Self-assembled synthesis and characterization of microchannels in polymeric membranes
(American Institute of Physics,Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington, 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;Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, 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;Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas at Arlington, 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 ...
