A Drying Method Using Naphthalene for Flexible Microgripper Fabrication
View through CrossRef
A new technique for the microfabrication of a flexible microgripper is presented. In order to avoid sticking between the microgripper fingers due to capillary force, a drying method using naphthalene as a drying solvent (the naphthalene drying method) is proposed and demonstrated. Using this method, a new type of flexible microgripper was successfully fabricated without any sticking between the fingers. The advantages of the naphthalene drying method include simplicity, compatibility with atmospheric pressure, and suitability to batch fabrication.
