Development of light actuated chemical delivery platform on a 2-D array of micropore structure
Abstract
dc:description.abstract<p>Localized chemical delivery plays an essential role in the fundamental information transfers within biological systems. Thus, the ability to mimic the natural chemical signal modulation would provide significant contributions to understand the functional signaling pathway of biological cells and develop new prosthetic devices for neurological disorders. In this paper, we demonstrate a light-controlled hydrogel platform that can be used for localized chemical delivery in a high spatial resolution. By utilizing the photothermal behavior of graphene-hydrogel composites confined within micron-sized fluidic channels, patterned light illumination creates the parallel and independent actuation of chemical release in a group of fluidic ports. The new platform promises the feasibility of creating a novel synaptic interface with large arrayed chemical stimulation capability toward biochemically controlled neural prosthesis systems.</p>
