We report the design, fabrication and test of piezoresistive cantilevers for intermolecular force detection in biochemical sensing. The small forces involved in molecular recognition experiments are best detected with cantilevers with small spring constant ...
The research of this doctoral thesis was dedicated to polyelectrolytes, specifically to hydrogel materials, which result from coacervation and polyelectrolyte complex formation and have a potential as immunoprotection systems. In particular, microspheres o ...
The dynamic mode atomic force microscopy based on a microfabricated cantilever and a commercial quartz tuning fork was probed. The probe was self-sensing and self-actuating. The tuning fork performed the function of a force sensor. The amplitude and freque ...
This work aims at completing the development of local mechanical spectroscopy as initiated by F. Oulevey during his thesis. More precisely, the measurement of the amplitude and phase lag of the strain as a function of the applied stress frequency bas to be ...
In this paper, the stability of a displacement sensor assembled with Sn96 (tin- silver) solder, Sn62 (tin-leadsilver) solder or conductive silver-loaded epoxy glue was compared. In the absence of humidity or thermal cycling, the glue was found to be much b ...
Since the bulk Al-Cu-Fe quasicrystals are extremely brittle below 700 K, a quasicrystalline coating deposited on a steel substrate by thermal spraying was used for mechanical spectroscopy measurements at temperatures in the range of 300-800 K. The internal ...
A novel probe based on a commercial quartz tuning fork and a microfabricated cantilever is presented. The U-shaped cantilever with a monolithic tip is combined with the tuning fork in a symmetrical arrangement, such that each of the two legs of the cantile ...
We propose a method to simulate human bodies based on anatomy concepts. We believe that the closer our model is to reality, the better our results will be. Using this approach, we are developing our human representation. Our model is divided into three lay ...
Tidal water table fluctuations in a coastal aquifer are driven by tides on a moving boundary that varies with the beach slope. One-dimensional models based on the Boussinesq equation are often used to analyse tidal signals in coastal aquifers. The moving b ...
