Hydrogels are hydrophilic, highly water swellable polymer networks capable of converting
chemical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. They can be tailored regarding …

CO2-responsive materials undergo a change in chemical or physical properties in response
to the introduction or removal of CO2. The use of CO2 as a stimulus is advantageous as it is …

Molecular sensors respond to target molecules in their surroundings to detect and
sometimes even quantify their concentrations. Traditionally comprised of small organic …

Background The prevalence of exercise‐induced gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms has been
reported up to 70%. The pathophysiology largely remains unknown. Aim To review the …

Background Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms during exercise may be caused by GI
ischaemia. The authors report their experience with the diagnostic protocol and …

This report details the first experimental results from novel hydrogel sensor array (2× 2)
which incorporates analyte diffusion pores into a piezoresistive diaphragm for the detection …

Hydrogels are cross-linked polymer networks which are water-insoluble. They are suitable
for several technical and biomedical applications due to the ability of some gels to swell and …

A microsystem is a collection of electromechanical and electronic elements that have been
reduced in size using advanced lithographic and machining techniques. Many types of …

This dissertation is concerned with the development of glucose-sensitive hydrogels and pH-
sensitive hydrogels for biomedical sensor applications. The research is motivated by the …

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels can be used to convert miniature pressure sensors into novel
chemomechanical sensors via confinement of the hydrogel sample between a porous …
