Polydimethylsiloxane based microfluidic diode
In this paper, we present a novel elastomer-based microfluidic device for rectifying flow. The device is analogous to an electronic diode in function since it allows flow in one direction and stops flow in the opposing direction. The device is planar, in-line and can be replica molded via standard soft lithography techniques. The fabrication process is outlined in detail and follows a simple pr...
متن کاملPolydimethylsiloxane-Based Self-Healing Materials
Self-healing represents a new paradigm for active and responsive materials. As first demonstrated by White et al., and subsequently in additional publications, polymer composites can be engineered to chemically self-heal. However, the chemistry of previous systems possesses inherent shortcomings due to the potential side reactions with the polymer matrix and air. Here we present a new, chemical...
متن کاملMagnetorheological polydimethylsiloxane micro-optical resonator.
We investigate the possibility of using magnetorheological polydimethylsiloxane (MR-PDMS) spheres as micro-optical resonators. In particular, the effect of a magnetic field on the whispering gallery modes (WGM) of these resonators is studied. The applied field induces mechanical deformation, causing shifts in the WGM. The microspheres are made of PDMS with embedded magnetically polarizable part...
متن کاملWetting transparency of graphene.
We report that graphene coatings do not significantly disrupt the intrinsic wetting behaviour of surfaces for which surface-water interactions are dominated by van der Waals forces. Our contact angle measurements indicate that a graphene monolayer is wetting-transparent to copper, gold or silicon, but not glass, for which the wettability is dominated by short-range chemical bonding. With increa...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Wetting
When a nonequilibrium growing interface in the presence of a wall is considered a nonequilibrium wetting transition may take place. This transition can be studied trough Langevin equations or discrete growth models. In the first case, the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation, which defines a very robust universality class for nonequilibrium moving interfaces, with a soft-wall potential is considered. W...
