Hollow Atomic Force Microscopy Probes for Nanoscale Dispensing of Liquids

Meister A., Przybylska J., Niedermann P., Santschi C., Heinzelmann H., CSEM SA, CH

The demand for specific tools intended for the deposition of small amount of material on a nanoscale at predefined location is continuously increasing. Several dispensing tools for liquid, such as ink-jet or pin-spotting heads have [...]

Stimuli-Responsive Polymers in bioMEMS Devices

Montagne F., Popa A.M., Pugin R., Heinzelmann H., Swiss Center for Electronic and Microtechnic, CH

Due to their unique “switchable” properties, stimuli-responsive polymers have been attracting considerable attention in biotechnologies and successful applications have already been demonstrated in sensing, intelligent textiles, bio-separation and drug delivery systems. Development of responsive surfaces [...]

Surface Nanostructuration: from coatings to MEMS fabrication

Pugin R., Blondiaux N., Popa A.M., Klein M., Montagne F., Scolan E., Hoogerwerf A., Overstolz T., Liley M., Giazzon M., Weder G., Heinzelmann H., Centre Suisse d’Electronique et de microtechnique, CH

The fabrication of surfaces and films with controlled nanometer features is currently an active area of research. The design of complex nanoarchitectures with novel physical properties has potential applications in many existing and emerging fields [...]
