Fluidic Assembly: Case Studies and Technological Applications
Massimo Mastrangeli
IEMN Micro and Nano-Systems Seminar Series
Fluid flows, surface tension effects, hydrophobic interactions and fluid/fluid
interfaces are ubiquitous in everyday life; and while they have a rich physics, they also make
up for an important technological toolbox. Interestingly, they can be engineered
to assist the alternative and efficient assembly of functional systems out of building blocks of a broad
variety of sizes, materials and degrees of sophistication.
In this talk I will survey three scenarios, wherein the general principles of self-assembly
and the benefits of fluidics are conjugated across physical scales to develop new technological
systems. Embodiments include liquid-filled sealed MEMS capsules, sensor-in-foil systems and nanoparticle-based plasmonic structures.
