Abstract

This paper reports a facile process for fabricating microchannels on nanocellulose-paper (nanopaper), which is one of the most promising substrate materials for paper microfluidic devices, thanks to its ultrasmooth surface, optical transparency, and tunable chemical properties. Unlike the existing methods that use customized 3D printing or manual cutting and sticking, our approach leveraged the simple operations of hot embossing with the convenient plastic micro-molds, for the first time, patterning microchannel on nanopaper downing to 200 µm (4 times improvement compared to existing methods) in a rapid manner (<45 minutes).
