sensitive to changing particle-substrate interactions. Thus, the detection of a modified particle-substrate separation distance caused by surface binding of an analyte is expected to be a promising probe in analytics and diagnostics.
