In this review article, we discuss state-of-the-art methods for immobilizing functional
receptors in microfluidic devices. Strategies used to immobilize receptors in such devices …

Click chemistry has attracted tremendous attention for the fabrication of novel microscale
systems based on its high reaction efficiency, satisfactory versatility and simple processing …

THV, a relatively new hydrophobic polymer, has found wide application from explosives to
sensors. Therefore, we decided to determine its Hansen Solubility Parameters (HSP)–one of …

Light guiding is used to direct light from an emitting source to a different location. It is
frequently realized through a clad–core structure with a difference in the refractive index of …

For the first time poly (tetrafluorethylene-co-hexafluorpropylene-co-vinylidenfluoride)(THV)
was successfully implemented to form stable planar porous membranes. This new and …

Abstract Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet (APPJ) array is a promising way for producing
plasma to process large-scale uneven surface. In this paper, the uniformity of a one …

Novel functional silica nanoparticles (SiO 2-NBS-F) with irreversible light-responsive
wettability were prepared by grafting of a light-responsive silane coupling agent (NBS) and …

Tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) terpolymers have emerged as advantageous substitutes for
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Therefore, they are being considered as alternatives to …

The impact of the Corona, dielectric barrier discharge, and low pressure radiofrequency air
plasmas on the chemical composition and wettability of medical grade polyvinylchloride was …

This work presents a new strategy of plasma treatment and post-functionalization of
polycarbonate substrates in order to enhance their hydrophobic properties. While the …
