Abstract
We report an unexpectedly high chemical stability of molecular solid 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) under static high pressures. In contrast to the high-pressure behavior of the majority of molecular solids, TATB remains both chemically stable and an insulator to 150 GPa--well above the predicted metallization pressure of 120 GPa. Single crystal studies have shown that TATB exhibits pressure-induced Raman changes associated with two subtle structural phase transitions at 28 and 56 GPa. These phase transitions are accompanied by remarkable color changes, from yellow to orange and to dark red with increasing pressure. We suggest that the high-stability of TATB arises as a result of its hydrogen-bonded aromatic two-dimensional (2D) layered structure and highly repulsive interlayer interaction, hindering the formation of 3D networks or metallic states.

Abstract
The patterning of liquid thin films on solid surfaces is very important in various fields of science and engineering related to surfaces and interfaces. A method of nanometer-scale patterning of a molecularly thin liquid film on a silicon substrate using the lyophobicity of the oxide nanostructures has recently been reported (Fukuzawa, K.; Deguchi, T.; Kawamura, J.; Mitsuya, Y.; Muramatsu, T.; Zhang, H. Appl. Phys. Lett. 2005, 87, 203108). However, the origin of the lyophobicity of the nanostructure with a height of around 1 nm, which was fabricated by probe oxidation, has not yet been clarified. In the present study, the change in thickness of the liquid film on mesa-shaped nanostructures and the wettability for the various combinations of the thickness of the liquid films and the height of ridge-shaped nanostructures were investigated. These revealed that lyophobicity is caused by a lowering of the intermolecular interaction between the liquid and silicon surfaces by the nanostructure and enables the patterning of a liquid film along it. The tendency of the wettability for a given liquid film and nanostructure size can be predicted by estimating the contributions of the intermolecular interaction and capillary pressure. In this method, the height of the nanostructure can control the wettability. These results can provide a novel method of nanoscale patterning of liquid thin films, which will be very useful in creating new functional surfaces.

Abstract
Alkanethiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) have been used in electrochemical microfabrication processes. The reductive desorption potential of alkanethiol SAMs, Edes, can be comparable to, greater than, or less than the metal reduction potential during electrodeposition, Emet. As a result, the SAM layer can passivate the surface or desorb simultaneously with metal deposition. We show that these electrochemical traits can be combined with a rastering microjet electrode to pattern SAMs directly and create patterned metal films without lithography steps. For the case of copper deposition on 1-octanethiol (OT)- and 1-dodecanethiol (DT)-coated substrates, Edes is significantly negative of Emet, resulting in high-resolution metal patterns with poor nucleation and poor adhesion to the substrate. However, nickel patterns deposited on 1-butanethiol (BT), OT, and DT have traits similar to bare gold (excellent nucleation and adhesion) because Edes is positive of Emet. Substrates with SAMs also suppress adventitious chemistries that occur distant from the rastering microjet electrode, such as oxygen reduction, making samples more corrosion resistant and improving the overall patterning process that we call electrochemical printing.

Abstract
We have demonstrated three simple strategies employing poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) molds for patterning carbon surfaces with two different modifiers in an 18 microm line pattern. The PDMS molds are patterned with microfluidic channels (approximately 22 microm wide and 49 microm deep) and form a reversible, conformal seal to the pyrolyzed photoresist film (PPF) and modified PPF surfaces. Modifiers are electrochemically grafted to the PPF surface by the reduction of aryl diazonium salts and the oxidation of primary amines. For the fill-in patterning approach, the first modifier is electrografted to the PPF surface exposed within the microchannels, and in a second grafting step after removal of the PDMS mold, the second modifier fills in the remaining surface. The selective conversion strategy involves electrografting a continuous film of the modifier to the PPF surface, sealing the PDMS mold to the modified surface and carrying out an irreversible electrochemical reaction of the modifier exposed within the microchannels. In the build-up patterning approach, the PDMS mold is sealed to the modified PPF surface, and a chemical coupling reaction is effected in the microchannels to build up the pattern. The patterns are characterized using SEM, optical microscopy, the formation of condensation figures, and SEM imaging after the assembly of Au nanoparticles.

Abstract
We report the formation of microscopic patterns of substrate-supported, 3D planar colloidal crystals using physical confinement in conjunction with surfaces displaying predetermined binary patterns of hydropholicity. The formation process involves a primary self-assembly wherein nano- and microscale colloids order into a photonic fcc lattice via capillary interactions followed by a secondary template-induced crystal cleavage step. Following this method, arbitrary arrays of pattern elements, which preserve structural and orientational properties of the parent crystal, can be easily obtained.

