Lithographically induced self-assembly of periodic polymer micropillar arrays
We observed, and believe it to be the first time, the self-formation of periodic, supramolecular ~micrometer scale! pillar arrays in a thin, single-homopolymer film melt, which was originally flat on a plate. The self-formation was induced by placing a second plate ~called a mask! a distance above the polymer film. The pillars, formed by rising against the gravitational force and surface tensio...
متن کاملMicrofluidic Micropillar Arrays for 3D Cell Culture
Cell-based assays are one of the most important steps to select huge amount of drug candidates in drug discovery. To get more credible assay results, cell culture in the form of microscale environment and three-dimension has been exploited by microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing. However, the method still needs an enhanced reliability of scaffold formation and fast cell immobilization in a microc...
متن کاملCapillary flow through rectangular micropillar arrays
This work explores capillary flow through micropillar arrays with rectangular pillar arrangements. The effects of these configurations on permeability and capillary pressure are investigated for heat pipe wick applications. The permeability is described in terms of three dimensionless parameters: h=d; l=d, and S=d, where l and S are the edge-to-edge spacings in the xand y-directions, respective...
متن کاملthe role of thematic structure in comprehending spoken language
in fact this study is concerned with the relationship between the variation in thematice structure and the comprehension of spoken language. so the study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any relationship between thematic structure and the comprehension of spoken language? 2. which of the themes would have greated thematic force and be easier for the subjects to comprehend? accord...
15 صفحه اولCapillary Force in High Aspect-Ratio Micropillar Arrays
High aspect-ratio (HAR) micropillar arrays are important for many applications including, mechanical sensors and actuators, tunable wetting surfaces and substrates for living cell studies. However, due to their mechanical compliance and large surface area, the micropillars are susceptible to deformation due to surface forces, such as adhesive force and capillary force. In this thesis we have ex...
