Designed polymer surface for cell separation and related technology.

Cell Separation Technology

The cell, the basic functional unit of all organisms, has been considered as a key to the solution of human diseases and environmental problems because it contains a lot of information to be disclosed. In many biological and its related experiments, the work of handling a cell is an important initial step to have further experimental results. However, the handling of a cell still require a skil...

Use of Microfluidic Technology for Cell Separation

The cell is the basic functional unit within a tissue or an organ. Methods that can be used to probe the cell, so as to understand, or even manipulate its interrelated processes, pathways, and/or overall functioning, are of great scientific and commercial value. Research efforts in molecular biology, biochemistry, and biotechnology over the last two decades have created high demand for efficien...

Phase-Separation-Induced Surface Patterns in Thin Polymer Blend Films

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), neutron reflection (NR) and secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) are used to examine phase separation in symmetrically segregating thin polymer blend films (e1000 Å). Phase separation in the film leads to undulations of the liquid-air interface, provided the film is sufficiently thin to suppress surface-directed spinodal decomposition waves. Flattened droplets a...

An NLP Approach for Evolution of Heat Exchanger Networks Designed by Pinch Technology

Common methods to design heat exchanger networks (HENs) by pinch technology usually need an evolutionary step to reduce the number of heat transfer units. This step <span style="font-size: 10pt; color:...
