However, approaches that provide precise control over surface chemistry at the nanometer scale are often challenging to use with higher throughput and in more heterogeneous environments (e.g., complex solutions, porous interfaces) common for many applications. Here, we demonstrate a scalable inkjet-based method to generate 1 nm-wide functional patterns on 2D materials such as graphite, which can then be transferred to soft materials such as hydrogels. We examine fluid dynamics associated with the inkjet printing process for low-viscosity amphiphile inks designed to maximize ordering with limited residue and show that microscale droplet fluid dynamics ACS applied materials & interfaces8055-8065https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC10875643biostudies-literatureInkjet Printing of Nanoscale Functional Patterns on 2D Crystalline Materials and Transfer to Soft Materials.PMC10875643Arango JCSingh APintro CJClaridge SAfalseInkjet Printing of Nanoscale Functional Patterns on 2D Crystalline Materials and Transfer to Soft Materials.Nanometer-scale control over surface functionality is important in applications ranging from nanoscale electronics to regenerative medicine.
