    • Self-assembled synthesis and characterization of microchannels in polymeric membranes 

      Iqbal, Samir M.; Kahsai, Wintana T.; Pham, Uyen H. T.; Sankaran, Jeyantt S. (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 

      Iqbal, Samir M.; Asghar, Waseem; Billo, Joseph A.; Ilyas, Azhar (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 

      Iqbal, Samir M.; Asghar, Waseem; Billo, Joseph A.; Carter, Ronald L.; Jones, Jared (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 ...
