GE4000 Research in Microsystems and Nanotechnology

To complete my minor in Microsystems and Nanotechnology at UW-Platteville, I will be doing a research project.  This will involve 135 hours of time in the lab using the cleanroom here to do independent studies.  This project will be able to demonstrate the impact of surface treatment of micro-nanofluidic channel wall on slip flow and electrokinectic flow. Surface topography measurements and surface roughness measurements using AFM inside nanofluidic channels will be taken and electrolyte solutions with different pH and concentration will be created.

As of today, the surface roughness of the nanofluidic channels have been calculated.  Here are some of the 3d images generated using tools supplied by Asylum Research:
