Bioinspired Layered Materials with Superior Mechanical Performance Via Interface Design

Cheng Q., Jiang L., Tang Z., Beihang University, CN

After billions of years of evolution, the natural nacre, consisting of almost 95 vol% inorganic plates (aragonite calcium carbonate) and 5 vol% organic macromolecules (elastic biopolymer), shows a unique combination of the remarkable strength and [...]

A Demonstration of High-throughput Immunoassay and Small Molecule Binding on Protein Microarrays with SPR Microscopy

Kim G., Jiang L., Rathod P.K., Campbell C.T., Nishimoto A., Casasanta V., University of Washington, US

The use of Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) for the detection of biomolecular binding events at the nanometer scale is of great utility when expanded into microarray density formats. Protein microarray analysis is particularly well suited [...]

MEMS Resonator Tuning using Focused Ion Beam Platinum Deposition

Enderling S., Jiang L., Ross A.W.S., Bond S., Hedley J., Harris A.J., Burdess J.S., Cheung R., Zorman C.A., Mehregany M., Walton A.J., University of Edinburgh, UK

This paper presents a novel post-fabrication tuning method which changes the resonant frequency of micromechanical beam resonators using Focused Ion Beam (FIB) deposition and removal of platinum. Tuning was achieved by depositing platinum on a [...]

Modeling and Simulation of A Surface Micromachined Triaxial Accelerometer

Jiang L., Carr W.N., New Jersey Institute of Technology, US

We present the modeling and simulation results in designing a surface micromachined, capacitive triaxial accelerometer. Electrical FEA simulations calculate the nominal values of the sensing capacitors and compared with parallel-plate analytical model. The mechanical static [...]
