A PDMS based tuneable microoptical system fabricated merging deep reactive ion etching, SU-8 and soft lithography, with a low-cost (mass-production), simple and highly repetitive technology, is presented. This system consists on a structure of two microlen ...
In this paper, we present a detailed investigation into the suitability of atomic force microscopy (AFM) cantilevers with integrated deflection sensor and micro-actuator for imaging of soft biological samples in fluid. The Si cantilevers are actuated using ...
The complex mechanical modulus of polymer and polymer based composite materials showed a frequency-dependent behaviour during glass transition relaxation, which was historically modelled by the Arrhenius equation. However, this might not be true in a broad ...
A phenomenological Landau-theory model, where a crystal on cooling from a state with polar symmetry exhibits a maximum of dielectric permittivity and polarization-field hysteresis loops, is offered. The model is equivalent to that of a true ferroelectric i ...
Monomeric phthalocyanine pentylester derivatives containing Cu and Zn were synthesized via the cyclotetramerization of 4,5-dipentylphthalonitrile. Conversion of the pentylester derivatives by hydrolysis yielded the octacarboxylic acid phthalocyanine deriva ...
An original study of the dielectric charging in a suspended gate FET device (SG-FET) and its use for memory applications is reported. Combining a movable conductive gate with the ability to retain charge on top of the dielectric layer of FET device, a MEMS ...
Micronozzles with piezoelectric actuator were fabricated and investigated. The micronozzles were fabricated in glass substrates using a powderblasting technique, and the actuator is a bimorph structure made from a piezoelectric polymer. The actuator was lo ...
A high capacitive ratio RF MEMS switch, with low-actuation voltage is designed, fabricated and experimentally validated on high-resistivity silicon (HRS) substrate. Thanks to very good fabrication control of all steps and to the high dielectric constant of ...
The availability of reliable constitutive models linking he bulk electric properties of porous media to their inner structure is a key requirement for useful quantitative applications of noninvasive methods. This study focuses on the use of dielectric meas ...
This article presents metal ion implantation as an alternative technique to fabricate compliant electrodes for small-size dielectric elastomer actuators. When reducing the size of these actuators to below 1 cm, the ability to pattern the electrodes is adde ...
