  1. 21. Evaluation of Zinc Oxide Nano-Microtetrapods for Biomolecule Sensing Applications

    University essay from KTH/Funktionella material, FNM

    Author : Wei Zhao; [2015]
    Keywords : zinc oxide tetrapods; nano-microstructure; glucose oxidase; glucose sensor;

    Abstract : Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a well-known II-VI semiconductor material that has gained renewed interest in the past decade due to the developments of growth technologies and the availability of high-quality ZnO bulk single crystals. Owing to a wide direct band gap (3. READ MORE

  3. 22. Effects on immune cell viability, morphology and proliferation in a sub-microliter cell sampler system

    University essay from Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Sofia Wiklund; [2013]
    Keywords : Cell-picker; sub-microliter cell sampler system; immune cells; T cells; NK cells; B cells; cell viability; morphology; proliferation; surface coating; microchip; wells; silicon chip; single-cell analysis; flow system; fluorescence microscopy; cell staining; characterization;

    Abstract : Today,   most traditional method used in the research of immune cells, such as flow   cytometry and microscopy, are based on average values of cell responses.   However, immune cells are heterogeneous and respond differently to a given   stimuli. READ MORE

  4. 23. In Vitro Platform for Basic Testing of Micro- and Nanoelectrodes Intended for Chronic Implantation

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Daniel Henriksson; [2013]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Microelectrodes today and nanoelectrodes tomorrow further studies in fields of science such as neurobiology and electrophysiology, and are already in use as neural prosthetics. When electronic devices are used in biomedicine, especially when needed for chronic implantation, their ongoing downscaling is largely motivated by two aspects: biocompatibility and specificity.

  5. 24. Chemical stability of grain boundariesin β-tricalcium phosphate ceramics : β-TCP as bone substitute material

    University essay from Institutionen för kemi - Ångström

    Author : Mirja Olsson; [2012]
    Keywords : grain boundaries; β-tricalcium phosphate; ceramics;

    Abstract : β – Tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP, Ca3(PO4)2) is a commonly used bone substitute material due to its biocompatibility and resorption. This study focused on the production of almost fully dense β-TCP ceramics with varying degrees of impurities (Ca/PO4 ratio, addition of 5% Mg). READ MORE

  6. 25. Micro-Structuring of New Materials Combined with Electronic Polymers for Interfaces with Cells

    University essay from Biomolekylär och Organisk Elektronik; Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Alexander Vastesson; [2012]
    Keywords : Off-Stoichiometry Thiol-Ene; Polydimethylsiloxane; Microsystems; Nanosystems; Conducting polymers; HEP G2 cells; Cell viability; Soft lithography; DNA;

    Abstract : 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
