| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, toward the realization of single-molecule regulated chemistry which is a new concept proposed by us, a method for the formation of attoliter droplets using a nanofluidic device was developed. The high-precision fabrication of local hydrophilic/hydrophobic nanopatterns in tiny nanofluidic channels, which are the core structures proposed by us for the formation of attoliter droplets, was achieved by using a nano-in-nano integration technology developed by us. The liquid-handling experimental results revealed that the fabricated nanofluidic device containing the high-precision hydrophilic/hydrophobic nanopatterns possessed the capability to form attoliter droplets based on the principle of Laplace pressure difference at the liquid/gas interface in the nanofluidic channel.
