The copolymers of cycloolefin (COC), a type thermoplastic material, have been widely used for the large-scale industrial fabrication droplet microfluidic devices, which is often performed using hot-embossing or injection-molding techniques. generation droplets and uniformity sizes are significantly affected by surface wettability COC during pressure stability employed fluid pump operation. In o...

Soluble functional (co)polyimides are of great interest in the area of separation processes or optical applications, due to their excellent mechanical-, thermal- and optical properties, their superior processability and the ability to adapt their properties to a wide range of special applications. Therefore, two series of novel (co)polyimides containing fluorinated sulfur- and carboxylic acid g...

The prognosis for patients suffering from cardiovascular and many other diseases can be substantially improved if diagnosed at an early stage. High performance diagnostic testing using disposable microfluidic chips can provide a platform for realizing this vision. Amic AB (Uppsala, Sweden) has developed a new microfluidic test chip for sandwich immunoassays fabricated by injection molding of th...

4-ChloroMethyl Styrene (CMS) was copolymerized with different monomers such as Methyl MethAcrylate (MMA), Methyl Acrylate (MA), 2-EthylHexyl Acrylate (EHA) by free radical polymerization method at 70 ±1°C using a,a'-Azobis(IsoButyroNitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator. The copolymer compositions were obtained using related 1HNMR spectra and the poly...
