6. Carbon Nanotubes for Electronic Packaging: Growth, Novel Devices and 3D Networks
Abstract : 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.

7. The Multifunctional Pipette. A Microfluidic Technology for the Biosciences
Abstract : The theme of the work described in this thesis is the generation and application of liquid microenvironments in chemistry and bioscience using microfluidic devices. First, a computer controlled multi-stage dilution system to generate time-dependent chemical waves was developed, and its application was demonstrated on model biomembranes. READ MORE

8. Crosslinking of Polymers. Molecular Structure and Properties of Sol and Network
Abstract : Crosslinking is a well-known procedure for improving a variety of features of polymers, particularly the dimension stability at elevated temperatures. Crosslinking implies the formation of a network, the gel, but there is always a certain portion of the material, the sol, that remains non-crosslinked within the network. READ MORE

9. Evaluation of Biological Biomaterial Properties using Microfluidic Systems
Abstract : Despite increased orthopedic biomaterial research activity over previous decades, relatively few novel biomaterials have made it to clinical use. This may partially be due to the inability of existing in vitro testing routines to sufficiently replicate the physiological environment, leading to potentially inaccurate assessments of a biomaterial’s therapeutic potential.

10. Development and Applications of Microfluidic Devices for Liver-on-a-Chip Studies
Abstract : Modeling the human physiology in vitro is a challenging task, yet one of importance for the development of drugs and the study of diseases. To better address the complexities of human organs, microfluidic systems called organs-on-chips are being developed to emulate organ-specific environments for cell culture. READ MORE
