Investigation of defects on acoustic scattering in cloak by molding process
For this paper, molding- and casting-based microfabrication of metal microstructures was developed in order to replicate the acoustic cloak. The metal was cast into a stretchable PDMS mold, which was cast from micromachined aluminum cloak. For the PDMS mold, the mold release agent, trichlorosilane …

Polymer based microscale and nanoscale technologies for optical and biomedical application
… nanoscale patterns in PLLA films using replica-molding techniques. We produce very high fidelity replication of PLLA using double replication from master polycarbonate to PDMS mold and from PDMS mold to PLLA film by drop casting process. The surface characteristics of the nano-patterned film …

The Effect of Interleukin-1 (IL-1) Concentration on Single Cell NF-kappaB Activation in a Gradient-Generating Microfluidic Device
… is then used to create a Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) mold of the design which can be irreversibly attached to a glass slide through oxidation in order to close off the microfluidic channels. FITC-conjugated β-Casein (a protein with similar molecular weight to IL-1β) was used in order to verify …

Fluid Flow Characterization and In Silico Validation in a Rapid Prototyped Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Model
<p>Aortic aneurysms are the 14<sup>th</sup> leading cause of death in the United States. Annually, abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) ruptures are responsible for 4500 deaths. There are another 45,000 repair procedures performed to prevent rupture, and of these approximately 1400 lead to deaths. With …
