Abstract

The micro-/ nano mechanical manipulation has been recently progressively developed for micromechanical equipment, biochips, and microfluidic devices. Since the end of the 19th century, the atomic force microscopy, optical tweezers, and magnetic tweezers have been proposed to control single cell or atom. Some indirect control methods, such as optothermal mechanism, opto-electrowetting (OEW) and optical dielectrophoresis (ODEP) techniques, provide us with larger force, better efficiency, and less damage on the objects. In these years, many optical sensitive composite materials are integrated into control systems; the electrical or thermal field can be modulated by light pattern for manipulating particles or droplets. However, these conventional optical control techniques deliver actuating or sensing force only in the nN range. In this dissertation, the optopiezoelectric actuator or sensor can modulate mN force by varying the distribution of the illuminated light pattern. In Chapter 3, a PZT actuator is triggered with 175 DC voltage in microfluidic device to efficiently trap living C.

elegans. In Chapter 4, the optopiezoelectric cantilever beam actuator of spiropyran/

liquid crystal- PZT performs UV (365 nm, 0.7 mW/cm2) modulated amplitude with few tens (Hz) frequency shift. And the P(VDF-TrFE)/ TiOPc optopiezoelectric sensors are fabricated and developed with an optimal 10 % w.t. TiOPc concentration. In traditional point bending sensor, the signal error is closely related to its position. Thus in Chapter 5, a full field optopiezoelectric bending sensor, PZT- 40% w.t. TiOPc/ resin, performs less than 10% error with numerical analysis. Without effects on the host structure, it has fast and easy modulation capability by using spatially distributed light illumination patterns. Overall, this thesis discusses the piezoelectric effect in

microfluidics, developing and understanding the optopiezoelectric performance. We expect the simulation, experimental and analytical results can provide some evidences and references for future innovative optopiezoelectric or optopiezoelectric fluidics application.

Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Micro-/nano mechanical manipulation

In recent years, mechanical manipulation has been widely developed in the bioengineering and microsystem fields to control small objects [1]

.

The most powerful and common techniques include atomic force microscopy (AFM), magnetic tweezers and optical tweezers (Table 1-1) [2]

.

Single-molecule manipulation

Atomic force microscopy (AFM), which was commercialized in 1998[4], is the most commonly used scanning probe microscope (SPM)

.

This near field technique is based on the van der Waals force between a sharp metal tip and the atoms on the sample surface. It can measure surface roughness in atomic scale resolution. In the past decades, it provides many applications in molecular metrology and biological sciences [5, 6, 7, 8]. However AFM measurements are generally at the high-force scale, its minimal force (10 pN) is too large, and it cannot provide 3D or long distance control[9]

.

By comparison, the magnetic tweezers, which can control the magnetic beads by permanent or electrical magnets, can measure and apply very low forces at fN. Its typical application is for cell manipulation and DNA topology [10, 11]. In addition, magnetic tweezers can also apply torques by rotating the magnetic fields [12, 13]. However, the magnetic tweezers are not as popular as AFM or optical tweezers. Because the permanent magnet configuration lacks the manipulation ability, and the electromagnet coils have significant hysteresis as a function of current [2].

Combining part of the advantages of AFM and magnetic tweezers, laser optical tweezers were proposed for particle manipulation in the 70s. Due to momentum

(23)

conservation, a highly focused laser beam provides a pico-newton attractive or repulsive force on the dielectric beads. It also gives 3D manipulation within a millisecond response for particle’s nanometer transportation, ablation, and even electron spin behavior control [14, 15, 16, 17]. But its major drawback was the high power laser spot, it might cause photo damage on the specimens. Furthermore, the direct optical force can only generate very weak force (pico Newton range). To bypass some of the limitations mentioned above, some more effective optical mechanisms and other indirect optical control techniques such as optothermal mechanism and optoelectronic tweezers are widely adopted for particle and cell manipulation.

