A novel combination of ink-jet printing (IJP) and micro-transfer moulding (μ-TM) for high-resolution, heterogeneous material microstructuring is demonstrated. First, IJP is used to accurately fill the micro-cavities in an elastomeric mould, thus avoiding t ...

We present the fabrication and characterization of large arrays of inkjet-printed superparamagnetic polymer composite (SPMPC) hemispherical microstructures. SPMPCs are appealing for applications in microsystems and nanorobotics due to the added functionali ...

This paper presents the experimental and numerical study of hydrophobic interaction forces at nanometer scale in the scope of engineering micron-sized building blocks for self-assembly in liquid. The hydrophobic force distance relation of carbon, Teflon an ...

Ink-jet printing of optical ink over SU-8 pillars is here proposed as a technology for obtaining microlenses with shape control. To demonstrate the flexibility of this method, microlenses with five different contour shapes (ranging from circular and ellipt ...

Fluid-mediated self-assembly is one of the most promising routes for assembling and packaging smart microsystems in a scalable and cost-efficient way. In this work the pairwise fluidic self-assembly of 100 μm-sized SU-8 cylinders is studied with respect to ...

Well-controlled spherical microstructures open new possibilities for several MEMS devices, such as hemispherical microfluidic channels or micro-optical elements. However, machining of micro-spherical shapes has proven to be difficult with conventional plan ...

Planar lithography techniques are not effective for precise fabrication of microdevices with hemispherical shapes. Drop-on-demand (DOD) inkjet printing (IJP) of photo-curable ink is a more appropriate fabrication approach as it takes advantage of the surfa ...

This paper presents the realization of a hydrodynamic microfluidic trap with the goal of sorting MEMS for self-assembly experiments in liquid. A simplified analytical design rule has been compiled and numerically verified. Microfluidic devices have been fa ...

In this paper, we present the theoretical background, design, fabrication and characterization of a micromachined chamber assisting the fluidic self-assembly of micro-electro-mechanical systems in a bulk liquid. Exploiting bubble-induced acoustic microstre ...
