Flexography is a roll-based mass printing process used in manufacture of printed products such as sensors, self-cleaning surfaces, and flexible electronics. Flexography involves inking of a stamp wrapped around a roller, and the transfer of ink on the stamp surface to a printing ... Read More
Microcontact printing is a method for depositing patterns of thin films or molecular monolayers on surfaces using a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamp for selective mechanical contact (Figure 1). Undesired deformation of the stamp features during printing affects printed pattern quality. ... Read More
In our study of chaotic mixing, 3D velocity measurements (u,v,w) are required for evaluation of a micro mixer using a mix-prediction algorithm. The hybrid approach presented here combines 2D measurements, an imperfect numerical model, and appropriate fitting parameters. Because our ... Read More
AC electrothermal (ACET) micropumps are based on the temperature gradient caused by Joule heating or an external heat source in the bulk of an electrolyte. In this paper, a 2D simulation was performed to study the effect of substrate thickness and material (glass and silicon) for an ACET ... Read More
Flow focusing microchannels are widely used in droplet generation mechanisms. In this paper, the effect of linear vibration on the flow pattern in a flow focusing structure and the corresponding formed droplets were numerically investigated using COMSOL Multiphysics® software. The ... Read More
Different facilities for hadrontherapy have been built in the recent past. AISHa ion source has been designed by keeping in mind the typical requirements of hospital-based facilities, where the minimization of the mean time between failures (MTBF) is a key point together with the ... Read More
Design and manufacture of thrusters for producing very low thrust force in the range of milli or micro newtons using micronozzles has been actively developed in the last decade. The nature of propellant flow in such micronozzles differs from that of macro nozzles. In micronozzles, ... Read More

（1）研究内容及难点：电极腐蚀是电润湿器件主要失效模式。鉴于电润湿核心功能层（疏水绝缘层）多为多孔结构的现实，电场作用下导电流体在孔径中的传输行为对理解电极失效机理有重要意义。本文拟通过引入电渗流、电毛细耦合作用，揭示疏水绝缘层中复杂交错的孔洞内部流体运动规律，预测穿透孔径形成腐蚀通路的阈值条件。该研究的难点主要是需要考虑纳米孔洞中存在的空气域，需要计算纳米孔洞中电渗流如何挤压空气域到达绝缘层底部的电极表面。 （2）COMSOL Multiphysics仿真：仿真运用两相流和静电场，由于疏水绝缘层材料接触水后，会产生负的表面电荷，以及在电场的作用下，由Young ... Read More
基于纸基微流控芯片(μPAD)的核酸提取和扩增反应需均匀稳定、快速响应的热源。半导体制冷器具有无需制冷剂和体积小等优点，可为纸基芯片提供便携式、低功耗分析平台。相较于其他传统核酸扩增与检测设备，μPAD可以借助内部纤维结构的毛细作用自驱动输送流体介质。并且，微尺度下纤维结构具备较高的比表面积，在原理上可改善常规比色、荧光等检测方法的检出限和精准度。然而，滤纸材料本征参数对试剂溶液动态扩散过程和反应结果影响很大，数值仿真模拟是μPAD性能分析和优化设计的重要途径。本文应用COMSOL®热电效应耦合模块和非等温流动耦合模块，获取芯片内部的温度场信息，评价μPAD温控系统设计 ...
