Manipulating Porous Matter
The 3D-Printed Passive Flow Assay is made up of a porous body with precise spatial control over the internal surface chemistry. This novel concept is used to create 3D capillary flow channels and install mechanisms for chemical amplification and readout in point-of-care diagnostics.
The chemical vapor deposition method for depositing MOF thin films (MOF-CVD) enables a cleanroom-compatible process for gap-filling dielectrics with low-k values, mechanical stress-free deposition, and low-temperature processing (<150°C).
