Directed self-assembly of polymers and nanotubes into air-suspended bridges
R. W. Cohn, R. S. Keynton, G. H. McKinley, G. N. Tew

Polymers dissolved in volatile solvents can be directed to self-assemble into suspended nanofiber bridges through surface tension driven capillary thinning. This points towards a single step approach to forming suspended 3D structures in a considerably more simple way than by standard microfabrication processes. Fibers form when the polymer liquid is brushed by hand over a corrugated...
