Polyimide resin.

Novel carbon-fiber microelectrode batch fabrication using a 3D-printed mold and polyimide resin.

Glass insulated carbon-fiber microelectrodes (CFMEs) are standard tools for the measurement of neurotransmitters. However, electrodes are fabricated individually and the glass can shatter, limiting application in higher order mammals. Here, we developed a novel microelectrode batch fabrication method using a 3D-printed mold and polyimide resin insulating agent. The 3D-printed mold is low cost, ...

Modification of bisphenol-A based bismaleimide resin (BPA-BMI) with an allyl-terminated hyperbranched polyimide (AT-PAEKI)

As a continuation of previous work involving synthesis of an allyl-functionalized hyperbranched polyimide, AT-PAEKI, we have studied the use of this reactive polymer as a modifier of bisphenol-A based bismaleimide resin (BPA-BMI). This was pursued in anticipation of improvements in processability as well as physical properties including glass transition temperature, elastic modulus, and fractur...

Polyimide-matrix Chemical-selective Membranes

Preliminary work using polyimide (PI) as the polymer matrix for permselective membranes is reported in this paper. The excellent adhesion of polyimide may be helpful in extending solid-state chemical sensor lifetimes. Electrochemical performance and adhesion to S&N, of these membranes is compared to that of conventional PVC-based membranes.

Biosensors Using Micromachined Polyimide Probes

This paper explores the electrochemical patterning of thin metal films using a scanning probe tip as an electrode. In particular, a masking nickel film is etched to reveal a gold pattern to which biomolecules like liposomes and proteins can be attached after treatment with functionalized self assembled monolayers (SAMs) of gold-thiolate. The machining is performed by ultracomplaint polyimide mi...
