Adaptive coatings based on polyaniline for direct 2D observation of diffusion processes in microfluidic systems
Florea, Larisa; Martin Mayor, Alain; Bou-Ali, M. Mounir; Meagher, Kate; Diamond, Dermot; Tutar, Mustafa; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2016-08)[EN] Therefore the understanding and proper evaluation of the flow and mixing behaviour at microscale becomes a very important issue. In this study, the diffusion behaviour of two reacting solutions of HCI and NaOH were ... -
Driving Flows in Microfluidic Paper-Based Analytical Devices with a Cholinium Based Poly Ionic Liquid Hydrogel
Akyazi, Tugce; Tudor, Aleksandru; Diamond, Dermot; Florea, Larisa; Basabe Desmonts, Lourdes ; Benito López, Fernando (Elsevier, 2018-01-31)Paper microfluidics technology requires effective handling and control of fluids, and this remains as asignificant obstacle for their accessibility by end-users, inhibiting their transition from the laboratory intothe ... -
Light-responsive Materials for Microfluidic Applications
Ter Schiphorst, Jeroen; Sáez Castaño, Janire; Diamond, Dermot; Benito López, Fernando ; Schenning, Albertus P. H. J. (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-03-07)While the microfluidic device itself may be small, often the equipment required to control fluidics in thechip unit is large e.g. pumps, valves and mixing units, which can severely limit practical use and functionalscalability. ... -
Micro-Capillary Coatings Based on Spiropyran Polymeric Brushes for Metal Ion Binding, Detection, and Release in Continuous Flow
Dunne, Aishling; Delaney, Colm; McKeon, Aoife; Nesterenko, Pavel; Paull, Brett; Benito López, Fernando ; Diamond, Dermot; Florea, Larisa (MDPI, 2018-04)Micro-capillaries, capable of light-regulated binding and qualitative detection of divalent metal ions in continuous flow, have been realised through functionalisation with spiropyran photochromic brush-type coatings. Upon ... -

Poly(ionic Liquid) Thermo-responsive Hydrogel Microfluidic Actuators
Tudor, Aleksandru; Sáez Castaño, Janire; Florea, Larisa; Benito López, Fernando ; Diamond, Dermot (2017-03-14)tributylhexyl phosphonium sulfopropylacrylate (PSPA) poly(ionic liquid) (PILc) hydrogels as temperature controlled actuators in microfluidic devices. The hydrogel size is modulated by localised changes in its temperature ... -
Porous self-protonating spiropyran-based NIPAAm gels with improved reswelling kinetics
Ziołkowski, Bartosz; Florea, Larisa; Jannick, Theobald; Benito López, Fernando ; Diamond, Dermot (Springer, 2016-02)[EN] This study focuses on improving the speed ofactuation of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-based photoresponsive gels containing copolymerised spiropyran as the photoswitch and acrylic acid as the proton source. The improvement ...
