    Directed assembly of nanoparticles to isolated diatom valves using the non-wetting characteristics after pyrolysis
    (Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014) Jantschke, A.; Fischer, C; Hensel, Rene; Braun, H.-G.; Brunner, E
    A novel strategy for a directed nanoparticle coupling to isolated Stephanopyxis turris valves is presented. After pyrolysis, the valves exhibit incomplete wetting due to their characteristic T-shaped profiles as a prerequisite for a regioselective coupling reaction. A micromanipulation system allows for precise handling and their immobilization onto an adhesive substrate and manipulation into arrays.
