* Author for correspondence ABSTRACT The optical tweezers instrument is a unique tool for directed assembly of nanocomponents. In order to function as a viable nanomanufacturing tool, a software architecture is needed to run the optical tweezers hardware, provide an effective user interface, and allow automated operation. A flexible software system framework is described to utilize the optical ...

We review a variety of microand nanoparticle formulations produced with microfluidic methods. A diverse variety of approaches to generate microscale and nanoscale particles has been reported. Here we emphasize the use of microfluidics, specifically microfluidic systems that operate in a continuous flow mode, thereby allowing continuous generation of desired particle formulations. The generation...

Additive micro/nano-manufacturing of polymeric precursors combining with a subsequent pyrolysis step enables the design-controlled fabrication micro/nano-architected 3D pyrolytic carbon structures complex architectural details. Pyrolysis results in significant geometrical shrinkage structure, leading to structural dimension significantly smaller than resolution limit involved additive manufactu...

Near‐field electrospinning (NFES) holds the potential to develop into a versatile additive nanomanufacturing platform. However, impact of variety processing variables remains unresolved.Herein, effect solvents used prepare suitable solutions for 3D microstructuring by is studied. straight walls stacked fibers are fabricated using layer‐by‐layer fiber deposition approach. The choice substrate ma...

- Missing observations occur in experimental designs as a result of insufficient sampling, machine breakdown, high cost, and errors in the measurements. In nanomanufacturing, missing observations often appear in designs because the combination of factors or molecular structures selected by a designer cannot be experimented successfully. In the current paper, Box-Behnken and face-centered compos...

Nanomaterials exhibit novel properties that enable new applications ranging from molecular electronics to energy production. Proactive consideration of the potential impacts on human health and the environment resulting from nanomaterial production and use requires methods for forecasting risk associated with of these novel materials. However, the potential variety of nanoma...
