METHODS FOR FABRICATING MORPHOLOGICALLY TRANSFORMED NANO-STRUCTURES (MTNS) AND TUNABLE NANOCOMPOSITE POLYMER MATERIALS, AND DEVICES USING SUCH MATERIALS

摘要

In order to implement a microfluidics sensor having higher efficiency, Applicants have developed a method of formation of nano- structures having various shapes and sizes onto materials such as polymers, glass and silicon, which are compatible with the microfabrication processes. The adhesion of the nano-structures and feasibility to tune their properties (optical, electrical and mechanical) are two prime concerns when they are adopted for microfluidics devices.
