Fabrication and applications of metallic and polymeric smart materials using two-photon lithography by Lee, Mian Rong

“…I aim to fabricate monodisperse, dense gold nanoparticle microstructures where the physical and optical properties can be tuned by varying surfactant concentration, and fabricate these microstructures within a microfluidic channel for SERS sensing of small gaseous molecules (chapter 4). I also recognise that the precision and morphology of fabricated metallic structures are largely dependent on the fabrication parameters and composition of the photoresist used, however, an investigation into the effects of varying fabrication parameters on the resulting structure is lacking. …”
