Abstract: A method for preparing a pyroelectric polymer film based on a combined process of solution casting and uniaxial stretching is disclosed. The pyroelectric polymer film is firstly prepared by solution casting, afterwards, the casted film is subjected to uniaxial stretching when the film is in a semi-cured state (wet film). Thus a larger stretching ratio (>10) at a lower temperature (even at room temperature) is realized. Without undergoing a further poling process, the as-stretched film does have a fairly, good pyroelectric performance. Moreover, the surface of the stretched film is smoother and has fewer surface defects.

Abstract: A drug delivery method for effective drug application is disclosed in this invention. In this method, a micro-carrier delivers an encapsulated, desired drug directly to targeted sites without significant interactions with other components in the biological system in the pathway. In one embodiment, a micro-carrier containing encapsulated drug is first delivered to the general area for treatment. It then scans the area and selectively attaches itself the cell site or organ location to be treated. Finally, the desired drug contained in the micro-carrier is released to the attached cell or organ. In another embodiment, a micro-device is first used to process the general area to be treated to enhance differentiation in properties (such as surface charge) between healthy cells and unhealthy cells (such as cancer cells). Drug encapsulated in the micro-carrier is next applied to preferentially attach onto the targeted sites (such as cancer cell sites) to be treated.
