A new three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework, [Ag2(bipy)2(bdc)·4H2O]n 1, has been synthesized by the ultrasonic reaction of Ag2O, bipy and H2bdc (H2bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid; bipy = 4,4’-bipyridine) at room temperature. It exhibits a new 3D supramolecular framework which is built from cationic Ag-bipy chains and anionic bdc-H2O sheets through hydrogen bonds, π · · ·π stacking and C-H· · ·π interactions. Additionally, the photoluminescent and thermal properties of 1 were investigated.

How to integrate the microstructures which are made by various micro manufacturing methods into a functional system or device is the key to the application of MEMS technology. Solder self-assembly is based on surface tension with the properties of “self-organization”, low cost, batch processes and the compatibility with surface mount technology, which makes it be a challenging alternate technique. Solder self-assembly is based on the principle of surface energy minimization of molten solder material. During the process of minimizing the surface energy, surface tension can pull the horizontal hinged or hingeless plate up to a particular angle to achieve the minimal system energy. Finite element method is applied in this paper. MEMS self-assembly three-dimensional dynamic simulation model is developed by SURFACE EVOLVER. First, the model in this paper dynamically simulate the angle change of hinged plate during the process of evolvement of solder; second, the comparisons among the results from the current model and those from analytical two-dimensional model and three-dimensional static model are carried out; third, through Design of Experiments (DoE) with the application of the current model, the influences of design parameters such as pad size, pad geometry, and solder paste volume to the assembly angle are compared and discussed. Through changing the pad size, pad geometry and solder paste volume in SURFACE EVOLVER model, the corresponding final assembly angel from dynamic three-dimensional models are obtained. The relationship between design parameters to the assembly angle is concluded by the application of statistical analyses. The final angle can be controlled more effectively through synthetically optimize these parameters. It can provide effective guidance to the practical manufacturing of MEMS. Further research should focuses on the MEMS self-assembly experiment to intensively understand the relationship between the pad sizes, pad position, solder paste volume, hinge position, lock position and intermetallic compounds and the final assembly angle.

ABSTRACTWe present a new and relatively simple process to manufacture three-dimensional sub-micron structures over square centimeter areas using a soft stamp imprinting process. The room-temperature replication process shows excellent quality in transferring features directly into inorganic silica material with pattern distortion smaller than 0.03% over an area of 15×15mm2. Using a self assembly planarization method the imprinting process can be repeated to form three-dimensional structures. As a demonstration, a multilayer stack of four crossed gratings is shown.

AbstractThe self-assembly of α,ω-dihexylsexithiophene molecules on an Au(111) surface was examined by using scanning tunneling microscopy at room temperature, revealing the internal molecular structures of the sexithiophene backbones and the hexyl side chains. The α,ω-dihexylsexithiophene formed a large and well-ordered monolayer in which the molecule lay flatly on the Au(111) surface and was separated into two chiral domains. A detailed observation reveals that the admolecules were packed in one lamellae with their molecular axis aligned along the main axis of the Au(111) substrate with their hexyl chains deviated from ⟨110⟩ direction of the Au(111) substrate by 12 ± 0.5°. In contrast to the behavior in the three-dimensional bulk structure, flat-lying adsorption introduced molecular chirality: right- and left-handed molecules separate into domains of two different orientations, which are mirror symmetric with respect to the ⟨121⟩ direction of the Au(111) substrate. Details of the adlayer structure and the chiral self-assembly were discussed here.

In this work, we report on conducting polyaniline (PANI) nanostructures synthesized by a simplified template-free self-assembly method, which are doped with different oxidants such as ammonium persulfate (APS), FeCl3, Fe(NO3)3, and Fe2(SO4)3. It is found that the morphologies of the as-prepared PANI nanowires are dependent on the oxidant and the molar ratio of aniline to oxidant. The PANI nanostructures are semiconducting with room-temperature conductivity ranging from 10-2to 100S/cm, and the temperature dependence of conductivity follows three-dimensional Mott variable range hopping (3D Mott-VRH) model. In addition, the PANI pellets exhibit hydrophilic behavior.

Fluidic assembly provides solutions for assembling particles with sizes from nanometres to centimetres. Fluidic techniques based on patterned shapes of monolayers and capillary forces are widely used to assemble microfabrication devices. Usually, for self-assembly, the precondition is that the components must be mobile in a fluidic environment. In the present work, a shape-directed fluidic self-assembly of rod-like microstructures, such as an optical fibre on a wettable pad is demonstrated experimentally with submicrometre positioning precision. A model of the process is proposed, which accounts for the following two stages of the orientation of a fibre submerged in a sessile drop: (i) the drop melting and spreading over a wettable pad; (ii) fibre reorientation related to the surface-tension-driven shrinkage of the drop surface area. At the end of stage (ii), the fibre is oriented along the pad. The experimental results for the optical-fibre assembly by a solder joint have been compared to the modelling results, and a reasonable agreement has been found. The major outcome of the experiments and modelling is that surface tension forces on the fibre piercing a drop align the fibre rather than the flow owing to the spreading of the drop over the horizontal pad, i.e. stage (ii) mostly contributes to the alignment.

A self-assembled, tetrameric water cluster stabilised by carboxyl-bridging has been characterised by X-ray diffraction studies and thermogravimetric analysis. Every water cluster is connected strongly via hydrogen bonds to four carboxyl oxygens of a terephthalate anion. The water rings are stable at room temperature, but when thermally decomposed, the water loss is irreversible.
