We propose a novel patterning method for self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) using near-field photothermal desorption (NPTD). This paper reports the patterning principle and the study on optimum heating conditions. The proposed method utilizes the thermal desorption of constituent molecules of a SAM through the irradiation with near-field light. which can make noncontact and noncontamina... https://www.roneverhart.com/Propper-Synergy-Wildland-Shirt/
