1. Droplet microfluidics for high throughput biological analysis
Sammanfattning : Many areas of biological research increasingly perform large-scale analyses. In genomics the entire gene repertoire of an organism is analyzed. Proteomics attempts to understand the function and expression patterns of all proteins in a cell or organism. LÄS MER
2. Strength in Numbers – Droplet Microfluidics for Multicellular Ensemble Applications
Sammanfattning : The work presented in this doctoral thesis explores multicellular, biological, and biotechnological applications for microfluidic droplets, making use of a number of unique features of these miniaturized, highly scalable reaction vessels.Droplet microfluidics specializes in pico- to nanoliter sized aqueous droplets in an immiscible oil phase, borrowing techniques from the field of microfluidics, namely fluid actuation, detection systems and electronic peripherals.

3. Capillarity and wetting of non-Newtonian droplets
Sammanfattning : Capillarity and dynamic wetting of non-Newtonian fluids are important in many natural and industrial processes, examples cover from a daily phenomenon as splashing of a cup of yogurt to advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing. The applicable non-Newtonian fluids are usually viscoelastic compounds of polymers and solvents. LÄS MER
4. Microfluidic Cell and Particle Sorting using Deterministic Lateral Displacement
Sammanfattning : Microfluidics is a field which has the potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics. The ability to sort and analyse cells by the use of portable handheld devices has the potential to enable sensitive devices for point-of-care diagnostics. LÄS MER
5. Functionalization and characterization of aqueous silica sols and their application in Pickering emulsions
Sammanfattning : The main objective of this thesis is to create an understanding of how surface functionalized colloidal silica can be utilized in emulsions stabilized solely by particles, so called Pickering emulsions. To achieve this, water-based silica sols have been functionalized with hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. LÄS MER
