This critical review is motivated by an increasing interest of the microfluidics community in
developing complete Lab-on-a-Chip solutions based on thin and flexible films (Lab-on-a …

Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is a burgeoning imaging technology that provides vital
information for the diagnosis of coronary arterial diseases. A significant constituent that …

Today, the vast majority of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) sensors are
mechanically rigid and therefore suffer from disadvantages when used in intimately …

Microfluidics is the science and technology of systems that process or manipulate small
amounts (micro-to picoliters) of fluids, using channels with dimensions of tens to hundreds of …

This paper presents the world's first transparent flexible capacitive micromachined ultrasonic
transducer (CMUT) that was fabricated through a roll-lamination technique. This polymer …

The use of magnetic microbeads in microfluidic systems is a promising approach for setting
up lab on chips that accomplish a variety of bioanalytical operations. To meet the integration …

A novel fabrication process called BETTS (bonding, UV exposing and transferring technique
in SU-8) is presented in this paper. SU-8 layers can be transferred and patterned over SU-8 …

A flexible microfluidic system embedding microelectromagnets has been designed, modeled
and fabricated by using a photosensitive resin as structural material. The fabrication process …

In this article, we propose a novel dielectrophoretic continuous flow sorter using planar