1.2 Optical manipulation for small objects

Starting in 1980s, to overcome the force limitation of optical tweezers, an optothermal mechanism was found to provide a much larger force to allow faster droplet manipulation (cm/ s) [18]

.

One typical phenomenon is thermocapillary, which is based on the Marangoni effect (Figure 1-1). The local illuminated area has higher temperature and smaller surface stress. It means the droplet can be pumped toward the dark and cold side due to its larger surface stress. In this decade, thermocapillary can be used for fast transportation, trapping, and sorting the droplets in microfluidic studies (Figure 1-2) [19, 20, 21]

.

mm [19]. (b) The bubbles aggregation experiment by Hiroki Kasumi et al. [21].

(25)

However, the high power pulse laser still generates undesirable heat on the specimens.

Another optothermal mechanism, optothermal cavitation bubbles, was proposed around 1990s. The high power pulse laser is also used as a heating source. This focused laser produces a rapidly expanding vapor bubble in the water through nonlinear optical absorption. And then the explosive evaporation occurs when a thin layer of liquid reaches the critical temperatures in a very short period of time (Figure 1-3a) [22]. Nowadays, this pressure impulse made from the thermal-bubble is widely applied in biological chips (Figure 1-3b, 1-3c) [23, 24, 25, 26]

.

cell concentrator by acoustically activating the optothermally bubbles [24].

Although the optothermal cavitation bubbles mechanism, can indirectly generate larger force on the specimens without photo damage, the researchers continue to pursue a lower-cost and lower-power light source to access the opto-mechanical control. Since 2000s, opto-electrowetting (OEW) and optical dielectrophoresis (ODEP) techniques have been proposed to move liquid droplets and microparticleswith high performance, reliability, simplicity, and fast response. Instead of the expensive and high power (hundred milliwatts to watt) laser, the OEW and ODEP are set up with the liquid crystal displays or projectors [27].

The opto-electrowetting (OEW), which was proposed by Chiou et al. in 2003 [28], now is an effective method for manipulating micro droplets. (Figure 1-4a) depicts a typical OEW device; the droplet is sandwiched between a top hydrophobic surface and a bottom OEW surface [29, 30, 31, 32]. The bottom OEW structure is made by an

(27)

electrodes array on a photoconductive material. In the light illuminating area, the electric conductivity of the photoconductive layer increases, causing more voltage across the droplet. Base on the relationship between the contact angle θ and the applied voltage across the droplet in equation 1-1 [33], the contact angle of the droplet decrease and it moves toward the dark side.

(1-1) In equation 1-1, θ0 is the original contact angle, γ is the surface tension between the droplet and surrounding medium, ε0 is vacuum permittivity, εr is the dielectric constant, t is the thickness of the dielectric layer, and V is the voltage. Recently, many modified OEW techniques are proposed for integrating with other microfluidic components. For example, Chuang et al. presented an open optoelectrowetting (o-OEW) device with a translational speed up to 3.6 mm/ s (Figure 1-4b) [34]. Park et al. proposed the single-sided continuous optoelectrowetting (SCOEW) to overcome the droplet size limitation in the sandwich OEW device (Figure 1-4c)[35].

working principle with its equivalent circuit model [35].

Optical dielectrophoresis (ODEP) is another optoelectronic manipulation method, which was first proposed by Chiou et al. in 2005 for the parallel manipulation of single particles in (Figure 1-5a) [28]. Recently this technique is widely used in microfluidic and biological chips for cell patterning [36], sorting [37, 38], transfection [39], and separation [40]. An ODEP device consists of top and bottom transparent electrodes, and the bottom electrode is a photoconductive layer (Figure 1-5b). The photoconductive layer is used as localized virtual electrodes with incident light, making an intensive electric field in the bright area. Based on the conventional time average DEP force exerted on a sphere in a fluidic medium (equation 1-2), the particles in the aqueous can be collected in the bright areas. In this equation, R is the particle radius, εm denotes the permittivity of the liquid medium, Erms is the root-mean square magnitude of the electric field. K(ω) is the

Clausius-Mossotti (CM) factor, which is related to the particle and liquid medium’s permittivity (εp and εm), conductivity (σp and σm), and the applied frequency across the liquid medium (ω).

