It is very hard to fabricate nano-strctures on PEDOT:PSS film by conventional Nanoimprint Lithography for its non-thermoplastic property. Here we demonstrated a new nanoimprint process to pattern the PEDOT:PSS film at low temperature and low pressure by adding proper amount of Glycerol into PEDOT:PSS solution and pressing the Si-mold into Glycerol-PEDOT:PSS film under a pressure of 6.2Mpa for 45min at 80°C. We also compared our result to L. Tan and co-workers’. They found that positive replica was left on PEDOT:PSS film after pressing the Si-mold into Glycerol-PEDOT:PSS film under a pressure of 10Kpa for 5min at 80°C, but our work showed negative replica formed. Pressing time maybe is the critical reason to explain the different results. Holding the pressure longer gave the PEDOT:PSS enough time to flow into Si-mold and also gave Glycerol enough time to evaporate so that PEDOT:PSS became strong enough when separated the Si-mold from the PEDOT:PSS film. At last, Roman spectra was measured to confirm adding glycerol to PEDOT:PSS will not influence its molecular structure.

The attack, on the surface of a polymer, by the atomic, molecular and ionic species that are created in a low pressure electrical discharge in a gas is interesting because: 1) significant interior morphological features may be revealed, 2) dielectric breakdown of polymeric insulation on high voltage power distribution lines involves the attack on the polymer of such species created in a corona discharge, 3) adhesive bonds formed between polymer surfaces subjected to such SDecies are much stronger than bonds between untreated surfaces, 4) the chemical modification of the surface creates a reactive surface to which a thin layer of another polymer may be bonded by glow discharge polymerization.

The periodic structure external to the outer membrane of Spirillum serpens VHA has been isolated by similar procedures to those used by Buckmire and Murray (1). From SDS gel electrophoresis, we have found that the isolated fragments contain several protein components, and that the crystalline structure is composed of a glycoprotein component with a molecular weight of ∽ 140,000 daltons (2). Under an electron microscopic examination, we have visualized the hexagonally-packed glycoprotein subunits, as well as the bilayer profile of the outer membrane. In this paper, we will discuss some structural aspects of the crystalline glycoproteins, based on computer-reconstructed images of the external cell wall fragments.The specimens were prepared for electron microscopy in two ways: negatively stained with 1% PTA, and maintained in a frozen-hydrated state (3). The micrographs were taken with a JEM-100B electron microscope with a field emission gun. The minimum exposure technique was essential for imaging the frozen- hydrated specimens.

The field ion microscope, devised by Erwin Muller in the 1950's, was the first instrument to depict the structure of surfaces in atomic detail. An FIM image of a (111) plane of tungsten (Fig.l) is typical of what can be done by this microscope: for this small plane, every atom, at a separation of 4.48Å from its neighbors in the plane, is revealed. The image of the plane is highly enlarged, as it is projected on a phosphor screen with a radius of curvature more than a million times that of the sample. Müller achieved the resolution necessary to reveal individual atoms by imaging with ions, accommodated to the object at a low temperature. The ions are created at the sample surface by ionization of an inert image gas (usually helium), present at a low pressure (< 1 mTorr). at fields on the order of 4V/Å.
