چکیده

The adhesion and interaction properties of functionalised surfaces (substrate or cantilever) were investigated by means of atomic force microscope (AFM) related force measurements. The surfaces were functionalised with a polyelectrolyte: Poly(Allylamine Hydrochloride) (PAH), or with silanes: 3 (ethoxydimethylsilyl) propyl amine (APTES) or (3 aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APDMES). Measurements of forces acting between a bare glass sphere (functionalised or not) and a functionalised surface indicated repulsive or attractive forces, depending on functionnalisation and medium (wet or dry). Adhesion forces (pull-off) can be observed in dry medium while in wet medium, this phenomenon can be cancelled. Now, the pull-off forces is an important problem in the automation of micro-object manipulations. The cancellation of this force by chemical functionnalisation is thus a promising way to improve micro-assembly in the future.

Superhydrophobic bio-fibre surfaces via tailored grafting architecture.

Superhydrophobic bio-fibre surfaces with a micro-nano-binary surface structure have been achieved via the surface-confined grafting of glycidyl methacrylate, using a branched "graft-on-graft" architecture, followed by post-functionalisation to obtain fluorinated brushes.

اصلاح سطح ابرآبگریز پلیمر پلی‌پروپیلن با هدف بهبود برهم‌کنش‌های بیولوژیک

The significance of producing superhydrophobic surfaces through modification of surface chemistry and structure is in preventing or delaying biofilm formation. This is done to improve biocompatibility and chemical and biological properties of the surface by creating micro-nano multilevel rough structure; and to decrease surface free energy by Fault Tolerant Control Strategy (FTCS) . Here, we pr...

Effect of Using Nano Encapsulated Phase Change Material on Thermal Performance of Micro Heat Sink

The aim of this paper is to enhance thermal performance of a microchannel heat sink by using nanoencapsulated phase change material (NEPCM) slurry as a cooling fluid instead of pure fluid. A threedimensional model of a circular channel using water slurry of NEPCM was developed. The results show a significant reduction in the mean fluid temperature along the channel and heat sink wall temperatu...

Overview of coupling effects on interaction forces in micro-nano-world

The release of object during robotic micromanipulation operations stays a challenge. The adhesion forces have to be known to improve micromanipulation tasks. Adhesion models build from macrophysics (continuum mechanics) or from nanophysics (atomic scale interactions) do not fit well experiments on the microscale. This is due to some phenomenon which are specific to the microphysics. Some of the...
