Abstract
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).
Claims19
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).
Apparatus comprising:
- one or more microdevices formed on a substrate, each of the one or more microdevices comprising a body processed from a cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) film formed on the substrate.
Apparatus for use in manufacturing microdevices, the apparatus comprising:
- a continuous solid film formed on a substrate, wherein the continuous solid film has a controlled microstructure of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) comprising one or more isotropic domains.
