Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Illustrative embodiments of microdevices and methods of manufacturing such microdevices are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, one or more microdevices may be formed on a substrate, with each of the one or more microdevices comprising a body micromachined from a continuous film formed on the substrate, the continuous film having a controlled microstructure of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . Apparatus comprising: one or more microdevices formed on a substrate, each of the one or more microdevices comprising a body micromachined from a continuous film formed on the substrate, the continuous film having a controlled microstructure of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). 2 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controlled microstructure of the CNC is an isotropic microstructure. 3 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controlled microstructure of the CNC comprises one or more anisotropic domains and one or more isotropic domains. 4 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the controlled microstructure of the CNC comprises one or more anisotropic domains retained from a liquid crystalline microstructure of a liquid dispersion used to form the solid film. 5 . The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the CNC have a tailored surface chemistry configured to control at least one of a mechanical property, an electrical property, an optical property, and a biological property of the one or more microdevices.
