3D printing of soft hydrogels incorporating functional nanomaterials
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-10)Tissue engineering (TE) scaffolds are required to closely mimic the human body environment to enable the study of cell behavior in vitro and allow the fabrication of artificial tissue constructs. The scaffolds should possess ... -
Development of a Hybrid Hydrogel Bio-ink for 3D Printing of Biomimetic Tissue Constructs
(University of Waterloo, 2019-05-24)Colorectal cancer is the 2nd most common form of cancer in Canada. Most colorectal cancer deaths are caused by complications that stem from the metastasis of colorectal cancer to other organs such as the liver. During ... -
A Membrane Biosensor for the Detection of Lactate in Body Fluids
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-31)The increased demand of real-time and convenient heath monitoring has spurned the rapid development of wearable health monitoring devices. In these devices, the central part is the sensor that can convert health information ... -
Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube Biohybrid Based Wearable Sensor
(University of Waterloo, 2022-05-04)Continuous real-time surveillance of biological markers can have significant implications on disease prognosis. To date, most commercially available continuous monitoring health systems are physical sensors due to the ease ... -
Properties of Hydrogels Incorporating Graphene Oxide-based Nanoparticles for Tissue Engineering Purposes
(University of Waterloo, 2016-01-21)Tissue engineering involves designing and fabricating scaffolds for tissue regeneration and replacement. Much research has focused on identifying the key factors that affect scaffold performance and the necessary material ... -
The Study of Carbon Nanotube based Chemi-resistive Portable Biosensors used for the Detection of Bacteria
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-14)The successful fabrication and characterization of a portable, disposable single walled carbon nanotube biosensor used for the detection of bacteria was demonstrated by this work. The Si/SiO2 based SWNT growth using chemical ... -
Study of Ion and Solvent Transport through Graphene Oxide Membranes
(University of Waterloo, 2017-01-10)Filtration membranes are required to be thin, robust, energy efficient, and accurate on selectivity. Graphene oxide (GO) is believed to be a potential next generation material for industrial membrane applications because ...
