Nanopipette-based sensors are one of the most effective tools for detecting nanoparticles, bioparticles, and biomolecules. Quantitative analysis nanoparticles with different shapes electrical charges is achieved through measurement blockage currents that occur when particles pass nanopore. However, typical nanopipette fabricated using a conventional needle-pulling method have pore-diameter limi...

Development of flip-chip-on-glass (FCOG) assembly technology using anisotropic conductive adhesive/film (ACA/ACF) is currently underway to achieve fine pitch interconnections between driver IC and flat panel display. Conductive adhesives are characterized by fine-pitch capability and more environment compatibility. Anisotropic conductive adhesive/film (ACA/ACF) is composed of an adhesive resin ...

The main driving force for implementation of printing in manufacture of flexible electronics is the possibility to reduce the cost by high speed R2R processing at ambient conditions. This work focuses on characterization of inks that can be used to print simple components or layers for various applications in electronics. More specifically, inks containing conductive polymer, poly(3,4ethylenedi...

MODELING AND DATA ANALYSIS OF CONDUCTIVE POLYMER COMPOSITE SENSORS Hua Lei Department of Chemical Engineering Doctor of Philosophy Conductive polymer composite sensors have shown great potential in identifying gaseous analytes. To more thoroughly understand the physical and chemical mechanism of this type of sensors, a model was developed by combining two sub-models: a conductivity model and a ...

DNA templated nanowires of a pentynyl-modified poly2-(2-thienyl)-pyrrole undergo functionalisation via"click chemistry" and retain their 1D-nanostructure and conductive properties.

We have investigated the electrochemical synthetic mechanism of conductive polymer nanotubes in a porous alumina template using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) as a model compound. As a function of monomer concentration and potential, electropolymerization leads either to solid nanowires or to hollow nanotubes, and it is the purpose of these investigations to uncover the detailed mecha...
