Abstract
A method of nanoparticle printing including: contacting a printing plate with a target substrate, while the printing plate is contacting the target substrate, illuminating nanoparticies on the printing plate with intense flashes of LASER light, or subjecting the nanoparticles to microwave radiation, such that energy is selectively transferred into the particles, increasing a local temperature of the particles which causes an increased interaction of the particles with the target substrate and produces a strong junction and removes the particles from the printing plate; and peeling off the printing plate from the target substrate.
Claims1
A method of nanoparticle printing, comprising:
- contacting a printing plate with a target substrate,
- while the printing plate is contacting the target substrate, illuminating nanoparticles on the printing plate with intense flashes of LASER light, or subjecting the nanoparticles to microwave radiation, such that energy is selectively transferred into the particles, increasing a local temperature of the particles which causes an increased interaction of the particles with the target substrate and produces a strong junction and removes the particles from the printing plate;
- and
- peeling off the printing plate from the target substrate.
