Plasmonic Structural Colors For Plastic Consumer Products

Højlund-Nielsen E., Clausen J., Thamdrup L.H., Zalkovskij M., Højlund-Nielsen E., Nielsen T., Mäkelä T., Ahopelto J., Mortensen N.A., Kristensen A., Technical University of Denmark, DK

Today colorants, such as pigments or dyes, are used to color plastic-based consumer products, either as base for solid colored bulk polymer or in inks for surface decoration. After usage, the products must be mechanically [...]

All polymer, injection molded nanoslits, fabricated through two-level UV-LIGA processes

Østergaard P.F., Mateucci M., Marie R., Kristensen A., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DK

Micro- and nanofluidic systems fabricated in silicon and glass substrates are expensive and have long production cycles. To minimize the time used by researchers to fabricate their systems, rather than using them, medium to high [...]

Capillary filling speed in silicon dioxide nano-channels

Jarlgaard S.E., Mikkelsen M.B.L., Skafte-Pedersen P., Bruus H., Kristensen A., Technical University of Denmark, DK

We present a simple silicon-based fabrication technique for nanocapillaries based on controlled growth of silicon-dioxide, UV lithography, etching with etch-stop, and glass wafer bonding. Our approach improves state-of-the-art with respect to the obtained cross-wafer homogeneity [...]
