Electrically-conducting polymers (CPs) were first developed as a revolutionary class of organic compounds that possess optical and electrical properties comparable to metals well inorganic semiconductors display the commendable correlated with traditional polymers, like ease manufacture along resilience in processing. Polymer nanocomposites are designed manufactured ensure excellent promising f...

Thackston, Kyle A., M.S.B.M.E., Purdue University, May 2016. Optimization of Wireless Power Networks for Biomedical Applications. Major Professor: Pedro Irazoqui. Successful physiological integration of electronics will open the doors to new methods of treatment and diagnoses. One of the key challenges of this integration is designing devices as small as possible while still maintaining high fu...

Graphene oxide (GO) is one of the most promising functional materials used in various applications like energy storage (batteries and supercapacitors) sensors, photocatalysis, electronics and in biomedicine. The last 10 years literature on GO for biomedical applications revealed and confirmed the scope of its potential capabilities as biomaterial. GO alone and its modified form with different m...

Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) is a critical block of the sensing unit of an implant and for measurements of various biophysiological signals, such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Electromyogram (EMG) that covers the distinct portions of the frequency spectrum and signal bandwidths. ADC consumes about 30~35% of the total power of the device which is very high. Henc...
