Controlling the Location and Spatial Extent of Nanobubbles Using Hydrophobically Nanopatterned Surfaces

The presence of nanobubbles—as imaged with tapping-mode atomic force microscopy— is controlled using nanopatterned surfaces possessing repeating patterns of polystyrene (hydrophobic domains) and polymethyl-methacrylate (hydrophilic domains). For nanobubbles to be present, we find that, in addition...
