Miniaturized and Automated Synthesis of Biomolecules - Overview and Perspectives.
Mattes, D. S.; Jung, N.; Weber, L. K.; Bräse, S.; Breitling, F.
2019. Advanced materials, 31 (26), Art.Nr. 1806656. doi:10.1002/adma.201806656

Topic: Solid-material-based chemical synthesis. The Science paper and the Angewandte Chemie paper are the first papers that describe solid material-based, miniaturized & parallelized chemical synthesis. Briefly, chemical building blocks are embedded into a solid polymer and formulated into particles. Either a laser printer or a computer chip is used to print these particles to designated areas on an acceptor. There, particles are melted to start many different coupling reactions at once. The Advanced Materials paper is a review that discusses solid materials-based synthesis and applications of the nano3D printer.

International Journal of Occupational and Environmental Health 2016 VOL. 22 NO. 3. doi:10.1080/10773525.2016.1226535

Topic: Occupational exposure to nanomaterials by inhalation related to manufacture sites. The present paper has studied some specific computational modelling related to particle dispersion in indoor environments. Real data regarding particle amount measurements and dimensions of facilities were collected. Thus, potential exposure and dose was calculated in relation to potential health and safety implications.

Topic: Microstructuring. This master thesis was helpful in explaining the reason behind the large scale mask peeling of the photo resist during etch-time. To overcome this problem, a metal mask was used which enhanced adhesion and ensured the quality of the mask is not ruined when exposed to high concentrations of HF.

Topic: Microstructuring glass via HF-etching. This paper describes the method of wet etching of glass in highly concentrated HF solution using a Cr/Au mask. With this, the issue of peeling off of the photo resist was avoided and helped in achieving higher aspect ratio of the micro-pillars.
