Asymmetric printing of molecules and zeolites on self assembled monolayers

Nanoscale. 2010 Apr;2(4):601-5. doi: 10.1039/b9nr00285e. Epub 2010 Jan 28.

Abstract

Microcontact printing (mCP) is used to immobilize dyes and peptides asymmetrically, by a "peptide coupling" reaction, on monolayers of zeolite L crystals in the contact area between the stamp and the surface of the monolayer. Chemically patterned surfaces of monolayers of zeolite L crystals are obtained by using patterned stamps with different ink solutions. Additional printing of functionalized nano-objects on SAMs of zeolite L crystals is demonstrated.
