| Abstract Scope |
Integration of metal nanoparticles (MeNPs) into three-dimensional (3D) micro/nanoscale structures without disturbing the quality and resolution of two photon polymerization (2PP) processes has attracted considerable attention in various applications including nanophotonics, micro-electrochemical systems, microelectronics, and tissue engineering and drug delivery. Here we report three complementary strategies for integration of MeNPs with 2PP process: in-situ formation of MeNPs through a single-step photoreduction process, integration of pre-formed MeNPs into 2PP resin, and site-selective MeNPs decoration of 3D 2PP structures. We demonstrate successful fabrication of high-fidelity structures with incorporated MeNPs and provide detailed morphological and compositional analysis including advanced time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) mapping results. These complementary strategies open up a broad range of prospective applications from metamaterials and nano/micro-photonics to optoelectronics and biomedicine. |
