1. Microsphere-based modeling of electro-active polymers
Abstract : Elektroaktiva polymerers (EAPs) främsta egenskap är deras förmåga att kunna omvandla elektrisk energi till mekanisk energi (och vice versa). Den typ av EAPs som behandlas inom ramen för detta arbete kallas för dielektriska elastomerer och är en undergrupp av elektroniska elektroaktiva polymerer. READ MORE

3. Conjugated Polymer-based Conductive Fibers for Smart Textile Applications
Abstract : Electrically conductive or electro-active fibers are the key components of smart and interactive textiles, which could be used in medical, sports, energy, and military applications in the near future. The functionalization of high-performance textile yarns/fibers with conjugated polymers can produce conductive fibers with better electro-mechanical properties, which is difficult with commonly used spinning techniques.

4. Microbial Fuel cells, applications and biofilm characterization
Abstract : Since the 1900’s it has been known that microorganisms are capable of generating electrical power through extracellular electron transfer by converting the energy found organic compounds (Potter, 1911). Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) has garnered more attention recently, and have shown promise in several applications, including wastewater treatment (Yakar et al. READ MORE

5. Characterization of a Voltammetric Electronic Tongue
Abstract : Electronic tongues were developed some ten years ago. These systems consist of an array of nonspecific sensors and a signal processing unit. The sensor signals are processed by pattern recognition methods which makes possible the extraction of specific properties from the sample. READ MORE
