The present thesis deals with new composite photoresists for the UV-LIGA and microstereolithography microfabrication processes. The aim is to build functional 3D objects, with high aspect ratio. Two projects have been investigated in parallel for each micr ...
A conductive composite photoresist has been developed for the direct photopatterning of electrodes. It is based on a dispersion of silver nanoparticles in SU8, a non-conductive, negative-tone photoresist. Manufactured structures have an electrical conducti ...
The electrical conductivity of Ce0.992Nb0.008O2−δ was measured as a function of oxygen partial pressure between 10−28 and 1 bar in the temperature range of 873–1173 K. The activation energy for the conductivity at an oxygen partial pressure of 10−4 bar was ...
This thesis analyzes the properties of heavily doped nanocrystalline titanium dioxide. Thin films were deposited by magnetron sputtering with either water vapor as reactive gas or a periodically interrupted oxygen supply. The samples were at the same time ...
The era of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) started twenty years ago. A cut gold cantilever with a glued diamond stylus served as the scanning probe. Within a few years the crystalline silicon (Si) became the – up to today – predominant SPM probe material. ...
The organic polymers incorporating inorganic nanoparticles can result in material possessing with unique size-dependent properties, such as mechanical, optical, electrical, thermal and magnetic, that can be istinctively conveyed into the composite by the s ...
Increasing interest in specific applications in the field of micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS and NEMS) has raised the request for new functional polymeric materials. Epoxy based photoresists are being broadly used for the fabrication of mic ...
Carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) are inherently multifunctional materials that, in addition to their primary function as a structural material, allow for the sensing and monitoring of in situ damage nucleation and evolution by the measure ...
We formulate a generalized tunneling-percolation model that describes the electrical properties of conductor-insulator cellular disordered systems. This model predicts and explains the experimentally observed universal and nonuniversal behaviors of such pr ...
