We are pleased to announce our latest contribution to the book Nano-Engineering at Functional Interfaces for Multidisciplinary Applications: Electrochemistry, Photoplasmonics, Antimicrobial and Anticarcinogenic Applications, edited by Sai Sathish Ramamurthy, Seemesh Bhaskar, and Narendra Reddy.
Our chapter, titled Nano-engineering of functional metasurfaces by template-assisted self-assembly, authored by Swagato and Tobi, explores innovative strategies for designing functional metasurfaces using template-assisted self-assembly. This approach integrates both top-down and bottom-up fabrication techniques, combining precision lithography with scalable nanostructuring methods.
Key Highlights of Our Chapter:
- Challenges in Nanotechnology
Addressing material efficiency, performance enhancement, and stability. - Metasurface Engineering
Utilizing presynthesized nanoparticles, responsive polymers, and tailored templates. - Hybrid Fabrication Techniques
Combining top-down lithography for structured templates with bottom-up self-assembly via controlled solvent evaporation. - Scalability & Applications
Employing laser interference and soft lithography to create large-area templates for applications in sensing, energy, and spectroscopy.
Special thanks to Seemesh Bhaskar for organizing this insightful book and for inviting us to contribute. We look forward to engaging discussions on how template-assisted self-assembly can revolutionize nanophotonics and optoelectronic applications.
