Funded Activity Summary

Micro-patterning of fluoropolymer surfaces for electronic and biomaterials applications. Formation of micro-patterned structures on fluoropolymers including PTFE, FEP and PVDF will be performed using micro-contact printing techniques in combination with surface graft co-polymerisation; an innovative convergence of two emerging technologies. Surface modification and structures formed will be investigated using contact angle measurements and mapping, and surface analytical techniques (XPS and TOFSIMS). Processing methodologies will be identified which allow formation of micrometre scale tracks, and selected area deposition of sensor films and reactive biomaterials. Trial device fabrication will be undertaken using conditions and device structures similar to those required for production of diagnostic sensors and arrays, and polymer-based electronic devices.
