Self-assembly of Colloids for Plastic Capillary Electrochromatography Chip
In this work we have developed and characterized a novel fabrication process for producing dense, porous array of silica particles packed inside a plastic microfluidic channel. The novel approach relies on in-situ crystallization of colloidal silica particles within specific regions of a microchannel defined by plasma processing. These selfassembled silica colloids through a plastic microchanne...
متن کاملRapid self-assembly of DNA on a microfluidic chip
BACKGROUND: DNA self-assembly methods have played a major role in enabling methods for acquiring genetic information without having to resort to sequencing, a relatively slow and costly procedure. However, even self-assembly processes tend to be very slow when they rely upon diffusion on a large scale. Miniaturisation and integration therefore hold the promise of greatly increasing this speed o...
متن کاملSelf-assembly of peptides to nanostructures.
The formation of well-ordered nanostructures through self-assembly of diverse organic and inorganic building blocks has drawn much attention owing to their potential applications in biology and chemistry. Among all organic building blocks, peptides are one of the most promising platforms due to their biocompatibility, chemical diversity, and resemblance to proteins. Inspired by the protein asse...
متن کاملMesoscopic Self-Assembly: A Shift to Complexity
By focusing on the construction of thermodynamically stable structures, the self-assembly of mesoscopic systems has proven capable of formidable achievements in the bottomup engineering of microand nanosystems. Yet, inspired by an analogous evolution in supramolecular chemistry, synthetic mesoscopic self-assembly may have a lot more ahead, within reach of a shift toward fully three-dimensional ...
متن کاملSelf-Assembly: From Nanoscale to Microscale Colloids
Self-assembly is a fundamental mechanism by which structures form in materials. Over the past decades, a primary focus has been to relate materials’ behaviors to the spatial arrangement of their fundamental building blocks. These building blocks may comprise atoms, molecules, macromolecules and colloidal particles. It is well known that the same chemical substance can have vastly different prop...
