Zhang, M. (author)Food and medicines are two of the most essential categories of goods for human beings, providing vital nourishment and healthcare. However, as these products are commercialized and distributed on a global scale, consumers face the threat of counterfeit and deteriorated products. In response, this dissertation presents four prototypes consisting...doctoral thesis 2024

Zhang, M. (author), Raghunath, Aparna (author), Zhao, A. (author), Eral, H.B. (author)On-dose authentication (ODA) enhances security by incorporating customized molecular or micro-tags into each pill, preventing counterfeit products in genuine packages. ODA's security relies on tag non-replication and non-reverse engineering. Combining ODA with graphical Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF) promises maximum security. PUF uses...journal article 2024

Zhang, M. (author)A remarkable accomplishment of human beings in recent centuries is the extension of their average lifespan, for example by improved living conditions. A downside of this achievement is that aging-related diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), have risen, and as a consequence are impacting the lives of an increasing fraction of individuals....doctoral thesis 2023

Zhang, M. (author), Bouland, G.A. (author), Holstege, H. (author), Reinders, M.J.T. (author)Background and Objectives - With age, somatic mutations accumulated in human brain cells can lead to various neurologic disorders and brain tumors. Because the incidence rate of Alzheimer disease (AD) increases exponentially with age, investigating the association between AD and the accumulation of somatic mutation can help understand the...journal article 2023

Zhang, M. (author), Arunachalam, Abinaya (author), Perrin, H.R.L. (author), Polat, S. (author), Groenewold, Jan (author), Mendes, E. (author), Eral, H.B. (author)Elevated humidity levels in medical, food, and pharmaceutical products may reduce the products' shelf life, trigger bacterial growth, and even lead to complete spoilage. In this study, we report a humidity indicator that mechanically bends and rolls itself irreversibly upon exposure to high humidity conditions. The indicator is made of two...journal article 2023

Jansen, K.M.B. (author), Zhang, M. F. (author), Ernst, L. J. (author), Vu, D. K. (author), Weiss, L. (author)In this paper we propose a new multistep characterisation method to be able to map out the dependency of moisture diffusion parameters of a polymeric material over a range of temperature and humidity conditions in a limited amount of time. We do that by (1) using a moisture sorption analyser which can continuously monitor weight changes with...journal article 2020
