Rapid vacuum-driven monolayer assembly of microparticles on the surface of perforated microfluidic devices Vrije Universiteit Brussel
On the cusp of a miniaturized device era, a number of promising methods have been developed to attain large-scale assemblies of micro- and nanoparticles. In this study, a novel method is proposed to firmly capture dispersed microparticles of nominal sizes of 10 μm on a two-dimensional array (1.0 × 1.0 mm2) of through-pores on a surface. This is obtained by dispensing a droplet of the particle dispersion on the pores, which drains by applying ...
