BIOFUNCTIONAL NANOFIBERS FOR ANALYTE SEPARATION IN MICROCHANNELS

摘要

A method is provided for producing, in a substrate, an enclosed channel or enclosed cavity comprising at least one functional nanofiber, the method comprising the steps of providing a first substrate and a second substrate; forming a channel or cavity on the first substrate or the second substrate; electrospinning at least one functional nanofiber on the first substrate; assembling the first and second substrates, wherein the first substrate is placed over the second substrate, or the second substrate is placed over the first substrate; and bonding the first substrate and the second substrate to form the substrate, thereby forming an enclosed channel or enclosed cavity comprising the at least one functional nanofiber in the substrate. An enclosed channel or cavity comprising at least one functional electrospun nanofiber is also provided. A microfluidic device is also provided comprising an enclosed channel or cavity comprising at least one functional electrospun nanofiber.
