  2. 1. Development of a polymer based neural probe - How to record intracortical neural activity while minimizing the tissue response

    Author : Fredrik Ejserholm; Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neural Probes; Electrode Modification; Polymer; Neurophysiology; OSTE ;

    Abstract : Intracortical neural probes have in the last couple of years been developed from stiff single probes to stiff multi-electrode neural probes to flexible multi-electrode neural probes. One reason for the change in design is that more than one recording/stimulation electrode, as in the case with a single wire, is needed for more advanced studies. READ MORE

  4. 2. Development of electrochemical sensor and biosensor platforms : detection of therapeutic drugs and heavy metal ions

    Author : Sereilakhena Phal; Solomon Tesfalidet; Britta Lindholm-Sethson; William Siljebo; Pankaj Vadgama; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sensors; electrode surface modification; electrochemical immitance spectroscopy; square wave anodic stripping voltammetry; singular value decomposition; therapeutic drugs; heavy metals;

    Abstract : Electrochemical sensors and biosensors combine the sensitivity of electroanalytical methods with the selectivity of a sensor or biosensor surface. The chemical or biochemical component (receptor) in the sensor recognizes an analyte and produces an electrical signal which is proportional to the analyte concentration. READ MORE

  5. 3. Towards Safer Lithium-Ion Batteries

    Author : Marie Herstedt; Kristina Edström; Martin Winter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Inorganic chemistry; lithium-ion batteries; photoelectron spectroscopy; surface film; thermal stability; electrolyte additive; graphite; lithium iron phosphate; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic chemistry; Oorganisk kemi; Inorganic Chemistry; oorganisk kemi;

    Abstract : Surface film formation at the electrode/electrolyte interface in lithium-ion batteries has a crucial impact on battery performance and safety. This thesis describes the characterisation and treatment of electrode interfaces in lithium-ion batteries. READ MORE

  6. 4. Synthesis and Modification of Conjugated Materials for Polymer Solar Cells

    Author : Zandra George; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer interlayer; polymer solar cells; stability; conjugated polymers; fullerene derivatives;

    Abstract : Polymer solar cells have emerged as a promising alternative to silicon based solar cells. One of the advantages of polymer solar cells is the possibility to use roll-to-roll techniques for large-scale device production. However, in order to fully utilize this technique, several issues need to be resolved. READ MORE

  7. 5. Development of Nanoimprint Lithography for Applications in Electronics, Photonics and Life-sciences

    Author : Patrick Carlberg; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
