Microfluidic devices fabricated in Poly(dimethylsiloxane) for biological studies

TL;DR: A review of microfluidic systems in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) for biological studies is presented in this paper, which highlights the advantages of miniaturization for biological analysis, such as efficiency of the device and special insights into cell biology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-assembled organic monolayers: model systems for studying adsorption of proteins at surfaces

TL;DR: Self-assembled monolayers of omega-functionalized long-chain alkanethiolates on gold films are excellent model systems with which to study the interactions of proteins with organic surfaces and the ability to create interfaces with similar structures and well-defined compositions should make it possible to test hypotheses concerning protein adsorption.
Journal ArticleDOI

Features of gold having micrometer to centimeter dimensions can be formed through a combination of stamping with an elastomeric stamp and an alkanethiol ‘‘ink’’ followed by chemical etching

TL;DR: In this paper, a technique for patterning a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) on a gold substrate using an elastomer stamp was described, followed by selective etching in an aqueous, basic solution of cyanide ion and dissolved dioxygen (1M KOH, 0.1 M KCN).
Journal ArticleDOI

Multigait soft robot

TL;DR: This manuscript describes a unique class of locomotive robot, composed exclusively of soft materials (elastomeric polymers), which is inspired by animals that do not have hard internal skeletons, and illustrates an advantage of soft robotics.
