Abstract:

A new approach for the local deposition of sol-gel films on conducting and insulating surfaces using scanning electrochem. microscopy (SECM) via the feedback and direct modes is presented. Patterning is based on enhancing sol-gel condensation by altering the local pH due to H2O electrolysis as a result of applying neg. potentials. [on SciFinder(R)]
