A tool for studying contact electrification in systems comprising metals and insulating polymers.

TL;DR: An analytical system for in situ measurement of the charge that develops by contact electrification when a ferromagnetic sphere rolls on the surface of a polymer, which generates an internally consistent set of data that include the polarity and magnitude of charging for a homologous series of polymers that differ chemically in the pendant group on a polyethylene backbone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Assembly of Microscale Objects at a Liquid/Liquid Interface through Lateral Capillary Forces

TL;DR: In this paper, small hexagonal polymeric plates with faces patterned into hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, and interacting through lateral capillary forces, were allowed to self-assemble at the perfluorodecalin/water interface.
Journal ArticleDOI

Generation of Micrometer-Sized Patterns for Microanalytical Applications Using a Laser Direct-Write Method and Microcontact Printing

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a procedure that allows the rapid generation of elastomeric masters for microcontact printing (μCP) and for a new variant of this technique: controlled sagging micro contact printing (CSμCP), using a low-power laser (10 mW) operating at 532 nm.
