Printed circuit boards as platform for disposable Lab-on-a-Chip applications Christian Leiterer,a,b Matthias Urban,b Wolfgang Fritzsche,b Ewa Goldys a and David Inglisa* aMacquarie University, Department of Physics and Engineering, 2109 Sydney, Australia bUniversity Jena / Leibniz-Institute of Photonic Technology, Albert-Einstein-Strasse 9, Jena, Germany Abstract. An increasing demand in performance from electronic devices has resulted in continuous shrinking of electronic components. This shrinkage has demanded that the primary integration platform, the printed circuit board (PCB), follow this same trend. Today, PCB companies offer ~100 micron sized features (depth and width) which mean they are becoming suitable as physical platforms for Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) and microfluidic applications. Compared to current lithographic based fluidic approaches; PCB technology offers several advantages that are useful for this technology. These include: Being easily designed and changed using free software, robust structures that can often be reused, chip layouts that can be ordered from commercial PCB suppliers at very low cost (1 AUD each in this work), and integration of electrodes at no additional cost.

These effects lead to the possibility to localize and control energy and matter at nanoscales and to produce self-organized nano-solids with highly unusual and superior properties. A unifying conceptual framework based on the control of production, transport, and self-organization of precursor species is introduced and a variety of plasma- specific non-equilibrium and kinetics-driven phenomena across the many temporal and spatial scales is explained. When the plasma is localized to micrometer and nanometer dimensions, new emergent phenomena arise. The examples range from semiconducting quantum dots and nanowires, chirality control of single-walled carbon nanotubes, ultra-fine manipulation of graphenes, nano-diamond, and organic matter, to nano-plasma effects and nano-plasmas of different states of matter.

  • Sustainable Nanoscience for a Sustainable Future Kostya Ostrikov
    Sustainable nanoscience for a sustainable future Kostya Ostrikov Plasma Nanoscience Center Australia (PNCA), CSIRO Materials Science and Engineering. Abstract: Sustainability is commonly perceived as the capacity to endure some challenges, obstacles, stress, varied conditions, etc., and to continue normal or even improving operation. This concept has recently become global and is currently applied to economies, environment, ecosystems, industries, natural resource management, and several other fields of human activities. This presentation introduces the concept of sustainable nanoscience [1] and illustrates using a focused example of plasma-based growth of carbon nanotubes. This concept relates control of energy and matter at nanoscales (Grand Science Challenges) to practical applications that are relevant to a sustainable future of humankind (Grand Societal Challenges). Specific roles of plasma-related effects in nanoscale synthesis and processing that lead to superior properties and performance of nanomaterials in relevant applications are also examined [2]. The path toward the impact in the age of sustainable development is also discussed. Future opportunities of this research field to contribute to the solution of the problems of the sustainability age are also highlighted. [1] K. Ostrikov, IEEE Trans.

The plasma-related effects on the characteristics of SWCNT growth are studied. It is found that in the presence of reactive radicals in addition to energetic ions inside the plasma sheath area, the effective carbon flux, and the growth rate of SWCNT increase. It is shown that the concentration of atomic hydrogen and hydrocarbon radicals in the plasma plays an important role in the SWCNT growth.

In recent years, the overwhelming success of its different modalities has been accompanied by various efforts to carry out imaging deeper inside living tissues. A key challenge of these efforts is to overcome scattering and absorption of light in such environments. Multiple strategies (e.g. multi-photon, wavefront correction techniques) extended the penetration depth to the current state-of-the-art of about 1000μm at the resolution of approximately 1μm. The only viable strategy for imaging deeper than this is by employing a fibre bundle based endoscope.
