Objective
You will:
• become familiar with techniques used in nanotechnology.
• design and make a stamp for patterning a silver surface.
• pattern a silver surface by stamping a single layer of molecules onto it.
• test the properties of the patterned silver surface.

Motivation
• Printing large area electronic devices--such as wide-screen televisions.
• Printing these electronic devices on flexible materials like plastic.
• Microcontact printing can pattern large area electronic devices on flexible materials at a low cost.

Micro contact printing:
is a prefix that means one millionth.says that two objects are touching.takes place when a material like ink is transferred by the contact.
transfers ink in a very small pattern from a rubber stamp onto another surface.
