Reprint of "food-grade electrospinning of proteins"

Developing non-meat food products with an appealing structure is a challenge. In this study, we investigate the possibility to produce thin fibrils as building blocks for texturally interesting meat replacers. The technique applied is electrospinning - a technique which produces thin fibrils with a high aspect ratio. The spinning of proteins is...

Roll-to-roll UV imprint lithography for flexible electronics

We propose a roll-to-roll UV imprint lithography tool as a way to pattern flexible PET foil with µm-resolution. As a way to overcome dimensional instability of the foil and its effect on overlay, a self-align approach was investigated, that permits to make several layers in a single lithography step. Flexible Ni-stamps were used, with a single...

Roll-to-roll UV imprint for bottom-up transistor fabrication

We propose a design to fabricate transistors on flexible substrates in a bottom-up fashion using R2R UV-imprint lithography. The design consists of a template composed of multilevel as well as gray level features, the later used to facilitate device interconnection. A hard mold is fabricated by LBR and a flexible Ni replica is done using Ni...

Novel imprinting techniques for fabrication of multilevel flexible electronics

We report a novel method to selectively deposit materials from solution into imprinted micro-capillaries. Dewetting of the solvent just outside the capillaries is balanced to evaporation inside the capillaries. In this way conductive u-wires can be self-assembled and self-aligned on flexible substrates opening the route to faster and cheaper...

Preparation and properties of a novel remendable coating concept

Key properties of organic coatings, such as mechanical strength and solvent resistance, are greatly influenced by the structure of the polymeric binder. In general, a 3-dimensional polymeric network gives the best properties and therefore most performance coatings have a 3-dimensional network structure. However, 3-dimensional networks cannot...