Comparing the OEW and ODEP, due to their different working frequencies (10~20 kHz for OEW; 100~200 kHz for ODEP), the OEW is usually used for droplet manipulation,

(30)

but the ODEP can further control particles in microfluidic devices. In (Figure 1-6), below fmin, the impedance of the dielectric layer is larger than the dark impedance of the photoconductive layer (such as a-Si:H or TiOPc), so most of the voltage across the dielectric layer with or without light illumination. Between fmin and fc, under illumination, the cross voltage switch from the photoconductive layer to the dielectric layer, causing OEW to occur. Between fc and fmax, under illumination, the field now drops primarily across the liquid layer, resulting in OET. Above fmax, the impedance of the liquid becomes so low that it drops below Zl inhibiting effective voltage switching [41].

However, these conventional optoelectronic technologies are still only available for manipulation at nano-to sub-micro Newton scales. To obtain a better manipulation efficiency in a micro-environment, a much larger force should be discovered, developed and integrated with optical control.

1.3 Piezoelectric manipulations and control system

Over the last few decades, piezoelectric materials are widely applied in mechanical system as actuators or sensors. Piezoelectric actuators can generate small strain (usually

<0.1%) and high stress (MPa) in a fast response time, so they can provide large force but small displacement, which can do suitable pumping [42, 43, 44, 45, 46], sorting [47, 48], or mixing in microfluidic devices [49, 50]. Furthermore, based on the direct piezoelectric effect [51], some flexible and transparent piezoelectric polymers are popularly used as pressure sensors in biological researches (Figure 1-7) [52, 53, 54, 55]. These polymer films have inertness to chemical agents, high sensitivity and electrical response over a wide frequency range.

Beside these vibration and deformation, the distributed piezoelectric elements or the so-called “smart-structures” provide the controlling ability in dynamic systems [56, 57].

Over the past 25 years, many researchers demonstrated the active control and adaptive structures with piezoelectric materials. Some early efforts focused on the integration of distributed sensors and actuators to target specific structural modes for application in sensing, actuation, or both. In 1989, Tzou et al. first derived the theories of distributed sensing and active vibration controlling for flexible shell structures [58]. In 1995, Qiu et al. controlled the bending moment of a circular cylindrical shell by the distributed inner and

outer PVDF actuators with same values but opposite phases (Figure 1-8a) [59]. Some others studies discussed the interaction between the piezoelectric material and the structure

(33)

so that they could use the piezoelectric actuators to reduce the sound pressure or vibration.

In 1991, Dimitriadis et al. demonstrated that bonding the piezoelectric elements on a plate could reduce the harmonic sound transmitted or radiated from the plate (Figure 1-8b) [60].

In 2008, Kozie’n et al. analyzed the possibility to active noise and vibration cancellation for the realistic machine structure with the distributed piezoelectric elements [61]. Recently, dell’Isola et al. proposed a damage detector which electric signals come from the state variables of the main structure and a distributed set of piezoelectric patches [62]. Wang et al. integrated piezoelectric actuating and sensing elements to be a cantilever-based

oscillating type MEMS dc current sensor [63].

Particularly in 1989, Lee and Moon introduced the patterned electrode on a continuous piezoelectric film to measure somespecific vibration modals [64, 65, 66]; these sensors with the spatialdistribution electrodes are denoted as modal sensors (Figure 1-8c) [67]. In 2001, Hsu and Lee further designed the miniature Autonomous Phase-gain ROtation/ linear Piezoelectric Optimal Sensing (APROPOS) for a fundamental a free-fall motion [68].

They also proposed a no-phase delay low-pass filter to tailor the sensor transfer function with a symmetric weighting electrode (Figure 1-8d) [69].

