Abstract: An only inkjet-printing-based process for depositing functional materials, in various instances PZT, Bi-based material or (K,Na)-based material, on a substrate, in various instances platinized silicon. Substrate templating (via SAMs) and material deposition are both performed by an inkjet printing process. Additionally, a composition to be used as a SAM precursor ink which is a thiol in a solvent mixture. Further, a cartridge for a printing machine with such a composition. Still further, the use of such a cartridge, alone, or as a kit with another cartridge containing a precursor of the functional material, in particular to perform both steps of the printing method. Finally, a product, for instance a microsystem, obtained by the process.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing metal-CNT composites is disclosed. The method comprises providing an agglomerate of CNTs, filling interstices of the CNT agglomerate in a plating solution, so as to form a metal phase, in which the CNTs are embedded. The CNT agglomerate is compressed with a clamping appliance when the metal phase is formed. A further aspect of the invention relates to metal-CNT composites with high CNT content.

Abstract: A method for quantifying the extent and recurrence of a predetermined natural event, such as a flooding event, in a geographical area, in particular in spite of the absence of reliable data from sensors on the ground where the natural event develops. The method relies on remote sensing data, such as satellite imagery, and data processing, and reaps the benefits of computational models based on accurate remote sensing of the area under consideration.

Abstract: An aspect of the invention pertains to an affinity biosensor for sensing an analyte (a biomolecule) in a fluid, comprising an interface for contacting the fluid and adsorption of the analyte. The interface comprises a binary pattern of nanoscale regions having affinity for the analyte and a passivated region. The nanoscale regions are isolated from one another by the passivated region in such a way that adsorption of the analyte on the interface is confined to the nanoscale regions. The nanoscale regions have diameters comprised in the range from 5 to 200 nm. The nanoscale regions have together a surface area amounting to at least 15% of the surface area of the interface. A further aspect of the invention relates to a method of using such a sensor.

Abstract: A method for atomic layer deposition for the deposition of silicon oxide on a substrate, performed at room temperature, involving at least three precursors, being silicon tetrachloride, water and one Lewis base agent, being in various instances ammonia. The process comprises the steps of exposing on the substrate during an exposure time (a) the one Lewis base agent, (b) the silicon tetrachloride, and (c) the water. The process is remarkable in that at least one step of purge with nitrogen gas is performed after each of the steps (a), (b) and (c) during a purge time. Additionally, a film of silicon oxide which is remarkable in that it comprises a low level of chlorine contaminant and a significant degree of porosity with pores, the pores being in various instances micropores, mesopores or nanopores.
