Abstract

The most important aspect of fabrication of Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs) based devices/sensors is the selective and controlled positioning of CNTs, which is a challenging issue for the researchers now a days. Here, we have presented a simple and efficient methodology for positioning of CNTs using 16-MHA self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), written over the gold substrate using Dip-pen Nanowriting (DPN). The analysis of the obtained AFM images clearly shows significant height increment of nanopatterns, which corresponds to the attachment of carbonaceous material over the written nanopatterns. Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs), Dip-pen Nanowriting (DPN), 16-MHA, 1-ODT and Self-assembled Monolayer (SAM).