1.4 Optopiezoelectric control system

Based on the promising efficiency of piezoelectric actuators and sensors, it might be possible to develop an optical piezoelectric coupled mechanism for larger force control with novel opto-piezoelectric materials [49, 70]. Taking the convertible advantage of photoconductive materials, some photoconductive molecules are integrated with piezoelectric devices as optical virtual electrodes. In 2011, Chen et al. proposed an optically induced piezoelectric vibration control mechanism, which was achieved with a coupling of spiropyran-doped liquid crystal on PZT plates [71, 72] (Figure 1-9a). They made a mixture of liquid crystals (LC) and spiropyran (SP), then coated it onto a PZT plates as a virtual electrode. With UV light illumination, the spiropyran transfers to a polar molecule, and the impedance decreases more than one order of magnitude.

Moreover the rod-like liquid crystals can host these doped spiropyran in a good alignment.

Thus this photosensitive mixture, LC/SP, can be UV patterned for demonstrating a reversible optical controlled modal sensor.

In 2013, Huang designed a deformable mirror using a spatially modulated TiOPc/ PZT actuator [73]. A white light triggered photoconductive material, TiOPc, was coated on the

(36)

PZT buzzer as virtual electrode. By projecting different light patterns, the spatially distributed actuating forces made this TiOPc/PZT actuator deforms in respective shapes (Figure 1-9b). One year later, Chang et al. proposed an optical spatially modulated TiOPc/ piezo buzzer actuator driven by optical patterns (Figure 1-9c) [74]. By varying light illumination pattern, the spatial force enhancement was found to change the acoustic beam pattern and directivity.

1.5 Motivation and purpose

These previous studies demonstrated the performance of piezoelectric sensors and actuators. They also showed the possibility of light controlled piezoelectric devices. In this study, we further discuss the capability of optical piezoelectric manipulation for distributed sensors and piezoelectric actuators. In Chapter 3, a NMR compatible C.

elegant trapper will be proposed for demonstrating the performance of PZT in microfluidic

device. In Chapter 4, a novel photoconductive piezoelectric composite (P(VDF-TrFE)/

TiOPc) will be developed and analyzed. This lead-free composite is better than PZT to be a biocompatible microfluidic chip substrate. Furthermore in Chapter 5, we will compare the mechanical sensing ability between this composite (P(VDF-TrFE)/ TiOPc) and a double layers structure (TiOPc-PZT) through a bending sensor.

Overall, we try to set out a path to achieve the optical piezoelectric manipulation and sensing (Figure 1-10). In this thesis, we demonstrate the ability of piezoelectric devices in microfluidic devices, and then developing the optopiezoelectric material for further optopiezoelectric microfluidic application.

Chapter 2. Material

In this chapter, piezoelectric material and photoconductive material used in this study are discussed. In Chapter 3, we will integrate piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) into microfluidic device. In Chapter 4, optopiezoelectric actuator made of a spiropyran/ liquid crystal (SP/ LC) material layer on a PZT laminate will be examined. The optopiezoelectric sensor composed of piezoelectric polymer (P(VDF-TrFE) and photoconductive particles, titanyl phthalocyanine(TiOPc), are to be explored as well. In this chapter, the physical and chemical properties and applications of these materials are detailed.

2.1 Piezoelectric material

The piezoelectric effect was discovered by Pierre and Jacques Curie in 1880. But practical applications started after 1940s when sonars development started. Piezoelectric materials can be used as an actuator to transfer electrical signal into mechanical deformation (direct effect), or it can be used as a sensor to transform vibrations into electrical energy (converse effect) (Figure 2-1). The basic but detailed piezoelectric theory will be discussed in Chapter 3.

