Bober, Brittany A.; Ogata, Jennifer K.; Martinez, Veronica E.; Hallinan, Janae J.; Leach, Taylor A.; Negru, Bogdan – Journal of Chemical Education, 2018
Surface structures on the nanometer size scale can impart new and exciting properties to bulk materials. Nanoscopic structures on hydrophobic materials can result in superhydrophobicity and structural coloration. We present an interdisciplinary experiment that introduces undergraduate students to nanotechnology by manipulating the…
