This paper reports for the first time the use of a cross-linked poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)
ionogel encapsulating the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulphate as a …

A great breadth of questions remains in cellular biology. Some questions cannot be
answered using traditional analytical techniques and so demand the development of new …

Microfluidic microsystems are often designed to analyze samples of small volumes of fluids;
however, some applications require the analysis of larger volumes. The ideal miniaturized …

Thermoplastic polymers are the primary materials for fabricating commercial microfluidic
devices. Despite many excellent properties, the low thermal conductivity is a common …

This paper presents an on-chip thermal flow sensor, patterned in Ni on the outside of a
polymer microfluidic channel. The sensor is a low power (low T), no-hysteresis device, with …

In this study, we propose a magnetically driven micro-mirror, constructed using negative
photoresist SU-8 containing magnetic particles, as a magnetic actuator and torsion bar …

The second-order nonlinear refractive index n 2 (Kerr index) of cyclic olefin copolymer
(TOPAS) and cyclic olefin polymers (ZEONEX, ZEONOR) was determined at the wavelength …

We have designed and realized two types of proportional microcontrol valves in a silicon
nitride surface channel technology process. This enables on-die integration of flow …

Microfluidic applications demand accurate control and measurement of small fluid flows and
volumes, and the majority of approaches found in the literature involve materials and …

Pneumatic actuation type valves have been used successfully applied in many lab-on-chip
applications because of their low cost, simple fabrication techniques, and easy to operate …
