A Si template is patterned by lithography and selective surface treatment to have spatially different surface energies that induce microfluidic self-patterning of a spincoated polymer layer. Biocompatible diblock co-polymer and SU8 are patterned using this method to form monodisperse and shape specific microstructures. After patterning, these particles are lifted off the template surface into aqueous solution. The template is then cleaned and re-used. These freestanding polymer particles with uniform and precise spherical morphology can be used as carriers for drug and imaging agents for biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":6415,"journal":{"name":"2007 7th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO)","volume":"97 6 1","pages":"295-300"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87702739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, it requires a novel approach to measure the physical properties of nano-thickness membrane due to its nano-scale dimension. Currently, many potential applications for the nanoscale structures are not really practical because their mechanical properties have not been established. In this study, a suspended high aspect ratio silicon nitride nano-thickness membrane is fabricated by using silicon micro-machining. The membrane has a thickness of 30 nm and an area of 4 mm by 7 mm, as shown in Fig.1. Young's modulus of the silicon nitride nano-thickness membrane is determined from the deflection of the suspended membrane, which is resulted from the weight of membrane itself.","PeriodicalId":6415,"journal":{"name":"2007 7th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO)","volume":"93 1","pages":"1341-1344"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76100533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In-vitro and in-vivo experiments showed the feasibility of hyperthermia cancer therapy. The relationship between temperature rise and cell survival rate was also investigated. While CT-26 colon cancer cells were heated above 45degC, the survival rate of cancer cells would be greatly reduced. A temperature increase as high as 59.5degC can be successfully generated in rat livers. In-vivo tests also indicated that hyperthermia cancer therapy using this approach could significantly suppress the growth rate of tumors by utilizing concentrated magnetic nanoparticles and temperature-sensitive hydrogel, which was used to secure the nanoparticles in the target tumor tissue. Furthermore, a feedback temperature control system was successfully developed to keep the nanoparticles at a constant temperature to prevent overheating in the tumors such that a safer and more precise cancer therapy is feasible. The developed technique may be promising for the hyperthermia cancer therapy.","PeriodicalId":6415,"journal":{"name":"2007 7th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO)","volume":"76 1","pages":"969-974"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90996448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, the nanostructures of stamps are fabricated by electron-beam lithography (EBL). The diameters of period pillar nanopatterns on the silicon-based stamps are 150 nm and 200 nm, receptively. The influence of silicon-based stamp substrate can be investigated by contact angle measurement after modifying the chemical coating treatment for imprinted thin polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films. To control the forming of fabricated nanopatterns, the simulation can be done to obtain the effects of patterning distortion during this NIL process. In addition, the study employs atomic force microscopy (AFM) to obtain a simultaneous observation for the morphologies of silicon-based and imprinted PMMA polymer nanostructures interface. The results indicate an over 95% improvement for silicon-based nanopatterns with the anti-adhesive properties in NIL process.","PeriodicalId":6415,"journal":{"name":"2007 7th IEEE Conference on Nanotechnology (IEEE NANO)","volume":"48 1","pages":"795-798"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85597142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
