A new and easy-to-use method that allows for mold-free and rapid prototyping of microfluidic
devices, comprising channels, access holes, and surface-modified patterns, is presented …

Although standard lithography has been the most common technique in micropatterning,
ironically it has not been adopted to produce multifunctional hydrogel microparticles, which …

We present a novel integration method for packaging silicon photonic sensors with polymer
microfluidics, designed to be suitable for wafer-level production methods. The method …

Thiol–enes are a group of alternating copolymers with highly ordered networks and are
used in a wide range of applications. Here,“click” chemistry photostructuring in off …

Engineering surfaces with functional polymers is a crucial issue in the field of
micro/nanofabrication and cell-material interface studies. For many applications of surface …

The recently introduced OSTE polymer technology has shown very useful features for
microfluidics for lab-on-a-chip applications. However, no data has yet been published on …

We here demonstrate, for the first time, the use of direct lithography in off-stoichiometry thiol-
ene-epoxy (OSTE+) to fabricate a microdevice. First, the photolithographic property of …

We demonstrate a method for the fast and simple packaging of silicon sensors into a
microfluidic package consisting of the recently introduced OSTE polymer. The microfluidic …

During the last two decades silicon and MEMs technology had been the mainstay of early
microfluidic devices. However, recent times have brought into focus the need for low cost …

This thesis contributes to the development of Lab-on-a-Chip systems that enables reliable,
rapid medical diagnostics at the point-of-care. These contributions are focused on …
