Pressure ischemia is a medical condition characterised by the necrosis of the skin and underlying tissues in body areas exposed to prolonged pressure. This condition leads to the development of bedsores and affects 9% of ...

This thesis describes the research that has been completed for the application of polyaniline as a food quality indicator. It has been reported by WRAP (Waste and Resources Action Programme) that in the UK alone, a third ...

The intrinsic stability of fibre optic based sensing systems offer a platform that is suited to hazardous waste detection in a wide range of environments. Over the last few years Cranfield University has been working on ...

Due to the enhanced level of national security currently required due to the possibility of terrorist attack, monitoring devices for trace levels of explosive materials are now of the upmost importance. One such method ...

This thesis describes a novel fabrication procedure for microelectrodes to be used with the scanning electrochemical microscope (SECM), the characterisation of a variety of novel impedance based immunosensors, and the ...

This thesis describes work focused towards the fabrication and characterisation of immunosensor platforms for the label-free detection of analytes of importance in the health and food industries. Due to their low unit ...

The commercial development of a disposable aqueous chlorine sensor based on a novel microelectrode array fabrication process is described. Non-conducting poly(o-phenylenediamine) films are firstly used to passivate conductive ...
