  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR GROWING COPPER NANOWIRES
    Publication number: 20130008690
    Abstract: A method of synthesis to produce gram-scale quantities of copper nanowires in an aqueous solution, wherein the copper nanowires are dispersed in said solution. Copper nanowires grow from spherical copper nanoparticles within the first 5 minutes of the reaction. Copper nanowires can be collected from solution and printed to make conductive films (preferably <10,000 ?/sq) that preferably transmit greater than 60% of visible light.

  • THREE-DIMENSIONAL MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20110123398
    Abstract: Three-dimensional microfluidic devices including by a plurality of patterned porous, hydrophilic layers and a fluid-impermeable layer disposed between every two adjacent patterned porous, hydrophilic layers are described. Each patterned porous, hydrophilic layer has a fluid-impermeable barrier which substantially permeates the thickness of the porous, hydrophilic layer and defines boundaries of one or more hydrophilic regions within the patterned porous, hydrophilic layer. The fluid-impermeable layer has openings which are aligned with at least part of the hydrophilic region within at least one adjacent patterned porous, hydrophilic layer. Microfluidic assay device, microfluidic mixer, microfluidic flow control device are also described.
