Nanofabrication
Biochip
A biochip is a miniaturized device that contains biological or biochemical material and is used for various applications such as DNA analysis, drug discovery, and medical diagnostics. Fabrication of biochips involves the use of microfabrication techniques to create small structures, typically on the scale of micrometers or nanometers, that can hold and manipulate biological or biochemical materials. Some common fabrication techniques include photolithography, microcontact printing, and electrochemical deposition.
Laser beam machining
Laser beam machining is a type of material processing that uses a focused laser beam to vaporize, melt, or burn away material from a target surface. This process can be used to cut, drill, or ablate a wide variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites. Considering heat transfer and wettability, we provide optimal design manufacturing parameters. Using this, we fabricate various engineering systems ranging from organ-on-a-chip to biosensors.
Electrospinning
Electrospinning is a process used to create extremely fine fibers from a polymer solution or melt by using an electric field. The process is simple, inexpensive, and can produce fibers of different polymers. These fibers have a high surface area-to-volume ratio and mechanical strength, making them useful for various applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, water filtration, and energy storage. Using this method with hygroscopic materials, we produce fibrous nanosheets showing anisotropic and hyperresponsive deformation.
