Nanostructures for Medical Diagnostics
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation;, 2011-10-19)
Nanotechnology is the art of manipulating materials on atomic or molecular scales especially to build nanoscale structures and devices. The field is expanding quickly, and a lot of work is ongoing in the design, characterization, ...
Self-assembled synthesis and characterization of microchannels in polymeric membranes
(American Institute of Physics,, 2012-07-19)
This article describes a novel self-assembly approach to create microchannels in polydimethylsiloxane
(PDMS) membranes using poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and polyurethane (PU). The interactions
between hydrophilic PEO/PU ...
Shrinking of Solid-state Nanopores by Direct Thermal Heating
(Asghar et al;SpringerOpen;, 2011-05-04)
Solid-state nanopores have emerged as useful single-molecule sensors for DNA and proteins. A novel and simple technique for solid-state nanopore fabrication is reported here. The process involves direct thermal heating of ...
Viscosity and surface-free energy effects in thermal shrinking of solid-state nanopores
(American Institute of Physics;, 2012-06-05)
Solid-state nanopores are fabricated by either drilling these in thin membranes or by shrinking large pores with electron/ion beam. Simple heating of thin membranes with many large pores has been shown recently to controllably ...
Microheater platform for selective detachment of DNA
(American Institute of Physics;, 2012-08-30)
Despite deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)’s well-known temperature sensitivity, not much work has been reported on leveraging temperature to manipulate the interaction of DNA with surfaces. This paper describes a microheater ...
Porous Organic Nanolayers for Coating of Solid-state Devices
(BioMed Central ;, 2011-05-14)
Highly hydrophobic surfaces can have very low surface energy and such low surface energy biological interfaces can be obtained using fluorinated coatings on surfaces. Deposition of biocompatible organic films on solid-state ...
