摘要:
Described herein are three-dimensional (3-D) paper fluidic devices. The entire 3-D device is fabricated on a support layer formed from a single sheet of material and assembled by folding the support layer. The folded structure may be enclosed in an impermeable cover or package. Chemically sensitive particles may be disposed in the support layer for use in detecting analytes.

According to one embodiment an apparatus includes a membrane and at least a portion of a nanotube imbedded within the membrane. The portion of the nanotube imbedded within the membrane provides a conduit through the membrane.
摘要:
A substrate having a dendrimer monolayer film thereon is provided. The film can comprise either dendrimers, or dendrons (dendrimer branches). In each case, the monolayer films are covalently bonded to the desired surface. The resulting structure can be employed in a variety of applications including chemical sensors.
摘要:
A self-assembled multilayer and in particular polymeric self-assembled multilayer can be effectively produced from two or more self-assembled monolayers on a substrate where each of the self-assembled monolayers is produced for a block containing a first functional group and a second functional group where the second functional group is reacted with the first functional group. The production of polymerizable, self-assembled mono- and multi-layers from, e.g., blocks containing at least two acetylene groups and/or polymerizable end groups, is also provided. The polymerized mono- or multilayer can be employed in a variety of applications including photolithography.
