Then, flexible PDMS layers embedded with SiNW matrix were mechanically peeled from the Si wafers.
This process yields a large area single crystalline ZnO nanowire array embedded in a transparent, yet mechanically and chemically robust PDMS sheet (as illustrated in the inset schematic of Figure 2a).
The SiNW arrays thus embedded in the PDMS coating were mechanically peeled from the substrate with a razor blade.
We successfully designed the liquid crystal cell embedded with a SPF that enabled us to mechanically rotate the orientation of NLC on the polished surface of the SPF.
The mechanically strong PLGA sponge functioned as a skeleton and prevented the embedded collagen sponge from collapsing.
Washed ash was also embedded in epoxy resin (Buehler Epothin™), cross sectioned, and polished mechanically using Micromesh® cloths.
This PDMS matrix together with the embedded ZnO wires can be then removed from the wafer mechanically.
Individual colon-draining mesenteric lymph nodes were either processed for morphology (some embedded in paraffin and others frozen for cryosectionning) or were mechanically disrupted to obtain a suspension of mononuclear cells.
When SiO2-IMI@SHSC was mechanically scratched, SiO2-IMI were in response to corrosive environmental stimuli and released embedded HMID molecules to form protective molecular film and provide the reliable protection for a damaged metal surface.
This unique composite structure is embedded in between two polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) packaging layers to form a mechanically flexible and robust capacitive sensor.
