Layer-by-Layer Assembly of Free-Standing Nanofilms by Controlled Rolling
A water surface not
only provides a habitat to many living organisms
but also opens up new possibilities to develop state-of-the-art technologies.
Here, we show a technology for the layer-by-layer assembly of free-standing
nanofilms by controlled rolling. The water surface is exploited as
an ideal platform for rolling a nanofilm, allowing adhesion control
and frictionless feeding. The nanofilm floating on the water surface
is attached to a tube by van der Waals adhesion and is rolled up by
the rotation of the tube. This method can assemble diverse film materials
including metals, polymers, and two-dimensional materials, with an
easy control of the number of layers. Furthermore, heterogeneous and
spiral structures of the nanofilm are achieved. Various applications
such as a stretchable tubular electrode, an electroactive polymer
tube actuator, and a superelastic nanofilm tube are demonstrated.
We believe this work can potentially lead to a breakthrough in the
nanofilm assembly processes
