Capillary driven flow of polydimethylsiloxane in open rectangular microchannels.
The flow of liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS, Dow Corning Sylgard 184, 10 : 1 base to cross-linker ratio) in open, rectangular silicon microchannels, with and without a coating (100 nm) of poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE), was studied. Photolithographic patterning and etching of silicon wafers was used to create microchannels with a range of widths (∼5-50 μm) and depths (5-20 μm). Experimenta...
متن کاملPoly(N-isopropylacrylamide) surface-grafted chitosan membranes as a new substrate for cell sheet engineering and manipulation.
The immobilization of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) on chitosan membranes was performed in order to render membranes with thermo-responsive surface properties. The aim was to create membranes suitable for cell culture and in which confluent cell sheets can be recovered by simply lowering the temperature. The chitosan membranes were immersed in a solution of the monomer that was polymeri...
متن کاملKeynote Paper: Cell-Surface Adhesive Interactions in Microchannels and Microvessels
Adhesive interactions between white blood cells and the interior surface of the blood vessels they contact is important in inflammation and in the progression of heart disease. Parallel-plate microchannels have been useful in characterizing the strength of these interactions, in conditions that are much simplified over the complex environment these cells experience in the body. Recent computati...
متن کاملThermally responsive microcarriers with optimal poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) grafted density for facilitating cell adhesion/detachment in suspension culture.
Large-scale cell culture of anchorage-dependent cells based on microcarriers is a crucial method for industrial-scale cell culture and large-scale expansion of therapeutic cells. Previously, the authors developed temperature-responsive microcarriers bearing poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PIPAAm)-grafted chains on their outer surface for the non-invasive detachment of cultured cells through temper...
متن کاملTemperature-triggered capture of dispersed particles using deposited Laponite with grafted poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) chains.
A method has been developed that enables a conductive surface to be modified so as to capture dispersed particles when the temperature is increased; poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) was grafted from electrodeposited Laponite particles using surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerisation and used to capture dispersed polystyrene particles.
