Microscale assembly directed by liquid-based template.
A liquid surface established by standing waves is used as a dynamically reconfigurable template to assemble microscale materials into ordered, symmetric structures in a scalable and parallel manner. The broad applicability of this technology is illustrated by assembling diverse materials from soft matter, rigid bodies, individual cells, cell spheroids and cell-seeded microcarrier beads.
متن کاملDirected Fluidic Self-assembly of Microscale Tiles
In this paper we present a novel microfabrication method in which regular, micro-scaled units are made to self-assemble into arbitrary, reconfigurable structures. We describe a series of experiments that involve the assembly of silicon microtiles in a multilayer PDMS microchamber. By controlling the local flow conditions in a microchannel array, the attraction, bonding, migration, and rejection...
متن کاملEmerging technologies for assembly of microscale hydrogels.
Assembly of cell encapsulating building blocks (i.e., microscale hydrogels) has significant applications in areas including regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and cell-based in vitro assays for pharmaceutical research and drug discovery. Inspired by the repeating functional units observed in native tissues and biological systems (e.g., the lobule in liver, the nephron in kidney), assemb...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly: From Nanoscale to Microscale Colloids
Self-assembly is a fundamental mechanism by which structures form in materials. Over the past decades, a primary focus has been to relate materials’ behaviors to the spatial arrangement of their fundamental building blocks. These building blocks may comprise atoms, molecules, macromolecules and colloidal particles. It is well known that the same chemical substance can have vastly different prop...
متن کاملMicroscale liquid phase separations.
Miniaturization and microfabrication of analytical instrumentation for chemical and biological analyses has been proceeding at a rapid pace for a few decades, and has gained momentum in the past decade with the introduction and application of microfabricated instruments. Motivating factors for performing microscale separations and analyses are reduced reagent, solvent and sample consumption, re...
