1. Robust and Biocompatible Bonding of Hybrid Microfluidic Devices Using Off-Stoichiometric Thiol-ene Thermosets
University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)Abstract : Some of the major obstacles the microfluidics industry has yet to overcome in order to facilitate large scale manufacturing of devices are costly back-end processes. Among these, bonding presents some of the most obvious difficulties and is often associated with structural deformation and surface modification. READ MORE

2. Fabrication and characterisation of a 3-layer aorta-on-a-chip
University essay from Uppsala universitet/MikrosystemteknikAbstract : Endothelial cells, EC, are the cell type closest to the blood stream in vessel walls. These cells can affect the origin of atherosclerosis, plaques clogging the vessels. The behaviour of EC is affected by neighbouring smooth muscle cells and shear stress from the blood flow. READ MORE

3. A process recipe for bonding a silicone membrane to a plastic substrate
University essay from Institutionen för teknikvetenskaperAbstract : A spin-cast silicone membrane has been successfully bonded between two injection-molded microstructured plastic discs. This sandwich structure creates a useful platform for mass production of microfluidic systems, provided that the bonds are leakproof. READ MORE

4. Micro-Structuring of New Materials Combined with Electronic Polymers for Interfaces with Cells
University essay from Biomolekylär och Organisk Elektronik; Tekniska högskolanAbstract : Materials based on novel Off-Stoichiometry Thiol-Ene polymers, abbreviated OSTE, show promising properties as materials forlow cost and scalable manufacturing of micro- and nanosystems such as lab-on-chip devices. The OSTE materials have tunablemechanical properties, offer possibility for low temperature bonding to many surfaces via tunable surface chemistry, and can beused in soft lithography. READ MORE

5. Worm-on-a-chip. Chemotaxis by nematodes in microfluidic systems
University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknikAbstract : A microfluidic chip was constructed and used for monitoring chemotaxis by nematodes. It was built up by an artificial dirt array made of glass, a perforated PDMS sheet and PMMA plate for fluidic connections. The device was held together by the pressure of clamps without any chemical bonding. READ MORE
