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 [...]

New microfluidic chip for the production of spherical gelled capsule for cell encapsulation

Dalle P., Morales S., Berthier J., Benhamou P-Y., Bellemin Comte A., Boizot F., Costa G., Rivera F., CEA-LETI, FR

Implantation of Langerhans islet in alginate shell is an alternative for the treatment of diabetes type 1. Finding an adapted process for cell encapsulation is a challenge. The process must product spherical and monodisperse capsules [...]

Segmented inkjet print head experiment

Einat M., Ariel University Center of Samaria, IL

Inkjet print heads are commonly designed as a device having single ink reservoir distributed to all the nozzles of the same ink. For limited number of nozzles and head size this solution works well, but [...]

Photo-induced Surface Modification of Polyimides for Printable Electronics Fablication

Yamashita T., Kodara F., Mino M., Matsuzawa Y., Okano K., Tokyo University of Science, JP

Manufacturing devices with printing technique is one of the key steps in developing printable and flexible electronics or photonics technology. But printing fine structure with ink jet technique is relatively limited because positional precision and [...]

Photocurable Composite with Antimicrobial Activity for Wound-Healing

Chang M-H, Ding F.-C., Ju W.-Y., Lai P.S., National Chung Hsing University, TW

To develop an appropriate approach that can accelerate the wound healing rate or prevent other microorganisms contamination is necessary for wound healing. In this study, the combination of antimicrobial activity and photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy of [...]

Measurement of liquid properties by the observation of micro droplet emitted by inkjet

Yamada T., Sakai K., Institute of Industrial Science, the University of Tokyo, JP

The application of inkjet printing to industrial processes such as microfabrication, bioengineering is attracting great attention these days. These processes involve large shear deformation of micro-scale and complex liquid, therefore, the importance to measure properties [...]

Low-temperature laser sintering of the printed nano-silver electrodes for flexible electronics

Gu W., Lin J., Cui Z., Suzhou Institute of Nanotech, Chinese Academy of Sciences, CN

One of the key components in flexible electronics is the flexible electrode. Currently, the most commonly used printable electrode material is nano-silver ink which contains various additives.These additives, however, increase the electrical resistivity of nano-silver [...]

Additive Manufacturing (AM) of Quantum Dot Nano-Inks

Ivanova O.S., Elliott A., Campbell T.A., Williams C.B., Virginia Tech, US

Additive Manufacturing (AM) pertains to technologies that fabricate 3D artifacts through the successive addition of 2D cross-sectional layers. Due to this layer-by-layer fabrication process, AM allows a designer to create geometrically complex artifacts with designed [...]

FineMetalLine Patterning on Hydrophilic Non-Conductive SubstratesBased on EHD Printing withLaser Sintering

Son S., Lee S., Kim Y.J., An K., Choi J., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

In this paper, we report the successful EHD printing and laser sintering of a 5 um width of metal line patterns, with the line thickness of over 340 nm, on a hydrophilic non-conductive glass substrate [...]
