Self-Assembling Organic Micro-/Nano-Pillars on Gold and Glass Surfaces.

Nanomaterials (Basel)

Department of Chemistry, Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA 19104, USA.

Published: September 2014

In this work, we report the formation of a family of organic micro-/nano-pillars prepared from surface-assisted self-assembly processes and factors controlling the growth of the pillars. These acids include cyanuric acid (CA), 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (TMA), 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic acid (TA) and 3,4,9,10-perylenetetracarboxylic acid (PTA). Aqueous solutions mixed with acids and melamine (M) can be fine-tuned to prepare ordered micro-/nano-pillars on substrates, which can be further optimized for their applications.
