Chemical amplification in self-stiffening materials
… material can be endowed with the capability of chemical amplification to amplify the initially dilute or localized stimulus. Decoupling these two reactions largely simplifies requirements of synthesizing specific and sometimes complex functionality for sensitive response and allows for myriad …

Novel resist materials for next generation lithography
… has been addressed by implementation of chemical amplification. A three-component chemically amplified negative-tone resist has been developed via the addition of a photoacid generator and a crosslinker to a fullerene derivative. This thesis work presents a significant extension of the …

Indirect Detection of Explosive Vapours by Thermal Dissociation Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy
… radicals were amplified via a peroxide radical chemical amplification scheme (PERCA) that required the addition of NO and a radical chain carrier, commonly CO, to generate NO2. A modelling study was conducted to assess alternative radical chain carriers as well as the effect of TD on …

A Non-Biological Inhibition Based Sensing Technique (NIBS) for the Detection of Halogenated Disinfection By-Products in Water
… disinfection by-products in water. NIBS is a chemical amplification method where the analyte of interest inhibits a given catalyzed reaction rather than enhancing the reaction rate. NIBS works similar to enzymatic inhibition except that NIBS does not use enzymes - which are very unstable and …

Chemical Micro Preconcentrators Development for Micro Gas Chromatography Systems
… of MEMS is to develop micro instruments for chemical analysis. An example is gas chromatography (GC) which is widely used in food, environmental, pharmaceutical, petroleum/refining, forensic/security, and flavors and fragrances industries. A MEMS-based micro GC (µGC) provides capabilities …

Towards next-generation degradable polymers via double amplification
… to occur as predicted. The concept of double amplification was explored in the context of developing novel triggered release systems with very rapid responses. The system explored in this work was designed to trigger in response to sunlight, using long-wave UV-sensitive photoacid generators as …

Microfluidic electrochemical sensors for the selective detection of toxic compounds
… liquid chemistries based on the principles of chemical amplification were also studied in great detail. Research first focused on improving the life time of the oxime reagent in solution. The oxime reagent decomposition in solution was studied electrochemically as well as by solid phase …

Development of Molecular Glasses for Solvent-Free Photolithography utilizing Combinatorial Vapor Deposition
… reactions between the other resist components (chemical amplification). Investigations and characterizations (DSC, TGA, HPLC) were performed on the suitability of various low molecular weight chemically amplified resist (CAR) materials for film deposition via PVD as well as subsequent …
