1. Novel Microfluidic Devices Based on a Thermally Responsive PDMS Composite
Sammanfattning : The field of micro total analysis systems (μTAS) aims at developments toward miniaturized and fully integrated lab-on-a-chip systems for applications, such as drug screening, drug delivery, cellular assays, protein analysis, genomic analysis and handheld point-of-care diagnostics. Such systems offer to dramatically reduce liquid sample and reagent quantities, increase sensitivity as well as speed of analysis and facilitate portable systems via the integration of components such as pumps, valves, mixers, separation units, reactors and detectors.

2. Carbon Nanotubes for Electronic Packaging: Growth, Novel Devices and 3D Networks
Sammanfattning : Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have shown great potential of application in electronics because of their attractive physical properties, such as high surface-to-volume ratio, high electron mobility, high Young’s modulus, high thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, etc. However, many obstacles are yet to be removed to use CNTs as building blocks in electronic systems.

3. Device Bonding and Antibody Binding: Developments for On-Chip Differentiation of Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells into Hepatocytes
Sammanfattning : Abstract This thesis describes the bonding optimization of a liver-on-a-chip microfluidic device for evaluation of cultured induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived definitive endoderm (DE) cells during their targeted differentiation into mature hepatocytes. Furthermore, it describes the optimization of a number of antibody assays for use during said differentiation, for the purpose of studying the cellular phenotype. LÄS MER
4. Barnacle Bioadhesive Bonding Formation, Strength and Control
Sammanfattning : The current technology for keeping ship hulls free of marine biofouling requires the use of toxic compounds such as copper, organic biocides and tributyl tin (TBT). The compounds that are released have been shown to have negative effects on non-target organisms, and a worldwide ban of TBT is currently being introduced. LÄS MER
5. Microfluidic Devices for Manipulation and Detection of Beads and Biomolecules
Sammanfattning : This thesis summarises work towards a Lab-on-Chip (LOC). The request for faster and more efficient chemical and biological analysis is the motivation behind the development of the LOC-concept. Microfluidic devices tend to become increasingly complex in order to include, e.g. LÄS MER
