1. Miniature Phase-Transistion Actuators
Sammanfattning : Clearly, there is a need for simple, strong actuators capable of large strokes in miniaturized systems such as valves and optical shutters.The basis for this work is the microstructure technology with processing techniques adopted from the integrated circuit industry. LÄS MER
2. Microfluidics at High Pressures : Understanding, Sensing, and Control
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores understanding, sensing, and control in high-pressure microfluidics. The high-pressure regime allows fluids to be forced through narrow channels at substantial speed and creates conditions for fluids of high density and low viscosity—features desired in flow-based chemical analyses. LÄS MER
3. Extending Microsystems to Very High Temperatures and Chemically Harsh Environments
Sammanfattning : Aiming at applications in space exploration as well as for monitoring natural hazards, this thesis focuses on understanding and overcoming the challenges of extending the applicability of microsystems to temperatures above 600°C as well as chemically harsh environments. Alumina and zirconia high-temperature co-fired ceramics (HTCC) with platinum as the conductor material, have in this thesis, been used to manufacture a wide range of high-temperature tolerant miniaturized sensors and actuators, including pressure and flow sensors, valves, a combustor, and liquid monopropellant microthrusters.

4. Microsystems for Harsh Environments
Sammanfattning : When operating microsystems in harsh environments, many conventionally used techniques are limiting. Further, depending on if the demands arise from the environment or the conditions inside the system, different approaches have to be used. LÄS MER
5. High-Temperature Microfluidics for Space Propulsion
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, microfabrication methods and tools for analysis of heated cold-gas microthrusters are presented, with the aim of improving their reliability and performance. Cold-gas thrusters operate by accelerating pressurized gas through a nozzle. LÄS MER
