Stretchable and reversibly deformable radio frequency antennas based on silver nanowires.
We demonstrate a class of microstrip patch antennas that are stretchable, mechanically tunable, and reversibly deformable. The radiating element of the antenna consists of highly conductive and stretchable material with screen-printed silver nanowires embedded in the surface layer of an elastomeric substrate. A 3-GHz microstrip patch antenna and a 6-GHz 2-element patch array are fabricated. Rad...
متن کاملMechanically Tunable Photonic Crystals
The next frontier in photonic crystal research may be to achieve dynamic tunability that allows real-time, on-demand control of the photonic band structure. Recently, researchers have been working on a new strategy for achieving this goal—by applying mechanical force. This approach can produce much greater tunability than is possible with electro-optic materials and may greatly expand the usefu...
متن کاملFabrication of reversibly adhesive fluidic devices using magnetism.
Fluidic devices are often made by irreversibly bonding a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold to itself or a glass substrate by plasma treatment. This method limits the range of materials for fluidic device fabrication and utility for subsequent processing. Here, we present a simple and inexpensive method to fabricate fluidic devices using magnets to reversibly adhere PDMS and other polymer matrice...
متن کاملHydrodynamically tunable affinities for fluidic assembly.
Most current micro- and nanoscale self-assembly methods rely on static, preprogrammed assembly affinities between the assembling components such as capillarity, DNA base pair matching, and geometric interactions. While these techniques have proven successful at creating relatively simple and regular structures, it is difficult to adapt these methods to enable dynamic reconfiguration of the stru...
متن کاملA Tunable Fluidic Microlens with Fluorescence Enhancement
This paper reports an enhancement in fluorescence detection via the formation of fluidic microlens in micro-optical fluidic system (MOFS). The fluidic microlens is formed by three laminar flows in the expansion chamber. By changing the flow rate of each flow, the shape and focal length of the fluidic lens will be changed. Therefore, the fluidic microlens provides a wide range of tunability to e...
