In June 2023, PRIME was featured in the Microfluidics special issue of the Botenstoff, the digital magazine of Human.technology Styria GmbH. Human.technology Styria is a cluster of roughly 140 organizations and businesses located in the Austrian provice of Styria...
What is the status? We have a working computational model framework that accurately captures spontaneous-strain-driven shape change in the nematic actuators and continue to use it to explore and optimize design ideas. What have you achieved so far? We have found...
PRIME was featured in the latest issue of the BNN QUARTERLY in June 2023 with an announcement of the PRIME Final Dissemination Event “Microfluidics in their PRIME: Integrated Chips, Active Valves, Smart Sensors, and What Comes Next” on 14 September 2023 in...
We are pleased to announce the final dissemination event of the PRIME project, titled Microfluidics in their PRIME: Microfluidic Chips, Active Valves, Smart Sensors, and What Comes Next. It takes place in Vienna, Austria on the campus of the Technical University of...
What is the status? We currently have a working valve actuated by light and we are working in the miniaturization and also trying to increase the speed of our valve. What have you achieved so far? We have successfully coupled the LCE actuators to a preliminary design...
What is the status? We are managing the project PRIME website with more than 4,300 visitors and social media accounts with over 300 total followers. We are proud of the 9 scientific publications produced by the consortium so far, several of which were in high-impact...
