dc.description.abstractSoft lithography provides remarkable surface patterning techniques to organize colloidal particles for a wide variety of applications. In particular, micromolding in capillaries (MIMIC) has emerged as a patterning method in the nanometer to micrometer scale in a single step by using templating and directing nanoparticles via capillary forces in the channel. The present work reports the results of the micropatterning of monodispersed silica particles of ~338 ± 2 nm size in ethanol medium, using MIMIC on silicon substrates. The effect of the concentration of silica particles on the patterning has been investigated. The patterns are well aligned and completely filled at 2 wt% concentration of silica particles.en_US