2.1.1 Lead Zirconium Titanate (PZT)

The most commercialized and widely applied piezoelectric material is lead zirconate titanate (PZT) (Pb[Zr(x)Ti(1-x)]O3). PZT has excellent piezoelectric properties, high Curies temperature (>150C), high spontaneous polarization (remnant charge > 50 μC/cm2)

(40)

and high electromechanical coupling coefficient (d31 , d33 equal to few hundreds pC/N). It has become the basis of many important industrial products. Over the years, PZT has been applied in underwater sensors [75, 76], biosensors [77, 78], and energy harvesters [79, 80], etc.

Figure 2-1. The working function of positive and converse piezoelectric effect.

2.1.2 Piezoelectric polymer

Piezoelectric polymers have been discovered for more than 40 years, but in recent years they have progressively developed due to its flexible, lightweight and transparent advantages. The properties of polymers are very different from PZT in (Table 2-1). The piezoelectric polymers have much higher piezoelectric stress constant (g31), which indicates that they are much better sensors than ceramics [81]. Polymers also typically possess high dielectric breakdown and high operating field strength, which means they can withstand much higher driving fields than ceramics. Furthermore, with spin coating or electro spinning process, different mechanical properties and applications of the piezoelectric

(41)

polymer can be fabricated by using the sol-gel processes [82, 83]. Thus piezoelectric polymers surely establish its technical applications and useful device configurations.

Table 2-1. The piezoelectric properties comparison of PZT and PVDF film [81].

Nowadays, Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) is one of the most applied piezoelectric polymers. It was found in 1969 to have a very large piezoelectric coefficient 6- 7 pC/N [84, 85]. Its chemical structure of (-CH2-CF2-) repeat units provides large chain flexibility. The highly repulsive forces of the fluorine atoms making the polymer polarized naturally (Figure 2-2). The most common and thermodynamically stable phase is the α-phase, which has a trans-gauche (TGTG') conformation and does not show a net lattice polarization, i.e., this phase presents no piezoelectric effect. After stretching and poling processes, the α-phase transfers to β-phase in an all-trans (TTTT) zig-zag conformation (Figure 2-3). The C-F dipoles all align in the same direction providing the β-phase PVDF a spontaneous lattice polarization, which is necessary to ferroelectric effect [86].

In the last decade, copolymers of PVDF with trifluoroethylene (TrFE) (-CHF-CF2-) containing different mole fractions of both components have been studied extensively. It is because they exhibit certain advantages over pure PVDF. P(VDF-TrFE) is synthesized by copolymerization VDF and TrFE monomers (Figure 2-4). Due to the higher repulsive forces of one more fluorine atoms, the ferroelectric phase is inherent in the copolymer at

(43)

room temperature. Unlike typical PVDF must be stretched, P(VDF-TrFE) can achieve β-phase conformation by only poling with a high electric field (in the order 50 MV/m) [88~

92]. More piezoelectric properties of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) are compared in (Table 2-2).

2.2 Photoconductive material

For developing an optopiezoelectric material, the photoconductive material takes an important role for light-spatial modulation. These materials should be more conductive, i.e. their electrical impedance decreases after light illumination.

2.2.1 Spiropyran

Spiropyran has been a popular photochromic material in photosensitive devices due to its advantageous physical and chemical properties [93, 94, 95]. This molecular can be transformed from a spiropyran (SP) state into a merocyanine (MC) state under UV irradiation, and it is reversible by visible light irradiation or heating (Figure 2-5a). More specifically, the carbon-oxide bond of the spiropyran is opened during transformation, which provides good ionic conductivity. Furthermore, the color also changes from light purple to a darker one under irradiation. Thus, the spiropyran molecules have widely applications include optical memories, sensors and transistors in (Figure 2-5b~ 2-5d) [96~

100].

