Journal ArticleDOI
Elastomeric Tiles for the Fabrication of Inflatable Structures
Stephen A. Morin,Sen Wai Kwok,Joshua Aaron Lessing,Jason Ming Ting,Robert F. Shepherd,Adam A. Stokes,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the fabrication of 3D soft, inflable structures from thin, 2D tiles fabricated from elastomeric polymers, connected using soft joints that increase the surface area available for gluing them together and mechanically reinforce the structures to withstand the tensile forces associated with pneumatic actuation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of potential inhibitors of hemagglutination by influenza virus: chemoenzymic preparation of N-5 analogs of N-acetylneuraminic acid.
Michelle A. Sparks,Kevin W. Williams,Christine Lukacs,Andreas Schrell,Gregory P. Priebe,Andreas Spaltenstein,George M. Whitesides +6 more
TL;DR: N-Acylation of 2 produced several new N-acyl neuraminic acid analogs; these have been evaluated as inhibitors of adhesion of influenza virus to chicken erythrocytes in a hemagglutination inhibition assay (HAI).
Journal ArticleDOI
An outlook on microfluidics: the promise and the challenge.
TL;DR: This perspective considers ways in which the field of microfluidics can increase its impact by improving existing technologies and enabling new functionalities, and identifies outstanding technical challenges whose resolution could increase the accessibility of micro fluidics to users with both scientific and non-technical backgrounds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heterogeneous Films of Ionotropic Hydrogels Fabricated From Delivery Templates of Patterned Paper
TL;DR: The use of delivery templates makes it possible to fabricate shaped, millimeter-thick heterogeneously patterned films of ionotropic hydrogels, which can be used to culture bacteria in various 2-D designs and control the mechanical properties of the film.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sub-100 nm confinement of magnetic nanoparticles using localized magnetic field gradients
TL;DR: This method provides a new tool for generating intense, highly localized magnetic field gradients, by design, and confining magnetic nanoparticles in these gradients.
