Custom Surface Modification for Micro/Nanosensors
Researchers at Purdue University have developed a unique method to create custom, functionalized surfaces for micro/nanosensors. This method combines water-absorbing spores and chemical retaining hydrogel to create a microscale "paintbrush" that can be grasped and moved by a micromanipulator, allowing the user to control the amount of chemical released and functionalize multiple areas in close proximity using completely different patterns and chemical concentrations.
