1. Paraffin Actuators in Microfluidic Systems
Sammanfattning : There is a need for reliable valves and pumps in microfluidics. A good microactuator is the key for low cost and high performance of these components.Paraffin wax is a promising material to be used as actuator material as is can produce large forces and large strokes. LÄS MER
2. 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
3. Microactuators for Powerful Pumps
Sammanfattning : When paraffin wax melts it exhibits a large, relatively incompressible volume expansion. This can be used in microactuators for strong and large displacements, a rare combination among actuators. Furthermore, paraffin is inexpensive, inert and environmentally friendly, as well as easily processed and actuated. LÄS MER
4. Microstructures for Chemical Analysis : Design, Fabrication and Characterisation
Sammanfattning : The interest for miniaturisation in chemical and biological analysis has increased in recent years. In this work, the design, fabrication and characterisation of tools for microanalysis have been studied. The focus is set on polymer microchips for applications in chemical analysis. LÄS MER
