Nanopatterning planar and non-planar mold surfaces for a polymer replication

Cech J., Pranov H., Kofod G., Matschuk M., Murthy S., Cheong L.Y., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DK

We present a novel process to create nanopatterns on planar and non-planar polymer replication tools, such as metallic molds for an injection molding. Such tools with nanopatterned cavities then allow affordable mass production of nanopatterned [...]

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 [...]

All-In-Polymer Injection Molded Device for Single Cell Capture Using Multilevel Silicon Master Fabrication

Tanzi S., Larsen S.T., Matteucci M., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DTU Nanotech, DK

This work demonstrates a novel all-in-polymer device for single cell capture applicable for biological recordings. The chip is injection molded and comprises a “cornered” (non planar) aperture. Zanetti et al. have reported that mammalian cells [...]

Conductive Polymer Microelectrodes for on-chip measurement of transmitter release from living cells

Tylsgaard Larsen S., Matteucci M., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DK

In this work we present an all-polymer chip for measuring exocytotic release from neuronal cells using electrochemical sensing at a conductive polymer microelectrode. This chip combines several novel aspects, such as the use of conductive [...]

Injection molded superhydrophobic surfaces

Søgaard E., Smistrup K., Taboryski R., Technical University of Denmark, DK

The Lotus effect is used as inspiration for the fabrication of injection molded (IM) hierarchical polymer surfaces with self-cleaning properties. IM is a widespread method for the fabrication of plastic items. Surface functionalization is traditionally [...]

Evaluation of stability for monolayer injection molding tools coating

Cech J., Taboryski R., DTU, DK

We tested and characterized molecular coating of Aluminium and Nickel prototype molds and mold inserts for polymer replication via injection molding (IM). X-Ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data, sessile drop contact angles with multiple fluids, surface [...]
