Motreuil-Ragot, P.A. (author)An organ-on-chip (OoC) is a microelectromechanical (MEMS) device that aims to recapitulate in-vitro the physiology of the smallest functional unit of an organ in order to perform drug analysis or study disease models. OoCs are very complex systems that require actuation and sensing capabilities within controlled and delicate environment. The...doctoral thesis 2023

Motreuil-Ragot, P.A. (author), Hunt, A. (author), Sacco, L.N. (author), Sarro, Pasqualina M (author), Mastrangeli, Massimo (author)Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are a class of materials with a rising appeal in biological micro-electromechanical systems (bio-MEMS) due to their unique properties (low voltage output, bio-compatibility, affinity with ionic medium). While tailoring and improving actuation capabilities of IPMCs is a key motivator in almost all IPMC...journal article 2023
