A new technology for creating complex microstructures
Baku, July 18 (AZERTAC). Professor John Forkas and his Colleagues University of Maryland (USA) presented new materials and new nanotechnology method by which you can get miniature versions of the components needed for medical diagnostics, sensors and other similar applications. The scientist believes that this micro detail, many of which can not be made by conventional methods, will reduce the cost of the medical tests at a lower required volume of the sample. Mr. Forkas and his team have developed a unique method of point-lithography and materials that make possible the simultaneous 3D-manipulation with microscopic objects using optical tweezers. According to a report published in the journal Chemical Science, using a combination of these technologies can be difficult to collect three-dimensional structure of the set of microscopic objects. The work is based on the earlier study of the same band, allowing visible light to create tiny structures that are designed for the production of integrated circuits and optical communications. The method is an open group John Forkasa effective way to use chemistry of radical generation by multi-photon absorption in the aquatic environment. The combination of multi-photon initiating polymerization and optical tweezers has allowed not only to collect directly from the three-dimensional structure of microscopic objects, but also to create objects such as microthreads. According to scientists, all of this fundamentally expands the arsenal of methods available for the production of functional microstructures in the aquatic environment. The technology is compatible with a variety of materials, the researchers said. For example, you can weave together the threads of completely different songs to create new functional micro materials or build microscopic devices, which are the building blocks, have different chemical and physical properties.
