在过去的二十年中，柔性电子器件领域已取得令人兴奋的进步，有望在未来人类生活中引发一场革命。然而，由于在复杂应力环境中活性材料较差的可持续性，构建柔性器件已有了新的需求。因此，通过自然选择发展出各种环境适应性结构和材料的天然材料分级体系结构可启发研究人员解决材料和工程技术的局限性。本周为大家介绍的是来自南洋理工大学的陈晓东教授，他主要从事可程序化材料在能源的转化、柔性电子器件、以及纳米生物界面等方面的工作。他的工作多次被BBC，人民日报，New Scientists，Nanowerk，Materialviews等亮点报道。

David Gracias
石墨烯在二维层面上的一些物理属性已经吸引了人们的目光。但在过去的几年里，人们发现，给石墨烯增加一些褶皱能有效的延伸它的三维属性，并且这种属性为找寻可穿戴式电子产品和生物传感器的原材料带来了新的可能。然而，添加这些褶皱是有代价的，所有的操作必须在高精度和可调度的苛刻条件下完成。而本周我们要介绍的人物，来自约翰霍普金斯大学David Gracias教授，找到了一种全新的方法使石墨烯变得更加具有活性，并同时保留了石墨烯固有的特性以及超薄和灵活的本质，证明了可以折叠厚度低至5纳米的超薄石墨烯，这个折叠的过程不仅可以用于高吞吐量的光刻技术，也可以用于晶原领域。

附David Gracias英文简历
David Gracias, professor and director of graduate studies in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, is known for the design, development, and characterization of miniaturized devices, intelligent materials, and systems. Many of these devices and systems are far smaller than what can be visualized with the naked eye or even optical microscopes, which makes them especially challenging to assemble and characterize.
Gracias earned an MS in chemistry from the Indian Institute of Technology (1994) and a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of California at Berkeley and the Materials Science Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (1999). He was a post-doctoral fellow in the departments of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard University (1999-2001).
Gracias’s multi-disciplinary approach leverages conventional microelectronic chip fabrication approaches as well as novel self-assembly processes. His research group uses elements from both the biotic (bacteria, cells) and abiotic (optical, electronic) worlds to create bionic structures. Among their tools are state-of-the-art fluorescence, FT-IR, Raman, and sum frequency generation optical spectroscopy techniques; electron microscopy; RF measurements such as GHz spectrum analysis; electrochemical methods such as potentiometry and chronoamperometry; and four point electrical testing with femto-amp resolution. Group members also use statistical and analytical methods to model data as well as finite element methods (HFSS, Surface Evolver).
Gracias credits his training in basic sciences, including physical chemistry and chemical biology, as well as in state-of-the-art engineering R&D in the microelectronics industry, with allowing him to break down traditional boundaries by making critical connections between seemingly disparate fields and between basic science and applied research. At Johns Hopkins, he has made revolutionary contributions to biomedical engineering by collaborating extensively with clinicians to apply the capabilities of micro and nanotechnology to modern medicine. In addition to publishing his academic work in top journals such as Science, Gracias is a prolific inventor with 30 issued patents.
He and his team have developed entirely new approaches to assemble and manufacture extremely small 3D and hybrid devices in a highly parallel and cost-effective manner. He has pioneered the field of self-folding by uncovering assembly principles based on strain engineering. His notable accomplishments include the self-assembly of patterned polyhedral capsules, particles, and devices with sizes down to 100 nanometers, which opens up applications in electronics, sensors, and drug delivery. His laboratory invented dust-sized biopsy forceps that can be deployed and operated en masse, offering the possibility for statistical sampling of organs and the early diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, and representing a major leap toward realizing the “swallow the surgeon” vision. Along with colleagues, he has invented programmable materials and soft robots that respond to biochemical cues offering the possibility for autonomous untethered operation.
Gracias has received the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award; NSF CAREER Award; Beckman Young Investigator Award; Camille Dreyfus Teacher Scholar Award; DuPont Young Professor Award; Maryland Outstanding Young Engineer Award; a Humboldt Fellowship for Experienced Researchers; and Bessel Award. He is an AIMBE Fellow.
