Cyclic olefin copolymers (COC) are amorphous, transparent thermoplastics composed of
cyclic olefin monomers (norbornene) and linear olefins (ethene). They are increasingly …

The area of micro total analysis systems (μTAS), also called “lab on a chip” or miniaturized
analysis systems, is growing rapidly. This paper represents an update of the earlier reviews …

Microparticle separation and concentration based on size has become indispensable in
many biomedical and environmental applications. In this paper we describe a passive …

New energetic materials (EMs) are the key to great advances in microscale energy-
demanding systems as actuation part, igniter, propulsion unit, and power. Nanoscale EMs …

Computer-controlled microfluidics would advance many types of cellular assays and
microscale tissue engineering studies wherever spatiotemporal changes in fluidics need to …

The modern “energetic‐on‐a‐chip” trend envisages reducing size and cost while increasing

The paper describes a new architecture of a Safe Arm and Fire device (SAF) that could
constitute a real breakthrough for safe miniature fuzing device. On the one hand, it takes all …

Lab-on-PCB devices have been developed for many biomedical and biochemical
applications. However, much work has to be done towards commercial applications. Even …

A microheater and a thermal sensor were fabricated inside elastomeric
polydimethylsiloxane microchannels by injecting silver paint (or other conductive materials) …

A review of the micropyrotechnics related works is done. Micropyrotechnics is the integration
of an energetic material into microsystem, for which the thermal, mechanical and chemical …
