The fabrication process involves the photolithography of a SU-8/Graphene nanocomposite with a minimum resolution of 50 μm, resulting in a material with excellent electrical conductivity and mechanical properties. Specifically, a 3% SU-8/Graphene composition was chosen to exceed the percolation threshold, enabling substantial changes in the resistance and facilitating photopatternability. The sensor exhibited exceptional performance characteristics, including a rapid response time of 0.1 s and a wide bending range from 0° to 60°. Notably, it demonstrated a remarkable %ΔR/R of 19.21, indicating its superior sensing capability. Such high sensitivity is crucial for applications that require precise, localized measurements, such as biomedical engineering, sports science, and smart healthcare.","PeriodicalId":16346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141948234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is developed based on the Donnell–Mushtari–Vlasov theory and the equivalent single layer method, and validated through finite element analysis. Utilizing the model, we further analyze the diaphragm’s vibration modes and key design parameters. The proposed strategy is centered on 2 design equations, facilitating the rapid design of devices at any frequency through parametric sweeps. Furthermore, to minimize bandwidth loss, we employ the merging of adjacent vibration modes to broaden the bandwidth. Using the proposed method for modes merging, we have effortlessly designed devices with operating frequencies of 2.15 MHz, 6.3 MHz, 10.65 MHz, and 18.75 MHz in water. For comparison, we also designed planar PMUTs and general curved PMUTs operating around 6 MHz and 15 MHz. Compared to planar PMUTs, curved PMUTs show exceptional performance improvements in output pressure and sensitivity. Moreover, the proposed strategy for bandwidth extension results in 1.33× and 1.25× bandwidth improvements around 6 MHz and 15 MHz.

We present the ‘UmboMic,’ a prototype piezoelectric cantilever microphone designed for future use with totally-implantable cochlear implants. Methods. The UmboMic sensor is made from polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) because of its low Young’s modulus and biocompatibility. The sensor is designed to fit in the middle ear and measure the motion of the underside of the eardrum at the umbo. To maximize its performance, we developed a low noise charge amplifier in tandem with the UmboMic sensor. This paper presents the performance of the UmboMic sensor and amplifier in fresh cadaveric human temporal bones. Results. When tested in human temporal bones, the UmboMic apparatus achieves an equivalent input noise of 32.3 dB SPL over the frequency range 100 Hz–7 kHz, good linearity, and a flat frequency response to within 10 dB from about 100 Hz–6 kHz. Conclusion. These results demonstrate the feasibility of a PVDF-based microphone when paired with a low-noise amplifier. The reported UmboMic apparatus is comparable in performance to a conventional hearing aid microphone. Significance. The proof-of-concept UmboMic apparatus is a promising step towards creating a totally-implantable cochlear implant. A completely internal system would enhance the quality of life of cochlear implant users.","PeriodicalId":16346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141741813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This culture system enables detailed analysis of synaptic function and morphology change in neurites at the single-neuron level, which is useful for elucidating the pathogenesis of neurological diseases and for evaluating the efficacy of therapeutic drugs for them. However, there was previously no device technology capable of simultaneously forming multiple single-neuron samples while allowing co-culture with astrocytes, which is essential for culture of a single neuron isolated from other neurons. In this study, we propose a novel microwell-array device for preparing single-neuron samples. The device consists of an upper layer for cell seeding and a lower layer for cell culture. Each layer has 16 × 16 microwells, and the bottom of each well is made of a 1 μm thick silicon nitride membrane. The membrane of the upper well has one microhole for seeding a single neuron, and the lower membrane has multiple microholes for interaction between a single neuron and astrocytes which are co-cultured back-to-back on both sides of the membrane. When neurons are seeded into the upper well, only one of them passes through the microhole in the upper membrane and falls onto the lower membrane. We evaluated a seeding efficiency of single neurons by changing seeding hole diameter and seeding density. The results showed that the yield of more than 20% was obtained regardless of the seeding density when the seeding hole diameter was 13 μm. We also confirmed that single neurons seeded in this manner and co-cultured with astrocytes developed neurites and formed synapses. These results demonstrated the usefulness of this device for the preparation of single-neuron culture samples.","PeriodicalId":16346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141741815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several methods have been developed to fabricate different sizes and shapes of MN using polymers, ceramics and metals. However, most