To solve these problems, there is a need to develop a fundamental understanding of adhesion, friction/stiction, wear and the role of surface contamination and environment in MEMS/NEMS and BioMEMS/NEMS. This can be done by studying Nanotribology and nanomechanics of MEMS/NEMS materials Lubricant methods for MEMS/NEMS Bioadhesion Studies Development of superhydrophobic surfaces Device level studies Approach • Use an AFM/FFM for imaging and to study adhesion , friction, scratch and wear properties of materials and lubricants, which better simulates MEMS/NEMS and BioMEMS/BioNEMS contacts • Develop and employ techniques to measure tribological phenomena in devices B.

Nanoprobe Laboratory for Bio- & Nanotechnology and Biomimetics Lessons From Nature (Biomimetics) Biomimetics • Nature has gone through evolution over 3.8 billion years. It has evolved objects with high performance using commonly found materials. • Biomimetics means mimicking biology or natu re. It is deriv ed from a Greek word “biomimesis.” Other words used include bionics, biomimicry and biognosis. • Biomimetics involves taking ideas from nature and implementing them in an application. • Biological materials have hierarchical structure, made of commonly found materials. • It is estimated that the 100 largest biomimetic products had generated $1.5 billion over 2005-08. The annual sales are expected to continue to increase dramatically. M. Nosonovsky and B.

Karim*,‡ Polymer Program, Department of Chemistry, Howard University, Washington, DC 20059, and Polymers Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20899 Received February 23, 2005. In Final Form: June 14, 2005 Thin polymeric films are increasingly being utilized in diverse technological applications, and it is crucial to have a reliable method to characterize the stability of these films against dewetting. The parameter space that influences the dewetting of thin polymer films is wide (molecular mass, temperature, film thickness, substrate interaction) and a combinatorial method of investigation is suitable. We thus construct a combinatorial library of observations for polystyrene (PS) films cast on substrates having orthogonal temperature and surface energy gradients and perform a series of measurements for a range of molecular masses (1800 g/mol < M < 35 000 g/mol) and film thicknesses h (30 nm < h < 40 nm) to explore these primary parameter axes.

Current address: Materials Department, University of California, Santa Barbara. y Received: 25 April 2019; Accepted: 3 June 2019; Published: 7 June 2019 Abstract: Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) measurements of nanotribological properties of statistically diverse materials combinations of nanoparticles and substrate electrodes in aqueous suspensions are reported and compared to macroscale measurements of the same materials combinations for a subset of the nanoparticle combinations. Four ceramic nanoparticles, TiO2, SiO2, Al2O3, and maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) and ten substrate materials (Au, Al, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pt, SiO2, Al2O3, and SS304) were studied. The QCM technique was employed to measure frequency and motional resistance changes upon introduction of nanoparticles into the water surrounding its liquid-facing electrode. This series of experiments expanded prior studies that were often limited to a single nanoparticle - solid liquid combination. The variations in QCM response from one nanoparticle to another are observed to be far greater than the variation from one substrate to another, indicating that the nanoparticles play a larger role than the substrates in determining the frictional drag force levels.
