In recent years, various technologies dedicated to the formation of
micro- and nanostructures have been intensively developed.
Microstructures and nanostructures are manufactured from various
materials with different parameters in a wide range of industrial
sectors. These structures are used in devices such as biosensors,
optical devices, microfluidic devices, electronic components, fluid
mixing devices, particle separation or mixing devices, and
single-molecule analysis devices. In this book technologies are being
developed for the formation of nano/micro structures that allow the
creation of new types of functional elements used in bioengineering. A
magnetostrictive converter was developed and studied for the formation
of microstructures in polymers, and a newly developed technology using
mechanical vibrations during the chemical process was used to form
aluminum nanopores. The synergy of these two technologies ensures the
creation of a new type of functional elements used in bioengineering.
It is presented how to replace the piezoelectric transducer with a
magnetostrictive transducer in order to improve hot embossing
technology for formation microstructures in polymers. The improved
transducer would not only allow for the formation of structures at
higher temperatures but would also eliminate the need for an
additional heating element which generates a significant amount of
heat during the process, thus optimising the device. The important
aspects of this system include determining the working parameters of
the structure formation which affect the quality and reproducibility
of the structures. Research related to nanostructured nanoporous
membranes has been receiving a lot of attention from scientists and
businesspeople, which is why it is important to develop technologies
and deepen knowledge about the chemical and physical processes that
take place during fabrication to solve the challenges related to
nanostructured membranes. Having it in mind this book presents a novel
fabrication technology of nanoporous AAO membranes using vibrations,
including production processes, their parameters, and a description of
the properties of the fabricated membranes. Moreover, the book
presents a technology for replicating the geometry of the AAO membrane
in a biocompatible chitosan membrane, when nanopillars are formed on
the surface of the chitosan membrane. It also presents the
relationships and interactions studied between various parameters,
which is achieved by presenting sets of experimental results.
Combining these technologies the manufacturing of functional elements
and their application to bioengineering. The book will be useful for
researchers not only in Mechanical Engineering but also for Material
Science and Chemical Engineering. It could be used for master and
Ph.D. students too.
