In this paper, we demonstrate that a low‐cost flexible microreactor can be manufactured using a dry film photoresist in conjunction with photolithographic and hot roll lamination techniques. A microfluidic flow path and sample reservoir patterns were prefabricated in a dry film photoresist tape using traditional photolithographic methods. This tape was sandwiched between two plastic films ‐ wells were prepouched on the cover film — that were bonded upon passage through a hot roll laminator. A simple Plexiglas reactor holder was designed and constructed to use in evaluating the flexible microchip reactor. We demonstrate a chemical synthesis of polyaniline that was performed with this polymeric microreactor using a hydrodynamic flow control system. The fabrication of this microreactor suggests that there is great potential for designing and prototyping disposable microscale reaction systems using dry film photoresist for a range of chemical and biochemical syntheses.

A bright blue emission material, bis {(benzimidazol-2-yl) Pyridenato} magnesium (MgBIP) used for organic light emitting devices, has been synthesized. The decomposition temperature was observed at 517 °C and no melting transition (Tm) of MgBIP was observed up to 400 °C. For three-layer LED devices with the configuration of ITO/NPB/MgBIP/ Alq3/MgAg, the white light emission covering the whole visible region from 400 to 750 nm with the maximum brightness of 2770 cd/m2and current density of 304 mA/cm2was observed.
