    摘要: Devices for intracellular and intratissue nanoinjection of biomolecules into a living body and methods of producing the devices. Such a device includes a flexible substrate and nanoneedles extending from a surface of the flexible substrate, and can be produced by providing a first substrate having pillars extending from a surface thereof, locally reducing diameters of the pillars at locations thereof adjacent the first substrate, embedding distal ends of the pillars in a flexible substrate, and sufficiently expanding the flexible substrate to cause the pillars to fracture at the locations thereof adjacent the first substrate and detach therefrom to define nanoneedles extending from the flexible substrate.

    摘要: Nanoassembly methods for producing quasi-3D plasmonic films with periodic nanoarrays of nano-sized surface features. A sacrificial layer is deposited on a surface of a donor substrate having periodic nanoarrays of nanopattern features formed thereon. A plasmon film is deposited onto the sacrificial layer and a dielectric spacer is deposited on the plasmon film. The donor substrate having the sacrificial layer, plasmon film, and dielectric spacer thereon is immersed in a bath of etchant to selectively remove the sacrificial layer such that the plasmon film and the dielectric spacer thereon adhere to the surface of the donor substrate. The dielectric spacer and the plasmon film are mechanically separated from the donor substrate to define a quasi-three dimensional (3D) plasmonic film having periodic nanoarrays of nano-sized surface features defined by the nanopattern features of the donor substrate surface. The quasi-3D plasmonic film is then applied to a receiver substrate.

    摘要: Interfacial delamination processes for physically separating a film structure from a substrate, and processes of fabricating a thin-film electronic device. The processes entail providing the substrate with an electrically-conductive separation layer on a surface of the substrate and optionally providing a pin hole free barrier layer on the electrically-conductive separation layer, forming a film structure on the electrically-conductive separation layer or, if present, the barrier layer, to yield a multilayer structure, and separating the film structure from the substrate by subjecting the multilayer structure to interfacial debonding that comprises contacting at least an interface between the film structure and the electrically-conductive separation layer or, if present, the barrier layer, with water or an electrolyte solution.

    摘要: A device includes a contact lens, a corneal sensor that includes a circular trace of conduction paths located at or near an outer peripheral edge of the contact lens that surrounds an unobstructed area at a center region of the contact lens, and a connection wire coupled to the corneal sensor and configured to electrically couple to an external data acquisition system. Methods of fabricating the device may include providing a thin device that includes a sensor and a connection wire coupled to the sensor, transferring the sensor to a curvilinear inner surface of a contact lens, feeding the connection wire through the inner surface of the contact lens and out of an outer surface of the contact lens, and performing electrochemical polymerization of a conducting polymer material over the sensor to anchor the sensor to the inner surface of the contact lens.
