ABSTRACT
We report an interesting approach for preparing micropatternings of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes and TiO(2) nanoparticles. In the method, exfoliation of electrodeposited Ni thin films was the key process. After patterning indium thin oxide (ITO) plates with an insulating photoresist by conventional photolithography, Ni was electrodeposited on only the exposed ITO areas. The resulting substrates were evenly covered with nanomaterials by a drop cast method. By exfoliating the electrodeposited Ni thin films from the substrates, patterned nanomaterial films were formed.
