The PNIPAAm and PSA hydrogel films were prepared by means of in situ photopolymerization directly inside the fluidic channel of a microfluidic chip fabricated by combining Si and SU-8 technologies. The swelling/shrinking properties and height changes of the PNIPAAm and PSA films inside the fluidic channel were studied at temperatures of deionized water from 14 to 36 °C and different pH values (pH 3-12) of Titrisol buffer, respectively. Additionally, in separate experiments, the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of the PNIPAAm hydrogel was investigated by means of a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and a surface plasmon resonance (SPR) method. Mass-flow measurements have shown the feasibility of the prepared hydrogel films to work as an on-chip integrated temperature- or pH-responsive microvalve capable to switch the flow channel on/off.}, language = {en} } @article{DarmoSchaefferFoersteretal.2000, author = {Darmo, J. and Sch{\"a}ffer, F. and F{\"o}rster, Arnold and Kordos, P.}, title = {Beryllium doped low-temperature-grown MBE GaAs: material for photomixing in the THz frequency range}, series = {ASDAM 2000 : conference proceedings / edited by Jozef Osvald ...
