Compact discs as versatile cost-effective substrates for releasable nanopatterned aluminium films

Nanoscale. 2015 Feb 28;7(8):3435-9. doi: 10.1039/c4nr06271j.

Abstract

We demonstrate that standard polycarbonate compact disk surfaces can provide unique adhesion to Al films that is both strong enough to permit Al film nanopatterning and weak enough to allow easy nanopatterned Al film detachment using Scotch tape. Transferred Al nanohole arrays on Scotch tape exhibit excellent optical and plasmonic performance.
