Formation of ultrathin hydrogel films on microcantilever devices using electrophoretic deposition
نویسنده
چکیده
Uniform hydrogel films from micro/nano-hydrogel particles were prepared on the silicon wafers and microcantilevers. These films were assembled on the substrates by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. The microcantilevers coated by such films responded to the environmental pH changes, indicating that the EPD could be used as a new method for modifying microcantilevers.