Abstract
We show that two dips of an oxidized silicon substrate through a prepolymerized n-octadecylsiloxane monolayer at an air-water interface in a rapid succession produces periodic, linear striped patterns in film morphology extending over macroscopic area of the substrate surface. Langmuir monolayers of n-octadecyltrimethoxysilane were prepared at the surface of an acidic subphase (pH 2) maintained at room temperature (22 +/- 2 degrees C) under relative humidities of 50-70%. The substrate was first withdrawn at a high dipping rate from the quiescent aqueous subphase (upstroke) maintained at several surface pressures corresponding to a condensed monolayer state and lowered soon after at the same rate into the monolayer covered subphase (downstroke). The film structure and morphology were characterized using a combination of optical microscopy, imaging ellipsometry, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. An extended striped pattern, perpendicular to the pushing direction of the second stroke, resulted for all surface pressures when the dipping rate exceeded a threshold value of 40 mm min(-1). Below this threshold value, uniform deposition characterizing formation of a bimolecular film was obtained. Under conditions that favored striped deposition during the downstroke through the monolayer-covered interface, we observed a periodic auto-oscillatory behavior of the meniscus. The stripes appear to be formed by a highly correlated reorganization and/or exchange of the first monolayer, mediated by the Langmuir monolayer at the air-water interface. This mechanism appears distinctly different from nanometer scale stripes observed recently in single transfers of phospholipid monolayers maintained near a phase boundary. The stripes further exhibit wettability patterns useful for spatially selective functionalization, as demonstrated by directed adsorptions of an organic dye (fluorescein) and an oil (hexadecane).

Abstract
We demonstrated that the photopatterned single-layer adsorption film of poly(1-dodecyl-4-pyridinium bromide) on a silica surface was available for a template of nickel-phosphorus (Ni-P) electroless plating through sensitization with a SnCl(2) aqueous solution and activation with a PdCl(2) aqueous solution. Four kinds of poly(1-alkyl-4-vinylpyridinium halide)s bearing methyl, propyl, hexyl, and dodecyl groups were prepared. The cationic polymers were adsorbed by a negatively charged silica surface from their solutions, to form single-layer adsorption films exhibiting desorption-resistance toward deionized water and ethanol. The organic adsorption films could be decomposed completely by exposure to 172 nm deep-UV light. The formation and decomposition of the single-layer films were confirmed by deep-UV absorption spectral measurement and zeta-potential measurement. Ni-P electroless plating was carried out on the photopatterned adsorption films, using three types of SnO(x) colloidal materials without and with cationic or anionic surfactant as catalyst precursors in the sensitization step. In the case of the negatively charged SnO(x) colloids surrounded by anionic surfactant, Ni-deposition took place preferentially on the cationic adsorption films remaining in unexposed regions. The Ni-deposition was accelerated significantly on the cationic adsorption film bearing dodecyl groups. It was obvious by ICP-AES analyses that the hydrophobic long-chain dodecyl groups in the adsorption film could promote the adsorption of the negative SnO(x) colloids on the film surface, followed by much nucleus formation of zerovalent Pd catalysts useful for the electroless plating. The result of our experiment clearly showed that, in addition to electrostatic interaction, van der Waals interaction generating between the hydrophobic long-chain hydrocarbons of the adsorption film and the surfactant improved significantly the adsorption stability of the SnO(x) colloids, resulting in highly selective Ni-deposition in accord with the photopattern shape of the cationic single-layer adsorption film.

Abstract
The development of a methodology to manipulate surface properties of a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of alkanethiol on a gold film using direct laser patterning is the objective of this paper. The present study demonstrates proof of the concept for the feasibility of laser patterning monolayers and outlines theoretical modeling of the process to predict the resulting feature size. This approach is unique in that it eliminates the need for photolithography, is noncontact, and can be extended to other systems such as SAMs on silicon wafers or potentially polymeric substrates. A homogeneous SAM made of 1-hexadecanethiol is formed on a 300-A sputtered film of gold (supported by a soda lime glass substrate). Localized regions are then desorbed by scanning the focal spot of a 488-nm continuous-wave argon ion laser beam under a nitrogen atmosphere. The desorption occurs as a result of a high substrate temperature produced by the moving laser beam with a Gaussian spatial profile at a constant speed of 200 microm/s. After completing the scans, the sample is dipped into a dilute solution of 16-mercaptohexadecanoic acid and a hydrophilic monolayer self-assembles along the previously irradiated regions. The resultant lines are viewed, and line widths are measured using both wetting with tridecane under a light microscope and scanning electron microscopy. Using the direct laser patterning method, we have produced straight line patterns with widths of 28-170 microm. A thermal model was constructed to predict the line width of the desorbed monolayer. The effect of the laser power, beam waist, and temperature dependence of the substrate conductivity on the theoretical predictions is considered. It is shown that the theoretical predictions are in good agreement with the experimental results, and, thus, the model can effectively be used to predict experimental results.
