Abstract:
PURPOSE: A rheology model selecting method for electronic printing using a micro PIV system and a micro flow chip is provided to minimize the consumption of fluid sample when a rheology model is selected by measuring non-Newtonian fluid through the fluid of 100 micron liter. CONSTITUTION: The speed distribution of non-Newtonian fluid is measured by a micro PIV(Particle Image Velocimeter) system(S1). The non-Newtonian fluid flows inside a micro flow chip. The pressure drop of the non-Newtonian fluid is measured by the micro PIV system(S2). By speed distribution and pressure drop values, relation between shear stress and shear strain are drawn(S3). By the relation, the viscosity about the non-Newtonian fluid is calculated(S4). The viscosity is marked by the graph. By the graph, the rheology model of the non-Newtonian fluid is selected(S5).

PURPOSE: A microfluidic filter based on the three-dimensional network of carbon nanotubes and a method for manufacturing the same are provided to filter particles of specific particle sizes by adjusting the density of the three-dimensional network of the carbon nanotubes. CONSTITUTION: A microfluidic filter includes the tree-dimensional network of carbon nanotubes coated with metal oxides. The filtering size of the microfluidic filter is adjusted according to the density of the three-dimensional network of the carbon nanotubes. A method for manufacturing the microfluidic filter includes the following: silicon fillers are formed on a silicon substrate; the silicon substrate is immersed in a metal bicatalyst solution to uniformly absorb the metal bicatalyst on the substrate; carbon source gas is supplied to the substrate with absorbed catalyst to form the three dimensional network of carbon nanotubes between silicon filler; a metal oxide is coated on the three-dimensional network of the carbon nanotubes based on an atomic layer deposition method; and the heights and the gaps of the silicon fillers are adjusted to control the density of the three-dimensional network of the carbon nanotubes.
