Book Description
In this work, a flexible biosensor platform based on impedance spectroscopy and comprising of gold electrodes, polymeric flow cells and a suitable surface modification were developed. Initially, several surface modification techniques described in literature were implemented and optimized for impedimetric biosensors but their individual limitations rendered them unsuitable for this biosensor platform. A novel method based on photobleaching was developed and tested showing satisfactory results.

Book Description
New Frontiers in Nanochemistry: Concepts, Theories, and Trends, Volume 1: Structural Nanochemistry is the first volume of the new three-volume set that explains and explores the important concepts from various areas within the nanosciences. This first volume focuses on structural nanochemistry and encompasses the general fundamental aspects of nanochemistry while simultaneously incorporating crucial material from other fields, in particular mathematic and natural sciences, with specific attention to multidisciplinary chemistry. Under the broad expertise of the editor, the volume contains 50 concise yet comprehensive entries from world-renowned scholars, alphabetically organizing a multitude of essential basic and advanced concepts, ranging from algebraic chemistry to new energy technology, from the bondonic theory of chemistry to spintronics, and from fractal dimension and kinetics to quantum dots and tight binding—and much more. The entries contain definitions, short characterizations, uses and usefulness, limitations, references, and more.

Book Description
This work offers three solutions tailored to specific applications to overcome NMR challenges in the micro-domain. As the first sub-topic of this work, different potential electrode designs, compatible with NMR technique, are suggested and experimentally evaluated. As the second focus point, this work tackles multinuclear detection challenges. In parallel, a low-cost, broadband insert is discussed to enhance the sensitivity of standard NMR coils when a small sample volume is available.

Book Description
This work deals with the process of photon upconversion in surface-anchored metal-organic frameworks. During the upconversion, two low-energy photons are absorbed and fused into a higher-energy photon, which is emitted. In this work, this process is analyzed in surface-bound metal-organic frameworks by spectroscopic methods. Furthermore, the application for increasing the efficiency of solar cells is discussed.

Book Description
Inspired by superhydrophobic leaves of water plants, a flexible superhydrophobic self-cleaning, transparent thin polymeric nanofur film was fabricated through highly scalable hot embossing and hot pulling techniques. Nanofur can retain an air film underwater, whose stability against external stimuli such as high pressure and movement through fluids is investigated. Additionally, the optical properties of nanofur are investigated and exploited to enhance the efficiency of optoelectronic devices.

Book Description
A new immobilization method for the localized adsorption of proteins on thermoplastic surfaces is introduced. Artificial three-phase interfaces were realized by surface structuring to control the wetting behavior which lead to a preferred adsorption in these modified areas. Additionally, different fabrication methods were analyzed to determine mass fabrication capabilities. These fabrication methods also allowed the production of fully structured microchannels to tune the fluids behavior within.

Book Description
Die Forschung im Bereich der Mikro-Energiegewinnungssysteme wurde durch den Bedarf an autarken, stabilen Energiequellen für vernetzte drahtlose Sensoren vorangetrieben. Abwärme, insbesondere bei Temperaturen unter 200 °C, stellt eine vielversprechende, aber mit den derzeitigen Umwandlungstechnologien schwer zu gewinnende Energiequelle dar. - Research into micro energy harvesting systems has been driven by the need for self-sustaining, stable power sources for interconnected wireless sensors. Waste heat, particularly at temperatures below 200 °C, presents a promising but challenging energy source to recover using current conversion technology.

Book Description
Elastocaloric cooling is an emerging solid-state cooling technology with the potential to provide environmentally friendly, efficient cooling. The elastocaloric effect in superelastic shape memory alloy films is used to develop advanced cooling devices for small-scale applications. Cascaded and parallelized devices are developed to increase device temperature span and cooling capacity. The concepts are proven experimentally, a maximum temperature span of 27° C is achieved in a cascaded device.
