1. Electrochromic Polymer Devices: Active-Matrix Displays and Switchable Polarizers
Abstract : Major efforts have been spent during recent years in worldwide attempts to achieve an electronic paper technology; the common name for novel flexible displays utilizing substrates such as paper, plastics or thin metal sheets. Various kinds of technology are available that potentially will be used for an electronic paper, which differs from each other mainly with respect to the choice of active materials, substrates and manufacturing techniques.

2. Additive manufacturing methods and materials for electrokinetic systems
Abstract : Fabrication of miniaturized devices is usually time-consuming, costly, and the materials commonly used limit the structures that are possible to create. The techniques most often used to make microsystems involve multiple steps, where each step takes considerable time, and if only a few systems are to be made, the price per device becomes excessive.

3. Electrokinetic devices from polymeric materials
Abstract : There are multiple applications for polymers: our bodies are built of them, plastic bags and boxes used for storage are composed of them, as are the shells for electronics, TVs, computers, clothes etc. Many polymers are cheap, and easy to manufacture and process which make them suitable for disposable systems.

4. Electroosmotic pumps with electrochemically active electrodes
Abstract : Electrokinetic phenomena, motion caused by an applied electric field, can be used to separate molecules based on charge as in capillary electrophoresis, or pump liquids with electroosmosis. As microfluidic devices are becoming more advanced, involving multiple stages (sequential reactions) and requiring smaller amounts of reagent, the demand for precise fluid control and integrated electrodes increases.

5. Polarization characteristics in polyelectrolyte thin film capacitors : Targeting field-effect transistors and sensors
Abstract : Polymers are very attractive materials that can be tailored for specific needs and functionality. They can for instance be made electrically insulating or (semi)conducting, with specific mechanical properties. Polymers are often processable from a solution, which enables the use of low-cost manufacturing techniques to fabricate polymer devices. READ MORE
