Life Cycle Assessment of microfluidic devices for point-of-care testing: A comparative analysis of PDMS, paper and PLA

In microfluidics, typical laboratory processes can be condensed to a miniature device. This reduces analysis time and required volumes of samples and reagents, increases mobility and flexibility, and is cost effective. In this work, the environmental impacts of three microfluidic devices for glucose detection are assessed using a comparative...

Design of Flexible Dry CNT/PDMS Electrodes for In-ear EEG: The Effect of Microstructures on Electrode Performance

In-ear EEG is a discreet and convenient method for monitoring EEG by placing the electrodes in the ear canal. This enables everyday monitoring outside of clinical environments in contrast to generally used scalp EEG with wet electrodes. This thesis proposes and describes the design of novel flexible dry CNT/PDMS electrodes with short pins, long...
