Easy Fabrication of Non-Reflecting and Self-Cleaning Silicon and Plastic Surfaces

ScienceDaily (Nov. 4, 2010) — The Microfabrication group of Aalto University which specializes in microfabrication and microfludics has developed a new and rapid method for fabrication of non-reflecting and self-cleaning surfaces. Surface properties are based on the nanostructured surface. The research results were just published in the journal Advanced Materials.

The most laborious part the fabrication process was excluded when the Aalto University's Microfabrication group developed a novel maskless method for fabrication of pyramid-shaped nanostructures on a silicon surface using deep reactive ion etching. The nanostructured silicon wafer can be further used as a template to create an ealstomeric stamp, which can be used to replicate the original non-reflective and self-cleaning nanostructure into the different polymers.

Smooth silicon surfaces are mirror-like and they reflect more than 50 percent of incoming light, while nanostructured silicon and polymeric surfaces are almost completely non-reflecting. The reflectance is reduced at broad wavelength range due to smooth refractive index transition from air to substrate because of the nanostructures, says Lauri Sainiemi from Microfabrication group.

Non-reflecting surfaces and their fabrication methods are hot research topics because they are needed in realization of more efficient solar cells. Similar nanostructured silicon and polymeric surfaces can also be utilized in chemical analysis, because low reflectance is needed in analysis procedure. The second beneficial property of the surfaces is self-cleaning, which is based on nanostructures, which are coated with a thin low surface energy film.

The applications of the developed nanofabrication methods for silicon and polymers range from sensors to solar cells. The biggest strength of the fabrication methods is their scalability and possibility to large scale industrial manufacturing. I believe that there is interest because our fabrication methods enable simple and low-cost manufacturing of nanostructures on large areas and the methods are compatible with single-crystalline, poly-crystalline and amorphous silicon as well as wide variety of different polymers, concludes Sainiemi.

The group has already developed surfaces for chemical analysis of drugs in collaboration with other research groups and that research will continue in future. An interesting novel field is the development of more effective self-cleaning and dirt-repellant surfaces that would especially benefit solar cell research. The fabrication of water-repellent surfaces is fairly straightforward, but liquids with low surface tension can still contaminate the surface. At the moment we are developing novel surfaces that also repel oily liquids.

happy halloween!!

hey everybody. We have been working hard this week to provide superior electrical and energy services to all our customers. i want to give a shout out to some of our new customers that have called for our professional and top quality services. Frank from San Bernardino, The Burlington coat factory in both Moreno valley and apple valley, Nada from Rancho Mirage (what up girl!!), and everyone else who has either enquire about our services. Lets keep it going, refer a friend, check us out on face book and follow us on twitter. Remember, it is the holiday season and we can help with all your decorating ideas, as to make sure that circuit can handle an electrical load of 5,000 lights, or installing those light and ornaments on that 2 story roof. Give us a call or check us out @ lwelectrical.com and find out why we are the best at providing the best customer service and the best electrical technicians in southern California.

this is where it starts!!!

NEW DELHI: The government will make it mandatory for mobile phone towers to be powered by solar energy, hoping to cut pollution and tamp down a key driver of diesel consumption in the country. But this would raise construction costs by up to 50% for cellphone operators such as Bharti, Vodafone and Reliance Communications . “We are working on a new scheme that will support adoption of greener practices by telecos while rolling out their services for...



and when this is successful there it will be done here in the U.S. So hopefully this will bring more jobs to the U.S. and help our economy

Lets keep this going!!!!!

We are proud to announce all the new customers we have serviced this week.
