Wettability patterning for high-rate, pumpless fluid transport on open, non-planar microfluidic platforms.
Surface tension driven transport of liquids on open substrates offers an enabling tool for open micro total analysis systems that are becoming increasingly popular for low-cost biomedical diagnostic devices. The present study uses a facile wettability patterning method to produce open microfluidic tracks that - due to their shape, surface texture and chemistry - are capable of transporting a wi...
متن کاملNanosecond Laser Surface Patterning of Bio Grade 316L Stainless Steel for Controlling its Wettability Characteristics
In this work, potential of the nanosecond laser processing technique on manipulating the surface wettability of 316L bio grade stainless steel is investigated. Results show that the steel wettability toward water, improves significantly after the laser treatment. Different analyses are assessed in correlation with wettability using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Scanning Tunneling Microsco...

microfabrication applications, it is widely used to transfer the designed patterns from an etching mask to the substrate. When the sample is immersed into the etching bath, the etchant only contacts and reacts with the substrate surfaces where are uncovered by the etching mask. The suitable materials for the mask can be polymers or other materials such as photoresist, SU-8,SiO2 andSi3N4, which ...
متن کاملFemtosecond laser controlled wettability of solid surfaces.
Femtosecond laser microfabrication is emerging as a hot tool for controlling the wettability of solid surfaces. This paper introduces four typical aspects of femtosecond laser induced special wettability: superhydrophobicity, underwater superoleophobicity, anisotropic wettability, and smart wettability. The static properties are characterized by the contact angle measurement, while the dynamic ...
متن کاملLaser surface structuring of AZ31 Mg alloy for controlled wettability.
Structured surfaces exhibit functional properties that can enhance the performance of a bioimplant in terms of biocompatibility, adhesion, or corrosion behavior. In order to tailor the surface property, chemical and physical methods can be used in a sequence of many steps. On the other hand, laser surface processing can provide a single step solution to achieve the designated surface function w...
