Abstract: A device includes a substrate, and one or more structures. At least a portion of a bottom surface of the one or more structures is coupled to the substrate, and the one or more structures include a first portion defining a first reservoir and a second portion defining a second reservoir that is in communication with the first reservoir via one or more channels defined at least between the substrate and the one or more structures. The second portion of the one or more structures does not include a non-rounded corner that extends continuously from the substrate to a top surface of the one or more structures.

Abstract: Disclosed are polyimide blends and methods of making and using same. The disclosed polyimide blends are prepared by first blending an ionic polymer and a poly(amic acid) to form a poly(amic acid) precursor, followed by cyclization. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Abstract: The invention generally relates to articles and methods of making thereof. More specifically, the invention generally relates to articles comprising a substrate embedded with particles, and having at least one etched surface exposing at least a portion of particles. Methods of making these articles are also disclosed. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

Abstract: A method for coating a substrate with a plate type nanomaterial is provided. The method involves preparing a dispersed solution containing the plate type nanomaterial and a surface active agent, dipping the substrate into the dispersed solution, and drying the substrate after withdrawing the substrate from the dispersed solution. Also provided herein are a dipping solution used for coating the substrate, and a method of preparing a dipping solution for coating a substrate with a plate type nanomaterial.

Abstract: According to an example embodiment a method of plating resin using a graphene thin layer includes forming a graphene thin layer on a resin substrate and electroplating the resin substrate having the graphene thin layer fog on the resin substrate.
