2. 1. A Never-Ending Thirst: Artistic Reforms to Neoliberal-Teflon Imperviousness

   Author : André Alves; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Neoliberal-Teflon; inscription; picture-making; listening ethics; negative capability; insufficient picture; affectability; co-motion;

   Abstract : This text is the dissertation element of my artistic research project, A Never-Ending Thirst: Artistic Reforms to Neoliberal-Teflon Imperviousness, developed within the doctoral studies program at HDK-Valand—the Academy of Art and Design, University of Gothenburg (2016-2021). Along with documentation of twelve artistic projects that support my practice-based inquiry, this text is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor in the Fine, Applied, and Performing Arts.

4. 2. Static electrification of teflon by metals

   Author : Anders Wåhlin; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The electrification of a system consisting of a metal and polytetrafluoro-ethylene (Teflon) has been investigated under relative motion. First, the electrification charge received by the insulator was measured when velocity, radius of curvature of the metal electrode and normal force were varied. READ MORE

5. 3. Advances in Soft Matter Nanofabrication

   Author : Mehrnaz Shaali; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; photolithography; negative e-beam resist; monolayer; confocal microscopy; Teflon AF; KPFM; DNA origami; cells; lipid nanotube; AFM; double bilayer; Phospholipid; electron beam lithography;

   Abstract : The focus of this thesis is placed on the fabrication of engineered nanodevices for the manipulation of soft matter thin films. By combining top-down micro- and nanofabrication approaches with bottom-up self-assembly strategies, new research platforms were developed, tested and characterized. READ MORE

6. 4. 3D-Printing of Fluorinated Polymer-based Materials for Plasmonic Sensing

   Author : Ida Östergren; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 3D-printing; polymer nanocomposite; hydrogen sensing; plasmonic nanoparticles; Teflon AF; fused deposition modeling;

   Abstract : Hydrogen attracts growing interest as a versatile energy carrier, serving as a fuel for cars, a heat source, or a reagent for chemical synthesis. At the same time, the demand for accurate and selective hydrogen sensors is increasing because of both safety concerns and the need for process monitoring. READ MORE

7. 5. Micro-scale Platforms for Investigations of Biological Structures

   Author : Anna Kim; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microfabrication; non-ionic surfactants; single-cell viability; hydrodynamic flow confinement; cell-to-cell connections; SU-8; Teflon AF; cell protrusions; free-standing probes; millimeter-waves;

   Abstract : This thesis describes the development of innovative micro-scale platforms as a means to address the current challenges within the field of cell biology, and to provide an interface between miniaturized analytical technology and experimental systems for the life sciences. The work includes an analytical platform for rapid assessment of the viability of adherent single cells; a surface patterning strategy for investigations of cell-to-cell communication via protrusions; a versatile microfluidic probe in SU-8 hard-polymer, and a microfabricated millimeter-wave measurement system for the identification and characterization of niosome (non-ionic surfactant vesicle) constituents, which is operated in a label-free, non-invasive manner.
