Tribology of SU-8 polymer is increasingly relevant due to bursting use of this material in a variety applications. This study is directed towards introduction and investigation of a novel self-lubricating composite of an ionic liquid (IL)vin SU-8. The new material can be utilized for facrication of lubricating polymer coating with tunable surface properities or SU8-made […]
Several recent detector technologies developed for particle physics applications are based on microfabricated structures. Detectors built with this approach generally exhibit the overall best performance in terms of spatial and time resolution. Many properties of the SU-8 photoepoxy make it suitable for the manufacturing of microstructured particle detectors. This article aims to review some emerging […]
Cell-derived membrane vesicles that are released in biofluids, like blood or saliva, are emerging as potential non-invasive biomarkers for diseases, such as cancer. Techniques capable of measuring the size and concentration of membrane vesicles directly in biofluids are urgently needed. Fluorescence single particle tracking microscopy has the potential of doing exactly that by labelling the […]
Fluid-mediated self-assembly is one of the most promising routes for assembling and packaging smart microsystems in a scalable and cost-efficient way. In this work the pairwise fluidic self-assembly of 100 mm-sized SU-8 cylinders is studied with respect to two driving mechanisms Loic Jacot-Descombes, Cristina Martin-Olmos, Maurizio Rosario Gullo,a Victor Javier Cadarso,a Gregory Mermoud,b Luis Guillermo […]
We have characterized the electrical conductivity of the composite which consists of multi-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in SU8 epoxy resin. Depending on the processing conditions of the epoxy (ranging from non-polymerized to cross-linked), we obtained tunneling and percolating-like regimes of the electrical conductivity of the composites. Claudio Grimaldi, Marijana Mionic, Richard Gaal, Laszlo Forro, and […]
Proton beam lithography a maskless direct-write lithographic technique (well suited for producing 3-Dimensional microstructures in a range of resist and semiconductor materials) is demonstrated as an effective tool in the creation of electrically conductive freestanding micro-structures in an Su 8 + Nano Silver polymer composite. H. Igbenehu and S. Jiguet Materials Science and Engineering 40 […]
We have developed conducting composite based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and bisphehol. A novolak epoxy resin (SU8) for inkjet printing purposes. We could deposit regular conducting stripes and arrays of 150 mm spots on glass and on flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. The UV and temperature processed structures show very good adhesion and reasonably good […]
