DIRECTED ASSEMBLY OF FUNCTIONAL HETEROSTRUCTURES

WIPO Patent Application WO2003079401

A3

The present invention relates to a systematic process for the creation of functionally organized, spatially patterned assemblies polymer-microparticle composites including the AC electric field-mediated assembly of patterned, self-supporting organic (polymeric) films and organic-polymer-microparticle composites of tailored composition and morphology. The present invention further relates to the incorporation of said assemblies into other structures. The present invention also relates to the application of such functional assemblies in materials science and biology. Additional areas of application include sensors, catalysts, membranes, and micro-reactors, and miniaturized format for generation of multifunctional thin films. This invention also provides simple methods and apparatus for synthesizing thin films of tailored composition and morphology.
