Welcome to dpnforum

Purpose

DPNFORUM has been created to serve the needs of an increasingly vibrant academic and industrial community utilizing Dip Pen Nanolithography (DPN).  We hope you find the site useful, and we always appreciate feedback (please email us).

Utility

DPNFORUM has been organized to accommodate a wide variety of people.  In the discussion forums you will find an active community using standardized phpBB message boards to communicate and collaborate.  Our research literature page provides an up-to-date summary of DPN-related papers, along with annotated bibliographies, review papers, and summaries of literature by application areas.  Extending the information provided in the literature, we've assembled Ink/Substrate Methods to document and propagate the in-lab protocols for different families DPN inks and substrates.  DPN Resources is a collection of datasheets, technology notes, and application notes developed by NanoInk for the purpose of aiding DPN practitioner's R&D efforts.  Finally, in an effort to foster communication and collaboration between DPN researchers, we provide links to research groups' websites, along with the links we've found useful in our own DPN work.
