Polymeric materials possess many attractive properties such as high toughness and
recyclability. Some possess excellent biocompatibility, are biodegradable, and can provide …

Two prepared silicon wafers bearing cationic and anionic polyelectrolyte brushes were
joined with 2 μL of water under 0.098 MPa of pressure at room temperature. The bonded …

Supercritical CO2 has been shown to act as a disinfectant against microorganisms. These
organisms have most often been tested in vegetative or spore form. Since biofilm organisms …

A novel biologically benign technique was developed to produce three-dimensional tissue
engineering scaffolds with well-defined structure. Photolithography was used to design and …

Two major concerns in the design and fabrication of microfluidic biochips are protein binding
on the channel surface and protein denaturing during device assembly. In this paper, we …

Recently, CO2 has been intensely studied as a promising fluid to process or modify
biomaterials. The thermodynamic behavior of CO2–polymer mixtures plays an essential role …

In this paper, we describe an interstitial bonding technique for packaging of microfluidic
chips. The cover plate is first placed on top of the microfluidic chip, followed by dispensing …

This paper presents a novel method using UV epoxy resin for the bonding of glass blanks
and patterned plates at room temperature. There is no need to use a high-temperature …

A novel supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2)‐assisted low‐temperature assembly approach to
fabricate cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) ferroelectrets is reported. The process takes …

Microscale polymeric structures with intricate three-dimensional (3D) shapes and nanoscale
features were synthesized by using silica-based microshells of diatoms (unicellular algae) …
