title = "Preprogrammed self-arrangement of nanomaterials on a substrate",
abstract = "A parallel assembly technique called preprogrammed self-arrangement (PSA) was developed using a colloidal deposition method. Nanoparticles (NPs) were arranged inside a pre-determined pattern of nano-dimples on a polymer layer, and they were used as a template for nanowire (NW) assembly. Because the PSA uses a driven water meniscus to manipulate nano-objects, control of the water contact angle and its effect on the nano-objects against the polymer substrate along with other forces is of critical importance. The optimized conditions to drive nano-objects using the water meniscus will be demonstrated with the assembly result.",