2.2.2 Titanyl Phthalocyanine (TiOPc)

In this study, we also considered titanyl phthalocyanine (TiOPc), which is an organic photovoltaic material. TiOPc is a non-planar phthalocyanines (Pcs) with the Ti=O located slightly above (ca. 0.3Å ) the ring, orthogonal to the molecular plane (Figure 2-6a). Upon photo excitation, an electron can either move from HOMO to LUMO within a molecule (Figure 2-6b) [101]. These surprisingly close π- π molecular contacts indicate a TiOPc has a broadening of the absorbance spectrum toward the near IR region. (Figure 2-6c, 2-6d) [102]. And its high hole mobility (over 1.0 cm2 V-1 s-1) and on/off ratio make it the most efficient organic photoconductors used in more than 90% of the laser printers (Figure 2-6e)

[103]. Recently, because of its characteristics of strong illumination absorption from the visible to the IR region [104~ 106], it is also been taken in optoelectronic chip for the dynamic manipulation [107~ 109]and solar cells [110~ 112] (Figure 2-7).

Chapter 3. A living worm trapper by PZT actuator

3.1 Introduction

Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) (Figure 3-1) is a 1-mm long transparent

roundworm. It has a two weeks lifespan and is one of the simplest organisms for understanding cell division directly under the microscope. In the early 1960s, Sydney Brenner declared the use of C. elegans as a model to trace how genes made bodies and their behavior. In 2002, Sydney Brenner, H. Robert Horvitz and John E. Sulston received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their discoveries concerning "genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death" (an extract from The

Nobel Assembly at Karolinska Institutet, 7, October, 2002). Now the C. elegan has become a widely used model organism in biology.

Figure 3-1. The worm image [113]

(49)

Studies of C. elegans often require immobilizing the worm during monitoring or giving stimulation. Traditional techniques were based on manual manipulation on a Petri dish or a multiwall plate, and permanent immobilization for further investigations with cyanoacrylate glue or anesthetics [114, 115]. The first method consumes substantially long time, and the irreversible glues may have some toxicity. The second method gives unavoidably internal biochemical of the worm during injecting the anesthetics [116].

Currently microfluidics and micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) devices provide powerful tools and great advance for worm immobilization.

Besides using these micro chambers and pillars [117, 118], the worm immobilization can be accomplished by temperature [119] or pressure control [120], mechanical [121, 122], electrical [123], and acoustic modulation [124] (Figure 3-2a~ 3-2d).

But all these methods must maintain the pressure, temperature, or electric field continuously in order to keep the worm immobilized. They need to maintain the operation field poses a drawback for instrument such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) that does not have enough spaces in the detection area for the electric wires or fluidic tubes. In this chapter, we develop an on demand piezoelectric worm trapper, which can efficiently trap the C. elegans, and keep it immobilized by hydrostatic equilibrium without using any wires, tubes, and connectors.

3.2 Theory

In this worm trapper, the worms are immobilized between oil bulges, which are pushed from the piezoelectric generated pressure (Figure 3-3). The related theories include the piezoelectric plate actuator and Laplace pressure.

3.2.1 A linear piezoelectric thin plate actuator

The piezoelectric constitutive equations are used to calculate the transfer efficiency between electrical and mechanical signals [125]. In these equations, the piezoelectric

(52)

materials are assumed to be a linear material, which is only true when the applying electric field is small. There are four types of the equations as listed below:

Figure 3-4. The relationship between stress, strain, electric field, and electric displacement.

In this study, we used a commercial buzzer (Figure 3-5a), which is composed of a PZT plate (ϕ= 17.5mm; h=200µm) glued onto a brass plate (ϕ= 12.5mm; h=100µm) as an actuator. With applied voltage, the PZT material stretches, and the stress transfers to the connected brass layer. The deformation can be clearly analyzed by a simplified modal (Figure 3-5b) [126, 127]. The displacement at the interface can be represented as (equation 3-5):

are the stretch and bending displacement of the interface. From (equation 3-5), the strain can be expressed in terms of (equation 3-6):

If the thickness of the plate is too thin to negligible, and the stress along z-direction T3 is zero, then (equation 3-7) can also be written as (equation 3-8) with elastic stiffnessconstant (cij) and piezoelectric stress/ charge constant (eij). Thus the piezoelectric constitutive (equation 3-3, 3-4) can be written as (equation 3-9).
