    Abstract: Methods for fabricating nanostructures and articles associated therewith are described. In some embodiments, an isolated nanostructure (e.g., a metal nanowire) or an array of nanostructures can be fabricated by depositing a material (e.g., a metal) on a surface having a plurality of protrusions or indentations. At least a portion of the deposited material may be embedded in an encapsulating material, and the encapsulating material can be cut, for instance, to form a thin slice that includes the deposited material at least partially embedded therein. In some instances, the slice can be positioned on a surface in a desired arrangement. The encapsulating material can be removed from the surface to form one or more isolated nanostructures of the deposited material. Advantageously, dimensions of the nanostructures can be controlled to, e.g., 15 run, to form nanostructures having a variety of shapes and geometries (e.g., wires, rings, and cylinders). Nanostructures can also be formed in a variety of materials, including metals, ceramics, and polymers. In addition, nanostructures can also be fabricated over large areas (e.g., greater than 1 mm 2 ). In some cases, these nanostructures are positioned in association with other components, e.g., to form a functional component of a device.

    Abstract: In one aspect, methods of patterning of thin films of an ionotropic polymer (e.g., poly(acrylic acid)) are provided. These processes can create micron or sub-micron-scale patterns of ionotropic polymers such as cation crosslinked poly(acrylic acid) (CCL- PAA). In one embodiment, patterning may be performed within microfluidic channels by flowing a solution of crosslinking agent (e.g., metal cations such as Ag + , Ca 2+ , Pd 2+ , Al 3+ , La 3+ , and Ti 4+ ) that can crosslink a portion of an ionotropic polymer in contact with the solution. In another embodiment, methods of patterning ionotropic polymers involve photolithography. Upon patterning a positive photoresist (e.g., diazonaphthoquinone- novolac resin) on a film of CCL-PAA, the exposed regions of CCL-PAA can be etched by an aqueous solution. Advantageously, the patterned, crosslinked polymer may also serve as both a reactant and a matrix for subsequent chemistry. For example, in some embodiments, the initial crosslinking cation can be exchanged for a second cation that could not be patterned photolithographically. Patterned films of CCL-PAA can also be used to host and template the reduction of metallic cations to metallic nanoparticles, and to fabricate porous, low-k dielectric substrates.

    Abstract: The multiplexed electrochemical microfluidic paper-based analytical device comprises multiple detection zones for the detection of multiple biochemical analytes from one single sample. Cavity valves integrated on the device will deliver the sample to different detection zones. These analytes include, but are not limited to, urea, creatinine, creatine, glucose, lactate, ethanol, uric acid, cholesterol, pyruvate, creatinine, β-hydroxybutyrate, alanine aminotrasferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, and acetylcholinesterase (or its inhibitors). This system will provide a simple and low-cost POC approach to obtain quantitative and multiple biological information from one sample (e.g. one drop of blood).
