Superhydrophobic surfaces have been used in various fields of engineering due to their resistance corrosion and fouling ability control fluid movement. Traditionally, superhydrophobic are fabricated via chemical methods changing the surface energy or mechanical controlling topology. Many conventional use a top-to-bottom scheme topolopy. Here, we develop novel fabrication method substrates using bottom-to-top polymer OSTE, which is prototyping material developed for microchips its superior...
Plasma separation is of high interest for lateral flow tests using whole blood as sample liquids. Here, we built a passive microfluidic device plasma with performance. This was made by filtration membrane and off-stoichiometry thiol-ene (OSTE) pillar forest. OSTE forest fabricated double replica moldings laser-cut polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) mold, which has uniform microstructure. utilized to separate from samples used hydrophilic the capillary pump propel plasma. The can be purity later...
In this work, we developed a protocol to fabricate off-stoichiometry thiol-ene (OSTE) microstructures with round cross-section - aqueous replica molding of OSTE, which is simpler and faster than traditional methods. Briefly, generated hydrophilic regions on hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrate, then soaked the PDMS substrate into mixture glycerol water, formed patterned liquid it. After that, dropped photocurable polymer OSTE liquid, cured it in seconds. Hemispheric microwells...
Microneedles have been used in various applications biomedical engineering, including drug delivery, biosensing, and vaccine delivery. In this study, we develop a novel protocol to fabricate silk fibroin/off-stoichiometry thiol-ene (OSTE) hybrid microneedle array patches. Silk fibroin, as natural biomaterial, has proven be suitable carrier. Firstly, (we use insulin experiment) dissolved fibroin solution is deposited on mold dried thoroughly. After that, needle tips are formed the OSTE base...
Many applications in micro-tissue engineering need to use concave microwells and microchannels mimic the vivo microenvironment, such as culture of spheroids construction artificial blood vessels. Here, we propose a novel method fabrication by off-stoichiometry thiol-ene (OSTE) backside lithography. At first, OSTE lithography fabricate convex microstructures on solid substrate assisted diffusing glass. Then for replica molding gelatin or agarose gel get substrate. Our brings convenience...
As an important target of point-of-care diagnostics, hematocrit is closely related to the health condition human beings. Here, we developed a paper microfluidic chip for quantitative measurement. The chips were pretreated by sodium chloride, which would cause dehydration red blood cells and affect their flow abilities in porous nitrocellulose paper. Plasma flowed ahead separated from whole sample. We used area plasma region as index refer hematocrit, built linear calibration curve versus...
Capillary flow rate control is interesting for biosensors based on nitrocellulose membranes. This paper introduces a method to capillary rates membranes by simply pressing the using household laminator. By applying pressure membranes, we can easily change thickness of membrane and therefore pore size porous structure. We also notice that break some fibers. investigate influence measuring treated different pressure, check their capacity water absorption. find decrease with treatment reduce up...
