TRANSPARENT P(VDF-TrFE) TRANSDUCER-BASED ACOUSTIC STREAMING FOR MICROFLUIDIC APPLICATIONS
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper reports on a mixing system for microfluidic applications based on the acoustic streaming phenomenon. The system is based on an optimized piezoelectric transducer comprising a 25 μm thick poly(vinylidene fluoridetrifluoroethylene), P(VDF-TrFE), copolymer film with 85 nm thick electrodes of aluminium-doped zinc oxide (AZO). The system was tested for potential clinical applications allowing the quantification of nitrite and uric acid in blood.

Graphene-P(VDF-TrFE) multilayer film for flexible applications.
A flexible, transparent acoustic actuator and nanogenerator based on graphene/P(VDF-TrFE)/graphene multilayer film is demonstrated. P(VDF-TrFE) is used as an effective doping layer for graphene and contributes significantly to decreasing the sheet resistance of graphene to 188 ohm/sq. The potentiality of graphene/P(VDF-TrFE)/graphene multilayer film is realized in fabricating transparent, flexi...

متن کاملMultifunctional sensor based on organic field-effect transistor and ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene)
A multifunctional sensor that responds to all – static/quasi-static or dynamic temperature or force – is reported. The sensor is based on a ferroelectric poly(vinylidene fluoride trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) capacitor connected to the gate of organic field-effect transistor (OFET). Both, the P(VDF-TrFE) capacitance and the output voltage of the P(VDF-TrFE)/OFET sensor exhibit a logarithmic ...

Vertically aligned piezoelectric P(VDF-TrFE) nanotube array comprising nanotubes embedded in anodized alumina membrane matrix without entanglement has been fabricated. It is found that the crystallographic polar axes of the P(VDF-TrFE) nanotubes are oriented along the nanotubes long axes. Such a desired crystal orientation is due to the kinetic selection mechanism for lamellae growth confined i...
