Development and Applications of Oxide Thin Films using Atomic Layer Deposition and Prompt Inorganic Condensation

Creator:

Smith, Sean Weston

Abstract:

In the first part of this work, thin films of Al₂O₃ deposited via atomic layer deposition (ALD) are demonstrated to improve the thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels. ALD is a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) like method in which sequential precursor exposures and self-limited surface reactions produce a conformal...

Fabrication of a flexible glucose sensing catheter for human implantation

Creator:

Matthews, David J.

Abstract:

Flexible electronics processing techniques were applied to integrate a glucose sensor with a hormone-delivery catheter in order to create a cheap and minimally invasive method for patients with type 1 diabetes to continually monitor and control their blood sugar levels. Ultimately, this work intends to move toward the development of...
