  • Screening of nanoparticle properties
    Patent number: 10408727
    Abstract: A nanoparticle screening chip and a method using said chip allowing for determining physical properties of nanoparticles, wherein the screening chip comprises a substrate having a working surface divided into a plurality of areas, wherein (1) each of these areas presents different surface properties defined by surface energy component (d,b,a), the total free energy ?TOT of the surface of each area being defined as follows: ?TOT=?LW+2(?+??)0.5, wherein the components are: ?LW=dispersive component=d, ?+=electron acceptor component=b, ??=electron donor component=a; and (2) each of these areas comprises a plurality of subareas, each subarea comprising an array of sub-micrometric holes or elongated grooves with a different aperture size (S1, S2, S3, . . . ).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 29, 2016
    Date of Patent: September 10, 2019
    Assignee: THE EUROPEAN UNION, REPRESENTED BY THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
    Inventors: Andrea Valsesia, Cloé Desmet, Pascal Colpo, François Rossi
