Abstract:
Methods for making metal-based nanoparticles and inks are disclosed. In accordance with the method of the present invention, molecular metal precursors are reduced in the presence of a reaction medium to form the nanoparticles. The molecular metal precursors are preferably reduced by heating the metal precursor in the medium, by adding a reducing agent, such an aldehyde or a combination thereof. Metal precursor are preferably metal oxides, transition metal complexes or combination thereof. The method of the present invention is used to make high yield nanoparticles with a range of particle size distributions. Nanoparticle formed by the present invention include mixtures of nanoparticle, alloy nanoparticles, metal core shell nanoparticles or nanoparticle comprising a single metal species.

Abstract:
A method for cleaning a surface using a tool with both a cleaning head and a cleaning fluid reservoir housing coupled to an elongated handle, the method comprising the following steps: attaching a cleaning pad to the cleaning head; inserting a replaceable cleaning fluid reservoir into the housing; fluidically coupling the cleaning fluid reservoir to the cleaning head; dispensing controlled amounts of cleaning fluid from the reservoir onto a surface; and distributing the cleaning fluid evenly over the surface with the cleaning pad.

Abstract:
The present invention is directed to methods for making electronic devices with a thin anisotropic conducting layer interface layer formed between a substrate and an active device layer that is preferably patterned conductive layer. The interface layer preferably provides Ohmic and/or rectifying contact between the active device layer and the substrate and preferably provides good adhesion of the active device layer to the substrate. The active device layer is preferably fashioned from a nanoparticle ink solution that is patterned using embossing methods or other suitable printing and/or imaging methods. The active device layer is preferably patterned into an array of gate structures suitable for the fabrication of thin film transistors and the like.

Abstract:
A method of and device for controlled printing using liquid embossing techniques is disclosed. In accordance with the embodiments of the invention a stamp comprises a differentiated embossing surface with protruding and recessed surfaces to enhance the ability of the stamp to selectively displace liquid ink from a print surface and/or remove solvent from the liquid in a soft curing process. A stamp with differentiated surfaces is fabricated by selectively coating, or otherwise treating the protruding features, the recessed features, or a combination thereof, such that the surface energies and/or wettability of the protruding surfaces and the recessed surfaces are differentiated.
