Today I will show you some pictures of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) of several nanostructured-materials I made in my lab. They were mostly made by diamond coating (RF CVD/RF Chemical Vapor Deposition) on a prepatterned-polymer (soft lithography). Surprisingly, the structures consisted of micro- and nano-wave with dots-like undulation. This phenomena is believed to be the effect of nanoscale wrinkling process between a high intrinsic stress of diamond to the soft polymer. The applications ranged from the mimick of superhydrophobic surfaces of lotus leaf to anti wear coating for stents in biomedical devices. Next time let’s see many other beauties of nanoworld in tissue and biological engineering.

Thanks my friend, and we have tonnes of another huge mysteries in nature. They made us so small

Iya bro, terimakasih atas komentarnya. Gw sebenarnya lbh ke arah fundamentalnya mikro/nano fabrikasi bro krn background gw dr mechanical. tp krn aplikasinya banyakan di tissue dan biological eng ya mau ga mau mesti bljr yg bginian. Gw sendiri butuh banyak masukan dari bidang materials science spt yg ente geluti. So, terus support yah bro, thnx.
