“Empowering electronic, sensor, and biomedical devices with microfabrication and metal plating Technologies.”

Dear INRF Users,

The UC Irvine Integrated Nanosystems Research Facility together with a Japanese industry consortium (more than 40 companies) led by the Material Surface Engineering Center at Kanto Gakuin University are jointly hosting an evening presentation and reception event “Empowering electronic, sensor, and biomedical devices with microfabrication and metal plating Technologies.”
Researchers will present and discuss the latest results from studies and research at the intersection of microfabrication technology, and metal plating and polymers sciences that can lead to improved performance in electronics, sensors, and biomedical devices.

The Presentation topics include:

• Overview of micro/nano technology and its use for electronics and biomedical devices.
• Surface modification effects on insulating resin by Ultra Violet treatment.
• Advanced metal plating on varieties of polymers and glass for electronic and biomedical applications.
• Cyclo Olefin Polymer (COP) for electronic and biomedical applications .

The event will take place this Thursday, February 14 at UC Irvine, Calit2 conf. room 3008 at 4p.m. Free parking and light refreshments will be provided.

Please RSVP to Brittany Gray at grayb@uci.edu. We hope to see you there.

STS is down due to communication error. Software reset was not able to fix the issue.
Jake will look into this tomorrow when he comes in.

Due to a leaking high temperature water line, the freight elevator pit in the EG west wing was flooded. Water in the pit is currently being pumped out by a tanker truck and due to the possible extent of damage to elevator equipment the repair process will take one to two months, during which time the elevator will be out of service. We will try and help out as much as possible with students that need third floor access or have heavy items to move.

A service order has been put in about the high temperature line and the heat in the building should hopefully be restored shorty. We will let you know on any updates.

Thanks,
INRF Staff

The INRF & BION Facility will be closed from 12/24/12 – 1/1/13 and for safety reasons only super users with Jake’s authorization may use the facility during this time.

Happy Holidays!
