Additive chemical nanomanufacturing
Dr. Felix Löffler, Max-Planck-Institut für Kolloid- und Grenzflächenforschung, Potsdam
3D printing technologies have revolutionized manufacturing, enabling highly customized polymer structures. Building on this, we aim to extend such customization to chemical synthesis. We have developed a laser-based additive polymer printing technology, incorporating various chemical building blocks and post-synthesis chemical modifications. This technology enables flexible parallel chemical synthesis, surface functionalization, and biomedical screening applications [1, 2]. Using our platform, we achieve targeted material synthesis, such as defined metal oxide and perovskite nanoparticles [3, 4], as well as fluorescent carbon nanodots [5]. This additive chemical nanomanufacturing process opens pathways for designing nanomaterials and functional nanodevices, including those for anti-counterfeiting [6].
