One of the technical barriers of nanofluidics is to drive nanofluids in nanochannels with super-high hydraulic resistance (MPa scale) and super-small volume (fL scale). Electric field driving method (eg. electroosmotic flow) is commonly used in nanofluidics, since the conventional pumps applied in microfluidics are limited by their low pressure and low control precision. However, the electric field driving method is not suitable for all kinds of the nanofluids, which could affect the biochemical reactions, and lead to electrolytic reactions. We have developed a new type of high pressure nanofluidic micro-pump based on electrolysis. The pump system consists of electrolytic chamber, pressure sensor, control circuit, electrolytic electrodes and sample chamber that connects to nanofluidic chip. In our nanofluidic micro-pump system, high pressure gas generated from the electrolytic chamber pushes the liquid sample into the nanochannel, and the driving pressure to the fluidic sample can stably reach to 20MPa. Our high pressure micro-pump is suitable for both microfluidic and nanofluidic applications due to its very high output pressure, high control precision, fast response and wide output range.","PeriodicalId":6583,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO)","volume":"139 1","pages":"32-36"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86775640","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}

Two lever mechanisms are utilized to amplify the output displacement of the PZT to achieve a large jaw desired output displacement. The symmetric lever mechanism and the jaws are designed separately and then the microgripper is constructed by assembling the two parts together. So different kinds of objects can be manipulated through designing different jaws, which broaden the application of the microgripper. The analytical model has been established based on pseudo-rigid-body (PRB) modeling method and matrix-based compliance modeling (MCM) method. According to the established model, the performance of the microgripper including amplification ratio, input stiffness and natural frequency are analyzed. Finite element analysis (FEA) is carried out to investigate the performance and validate the theoretical models for further optimum design of the microgripper.","PeriodicalId":6583,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO)","volume":"118 1","pages":"65-69"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87606987","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}

Co-MOF has high specific surface area due to the hollow structure with mesopore voids. The electrochemical behavior of the as-prepared Co-MOF was analyzed by cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy.

This report gives an overview of physical effects, in particular, solid state phase transitions and accompanying phenomena in alloys and composites exhibiting SME. The limitations pertaining to the minimum size of the nanomechanical devices exhibiting shape memory effect that arise due to the solid state phase transitions are now under discussion and have not been completely understood yet. The modern nanotechnologies allow designing of the mechanical micro- and nanotools, such as nanotweezers, nanopinchers etc., with an active layer thickness of about several tenths of nm, and whose overall size is below 1 μm. The nanotools with SME can be controlled by heating as well as by magnetic field activation in ferromagnetic alloys exhibiting SME, such as Ni2MnGa. 3D nanomanipulation is demonstrated by composite nanotweezers with SME in different nanoobjects, such as CNTs, nanowires, nanowhiskers, bionanoobjects, DNA, etc. In these devices, the surface interactions and Casimir and van der Waals forces affect the process of nanomanipulation. The prospects of nanorobotics and manufacturing on nanoscale adapting the principle of mechanical bottom-up nanoassembly are discussed. In addition, nanoscale measurements can take advantage of 3D mechanical nanomanipulation, including transportation of analytes to nanosensors, elasticity measurements by nanotools with calibrated force, etc.","PeriodicalId":6583,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO)","volume":"36 1","pages":"171-176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74112477","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 addition, we show the thickness of the intermediate dielectric layer of the proposed absorber affects the absorptivity, which is conducive to determine the initial processing parameters of the absorber. The study demonstrates that the graphene-based metamaterial absorber proposed in this paper has a simple structure and is easy to fabricate, moreover, it is very convenient to achieve the flexible tuning of metamaterial absorbers by biased voltages or chemical dopings, and it provides an important guide for designing dual-band absorbers with high absorptivity.","PeriodicalId":6583,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE International Conference on Manipulation, Manufacturing and Measurement on the Nanoscale (3M-NANO)","volume":"55 1","pages":"232-236"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81380035","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}
