Abstract

This study presents the development of electrostatic dual-carbon-fiber (CF) microgrippers for the precise manipulation of single SiO2 microparticles (diameters >3 µm) at low operating voltages of 5 to 15 V. Theoretical calculations and finite element analysis (FEA) simulations demonstrate that the microgrippers utilize a non-uniform electric field generated by dual CF electrodes to create a dielectrophoresis force for the pick-and-place manipulation of microparticle. After the removal of dielectrophoresis force by turning off the voltage, particle release is facilitated by van der Waals forces from the substrate surface. This approach eliminates the need for additional corona discharge fields or vibrational separators for particle release, ensuring accurate 2D patterning and 3D stacking of SiO2 microparticles. The microgrippers show significant potential for applications in the individual separation and assembly of microparticles, such as lunar soil and interstellar dust, as well as single-cell extraction and positioning. Additionally, the developed microgrippers offer broad utility in micro/nano-manufacturing, micro/nano-electronic circuits, physics, chemistry, and biomedicine.

静电双碳纤维微夹持器的研制,用于单微粒的精确二维图案和三维堆叠。
本研究提出了一种静电双碳纤维(CF)微钳的开发,用于在5至15 V的低工作电压下精确操作单个SiO2微颗粒(直径bbb30µm)。理论计算和有限元分析(FEA)模拟表明,微夹持器利用双CF电极产生的非均匀电场来产生介电力,用于微粒的拾取和放置操作。在通过关闭电压去除介电泳力后,基底表面的范德华力促进了颗粒的释放。这种方法消除了额外的电晕放电场或振动分离器用于颗粒释放的需要,确保了SiO2微颗粒的精确2D图案和3D堆叠。这种微夹持器在单个微粒的分离和组装方面显示出巨大的应用潜力,例如月球土壤和星际尘埃,以及单细胞提取和定位。此外,开发的微夹持器在微/纳米制造,微/纳米电子电路,物理,化学和生物医学方面具有广泛的用途。
