  • Publication number: 20230088763
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a new resin which can be fabricated into conductive and bioactive microstructures via two-photon polymerization. The direct incorporation of conductive poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and/or multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) in a poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA)-based blend remarkably enhances the electrical conductivity of microstructures over 10 orders of magnitude. Including biomaterials in the resin can promote cellular adhesion and create functional biosensors made of hybrid non-conductive and conductive structures for sensitive detection. Applications include development cost effective microelectronics in a broad range of biomedical research, electronics and sensors.

  • Patent number: 10179953
    Abstract: Selective electropolymerization of conducting polymers using a hydrogel stamp is disclosed. The ability of this simple method to generate patterned films of conducting polymers with multiple surface chemistries in a single-step process and to incorporate biomolecules in these films is further described.

  • Publication number: 20060183166
    Abstract: A process for making a biomembrane array comprising providing a first substrate having a discrete zone and a second substrate. A first ink having a proteoliposome is then loaded onto the discrete zone to form a loaded zone. The loaded zone is then contacted to the second substrate such that the first ink is deposited from the loaded zone on the second substrate, thereby forming a biomembrane array on the second substrate.