of these methods require expensive sophisticated machines and clean room facilities. So, it is difficult to fabricate microneedle arrays in large quantities at a reasonable cost. This study reports the fabrication of a high-quality stainless steel master pattern for an MN array using a wire-cut electric discharge machining process followed by electrochemical polishing (ECP). Different densities of a 5 × 5 array of microneedles with pyramidal shapes were fabricated by machining channels onto the workpiece surface in a criss-cross pattern. A systematic experimental study was carried out with reference to the offset between the two consecutive channel faces and the depth of channels. The output parameters are MN height (MNH), MN base (MNBW) and tip width (MNTW). The average needle tip width, base width, and height of microneedles were found to be 55.3 ± 5 µm, 679.8 ± 10 µm, and 914.7 ± 19 µm. Finally, the sharpness of the MN tips and the overall surface finish of the MN array were improved with ECP. The reductions in MNH, MNBW, and MNTW were reported to be −18.3%, −9.7%, and −95.4%, respectively, with a final tip width of 2.55 ± 1.62 µm. The MNs’ tip angle was reported to be 32.52° ± 1.56.","PeriodicalId":16346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141608477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 6-DOF stage adopts a configuration that is composed of eight parallel driving branch chains. Each branch chain is driven by a voice coil motor and incorporates a parallelogram flexure mechanism and a decoupling mechanism for guidance and decoupling. The positioning stage is symmetrically arranged and possesses the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. As a result, assembly errors are significantly reduced and positioning accuracy is enhanced. The decoupling mechanism uses a large stroke flexible ball joint that increases the motion range of the positioning stage and decouples the coupled motion, thereby enhancing the stability and accuracy of the stage. To evaluate the performance of the stage, static and dynamic analytical models of the 6-DOF stage are derived based on the compliance matrix method and the Lagrangian dynamic modeling method. Additionally, the accuracy of the analytical models and the static and dynamic performances of the positioning stage are verified through finite element analysis (FEA) and experimental testing. The experimental results demonstrate that the stage realizes a workspace of 2.06 mm × 2.02 mm × 3.1 mm × 23.4 mrad × 23.1 mrad × 14.9 mrad. Finally, to verify the tracking performance trajectory of the 6-DOF positioning stage, tracking experiments are performed using a controller that combines a proportional-integral controller and a notch filter.","PeriodicalId":16346,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Micromechanics and Microengineering","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141587760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Amplitude uniformity is a crucial parameter in UMHE in order to manufacture micro parts with accurate dimensions and high-quality surfaces, even though limited research has been conducted on the uniformity of ultrasonic amplitude at the horn face during the embossing process. This paper presents an experimental and numerical study for designing an ultrasonic transducer and horn tailored to the micro hot embossing of polymer micro parts. A finite element (FE) simulation model combined with the Taguchi method has been developed to optimize the horn geometry and maximum amplitude uniformity. The Taguchi orthogonal array of 25 design runs has been generated and simulated using the developed FE modal analysis model, and then the optimized geometry was used to fabricate the horn. Applied torque and operating time calibrate and evaluate the transducer vibration characteristics. Experimental and simulation results revealed that the fabricated ultrasonic transducer and horn of a straight microfeature has a natural frequency of 28.8 kHz and has an 11 µm average peak-to-peak amplitude with 0.963 amplitude homogeneity along the microfeature face. The achieved frequency separation was greater than 0.85 kHz, whereas the gain ratio was 1.2. The design methodology developed in this paper showed great potential and has been numerically validated for various microfeature shapes across the horn face.

To facilitate the ability to create microfluidic EBFCs, a carbon cloth (CC) has been considered since they are effective renewable energy sources and utilized as the ideal paper-based substitute for traditional power supplies for a variety of tiny devices due to their inherent qualities and exceptional performance. The developed microfluidic EBFC utilized glucose as a fuel, carbon cloth as the bioelectrode, Glucose oxidase for the anode, and laccase for the cathode. The maximum stable open circuit voltage of CC-EBFC was measured to be 475 mV with a peak power density of 85 µW cm−2 at 300 mV and a current density of 484 µA cm−2. The power performance of the device was improved by bovine serum albumin and a booster circuit, which was also coated and connected to the load to stabilize the performance. The novelty of the work is that using a flexible substrate of carbon cloth, with a microfluidic channel, has an added advantage in the biofuel cell.
