The goal of my rotation was to create a small, self-contained electroosmosis device that operates on a microliter scale using TEM membranes. Development of this device went through several phases, picking up where Mark Lifson left off. One important aspect of my design is that it is put together in stages. This allows for observation…
I am having some problems with my electroosmosis device and I was hoping that people with more knowledge about the TEM chips might have some suggestions. For these trials, I used membranes from a wafer labeled 412-S. I am still using the PDMS device from my last post although now I have mini “clamps” that…
Continuing the project that Mark had been working on, I have made some progress towards electroosmosis. Specifically, I was able to observe electrolysis through an intact membrane. Hopefully I will be able to observe electroosmosis through the movement of microspheres or nanoparticles through the capillary tubes. I tried a few variations of Mark’s design using…
