Tio, Kimberly (author)Administration of drugs can help in the recovery of the brain for example after a stroke. There are many available delivery routes such as intravenous injection or local injection in the brain. Whereas, the former encounters problems with systemic side effects, the latter requires multiple invasive brain surgery. Local drug administration could...master thesis 2018

Soons, Sophie (author)To control fluid transport, microfluidic systems often make use of pressure driven flow and pneumatically actuated valves. However these require bulky external instrumentation. An integrated fluid control mechanism would make microfluidic systems more portable, closed and automated. The aim of this project was to create a pH-responsive membrane...master thesis 2018

van Dommelen, Ryan (author)The structuring of polymers on the micro and nanoscale is performed largely by lithographic techniques, which require complex steps and suffer from geometrical and scaling limits. Techniques such as Nanoimprint Lithography and Hot Embossing are attractive alternatives as they can produce high quality nanoscale structures with a high throughput....master thesis 2017

Chang, C.T. (author)Wearable technologies are receiving a growing attention from research and industry in many different scientific areas [1]. Many of the commercialized devices are mainly based on the detection of gravitational, electric or acoustic impulse and environmental sensors [2]. However, for various healthcare applications it is of vital importance to be...master thesis 2017
