Micromachined printheads for the direct evaporative patterning of organic materials
… The design and fabrication of a compact electrostatic actuator enabling the first generation of printhead is first presented. It is then used to actuate a microshutter, and modulate the flux of evaporated organic materials in a vacuum chamber. We prove the feasibility of evaporative …

Effect of Space Charges on Micro- to Nanoscale Electrostatic Actuation
… becomes important on micro- to nanoscale electrostatic actuations because the appropriate phenomenological electrostatic length scale is on the order of the physical scale of the system. A 1-D electromechanical model has been developed to provide quantitative analysis of the effect of the …

Electrostatic actuators for portable microfluidic systems
… and ease of integration. My research centers on electrostatic actuators, due to their conceptual simplicity and the efficacy of electrostatic forces on the microscale. To ensure easy integration with polymer-based systems, and to maintain simplicity in the fabrication procedure, the actuators …
