Laser Treated Paper for Microfluidic Applications
Patterning paper to create hydrophilic and hydrophobic structures for microfluidic platforms has several shortcomings, such as limited resolutions (millimeter scale in wax printing), multistep processing, and an inability to easily integrate and embed multifunctional materials on paper. Researchers at Purdue University have developed a laser based hydrophilic patterning technique for hydrophobic paper. This technology offers higher resolution printing, multi-material patterning capability, material embedment, simultaneous surface processing and micromachining, and is more robust compared to current implementations.
