Fluorinated polymers constitute a unique class of materials that exhibit a combination of
suitable properties for a wide range of applications, which mainly arise from their …

Liquid manipulation is the foundation of most laboratory processes. For macroscale liquid
handling, both do-it-yourself and commercial robotic systems are available; however, for …

A robust impedance control algorithm for a semi-automated surgical device called
ventilation tube applicator (VTA) was developed based on the dynamic coordination of force …

This paper presents a novel poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) microfluidic immunosensor that
integrates a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) optical detection system for …

Passive micromixers have a wide applications due to no need of external energy and
moving parts. Stratification of chaotic advection is an important mechanism to enhance …

In this paper, two methods (magnetic stirring and mechanical ball milling) were used to
modify the surface of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) particles. Then, poly (vinylidene …

Abstract Poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF)-based film is a typical kind of piezoelectric films
with wide applications, which is mainly prepared by the casting process. It is difficult to …

The extrusion-casting process can realize large-area and continuous preparation of polymer-
based films. In this paper, five different types of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)-based …

Dielectric elastomers can be used in the field of actuators and sensors, however, different
kinds of polymer elastomers have different mechanical and electrical properties. PVDF …

Micromixers are one of the prominent devices in applications like Lab-On-A-Chip (LOC),
micro-total analysis system (µTAS), etc. The performance of micromixer is governed by …
