AbstractHere we report an epoch-making simple fabrication for wrinkle formation. The present wrinkle formation process is a solution for controlling the area, shape and direction of wrinkle area by forming wrinkles on the liquid state polydimethylsiloxane directly exposed to sputtered metal particles in the low vacuum plasma chamber in various vacuum states and deposition conditions. Also the process allows us to make extremely flexible metal thin film electrode with approved adhesion. These bring us possibilities of actual electrical and biological applications.

Mathematical models for the growth of nutrient-rich tissue are presented and a number of properties of the resulting models outlined. The focus is on obtaining broadly applicable results for the simplest appropriate formulations by using matched-asymptotic, moving-boundary and thin-film approaches; the relevance of the results to a variety of specific biological applications will be addressed elsewhere, as will the inclusion of additional physical phenomena.

ABSTRACTThis paper presents the use of a-Si:H electrolyte-gate thin film transistors (EG-TFTs) for the pH sensing and the detection of DNA and proteins (horseradish peroxidase, HRP). The sensing layer used was SiNx or SiO2. The devices show linear sensitivity to pH above the point of zero charge and respond to the adsorption of oligonuleotides and HRP with typical Langmuir adsorption behavior. DNA immobilization and hybridization detection is demonstrated. Surface control and reproducibility issues are addressed by the measurement of surface contact angles.

Deep-level sensors for detecting the local temperatures of inner organs and tissues of an animal are rarely reported. In this paper, we present a method to fabricate multifunctional micro-probes with standard cleanroom procedures, using a piece of stainless-steel foil as the substrate. On each of the as-fabricated micro-probes, arrays of thermocouples made of Pd–Cr thin-film stripes with reliable thermal sensing functions were built, together with Pd electrode openings for detecting electrical signals. The as-fabricated sword-shaped freestanding microprobes with length up to 30 mm showed excellent mechanical strength and elastic properties when they were inserted into the brain and muscle tissues of live rats, as well as suitable electrochemical properties and, therefore, are promising for potential biological applications.

A method was developed to pattern the surface of perfluorinated materials with graphene oxide thin film, and various biological applications of the patterned perfluorinated surface were illustrated. Perfluorinated surfaces such as Teflon, Cytop, and other perfluorinated materials are known to be both hydrophobic and oleophobic, with low adhesion for most materials. Modifying the perfluorinated surfaces has been difficult due to the extraordinary chemical inertness, which limits the applications of perfluorinated materials as anti-fouling substrates. Herein we successfully patterned Cytop surfaces with graphene oxide. Patterns of the graphene oxide thin film with feature dimension down to 40 microns were formed and remained stable on the Cytop surface against washing with water, ethanol and acetone. The graphene oxide thin film on the Cytop surface allowed non-specific protein adsorption. To illustrate the applications of the patterned Cytop surface, we used the patterned Cytop surface as the substrate to study the protein-protein interactions, stem cell culture, and stem cell proliferation.
