Journal ArticleDOI
Thermally actuated interferometric sensors based on the thermal expansion of transparent elastomeric media
TL;DR: In this paper, the fabrication and characterization of two thermally actuated optical devices for the measurement of temperature and power are described, where a transparent polymer having a high coefficient of thermal expansion was used as the temperature sensitive medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replacing Ag(TS)SCH(2)-R with Ag(TS)O(2)C-R in EGaIn-based tunneling junctions does not significantly change rates of charge transport.
Kung-Ching Liao,Hyo Jae Yoon,Carleen M. Bowers,Felice C. Simeone,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +5 more
TL;DR: A comparison of junctions comprising oligo(phenylene)carboxylates and n-alkanoates showed, as expected, that β for aliphatic and aromatic SAMs differed significantly, and it was shown that such changes (both structural and electronic) in the Ag(TS) XR interface do not influence the rate of charge transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Patterning Disorder in Monolayer Resists for the Fabrication of Sub-100-nm Structures in Silver, Gold, Silicon, and Aluminum
TL;DR: Topographically directed etching (TODE) as mentioned in this paper relies on patterned regions of disorder in SAMs to generate features specifically at the edges of topographically patterned metal films, which are at least an order of magnitude smaller than those patterned originally in the material, when the original patterning is at the scale of μm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pumping based on transverse electrokinetic effects
TL;DR: In this article, a transverse electro-osmotic flow in a channel with topographical features on one wall is generated by an electric field applied across the channel, and the pump operates at low voltage and achieves pumping speeds up to ∼100μm/s in submillimeter channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Using magnetic levitation for non-destructive quality control of plastic parts.
Jonathan W. Hennek,Alex Nemiroski,Anand Bala Subramaniam,David K. Bwambok,Dian Yang,Daniel V. Harburg,Simon Tricard,Audrey K. Ellerbee,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +9 more
TL;DR: The feasibility of MagLev as a method to rapidly assess injection-molded plastic parts for defects during process optimization, monitor the degradation of plastics after exposure to harsh environmental conditions, and detect counterfeit polymers by density is demonstrated.
