  • METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR FABRICATING MICROFLUIDIC DEVICES
    Publication number: 20130228950
    Abstract: Materials and methods are provided for fabricating microfluidic devices. The materials include low surface energy fluoropolymer compositions having multiple cure functional groups. The materials can include multiple photocurable and/or thermal-curable functional groups such that laminate devices can be fabricated. The materials also substantially do not swell in the presence of hydrocarbon solvents.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 9, 2013
    Publication date: September 5, 2013
    Applicant: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    Inventors: Joseph M. DeSimone, Jason P. Rolland, Ginger M. Denison Rothrock, Paul Resnick

  • LIQUID MATERIALS FOR USE IN ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS
    Publication number: 20090023038
    Abstract: Disclosed is the use of liquid precursor materials to prepare a processible polymeric electrolyte, which can be used to form a proton exchange membrane for use in an electrochemical cell. Also disclosed is the use of liquid precursor materials to prepare a processible catalyst ink composition, which can be conformally applied to a proton exchange membrane and a electrode material for use in an electrochemical cell. Also disclosed is the use of a photocurable perfluoropolyether (PFPE) material to form a microfluidic electrochemical cell.
