Novel architecture for entrapment of elastomeric membranes in microfluidic systems

Creator:

Blackwell, Edward P.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a novel microlamination architecture that enables the large scale integration of valves into low cost micro energy and chemical systems via membrane entrapment. Polycarbonate layers embossed with microfluidic channels were bonded by ultrasonic welding of raised embossed protrusions that penetrate though the PDMS membranes. The bonding pressure...

Nanoparticle-assisted diffusion brazing of metal microchannel arrays : nanoparticle synthesis, deposition, and characterization

Creator:

Eluri, Ravindranadh T.

Abstract:

Microchannel process technology (MPT) offers several advantages to the field of nanomanufacturing: 1) improved process control over very short time intervals owing to shorter diffusional distances; and 2) reduced reactor size due to high surface area to volume ratios and enhanced heat and mass transfer. The objective of this thesis...

Design, fabrication and testing of a high temperature ceramic microreactor for synthesizing silicon nitride nanoparticles

Creator:

Jain, Kartavya

Abstract:

An alumina microreactor was designed and fabricated to study the synthesis of nanosized silicon nitride powder via the ammonolysis of SiO vapor at temperatures ranging from 1300°C to 1400°C. It is the first high temperature ceramic microreactor capable of operating at temperatures upto 1600°C. The microreactor was designed using 3D...
