| Outline of Research at the Start |
The purpose of this project is to develop microfluidic devices using transparent polymer film. The chemical for making the film will be synthesized and the optimal condition for printing flim will be examined. Finally, the film will be used for microfluidic devices and applied for real application.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
The purpose of this project is to develop microfluidic devices using transparent polymer film to overcome the limitation of paper. The chemical for making the film will be synthesized and the optimal condition for printing the film will be examined. Finally, the film will be used for microfluidic devices and applied for real applications. The initial exploration was done by using a commercial 3D printing ink for making the thin film on a transparent sheet and it shows that the film can be produced easily without any surface modification.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
In the current stage, the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) were used as for improving the function of the thin film and the printing process with an inkjet printer for this MIP composition on transparent film is under investigation. First, the MIP composition ink was intended to be modified with commercial 3D printing ink. However, its unsuitable physical properties hindered printing 3D ink formulas with an inkjet printer. Another challenge in printing polymers with an inkjet printer is its solvent compatibility. Many polymer compositions require organic solvents, but these solvents can damage the inkjet component. Consequently, ongoing efforts are dedicated to formulating an ink compatible with inkjet printers for MIP film production.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
The ongoing research aims to formulate an ink compatible with inkjet printers for MIP film production. If the MIP film cannot be successfully printed with our recent inkjet printer model, other inkjet printer models or other chemical printing/deposition machines that available in our laboratory will be used for making MIP film.
