METHOD FOR THE MANUFACTURE OF NANOSTRUCTURED METAL COATINGS

CSIC and the University of Oporto have developed a method that combines lithographic printing techniques, aluminium anodizing for the manufacture of highly ordered nanoporous alumina templates and metal sputtering by which metal nanostructures with the same ordering pattern are obtained. These nanostructures can be used in different magnetic and nanoelectronic devices.

Industrial partners from the nanotechnology are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement.
