Fabrication of microfluidic devices for artificial respiration
… photoactive thin films to create an implantable artificial respiration platform. Whereas state-of-the-art respiration support machines deliver oxygen gas directly to the blood via external macroscale devices, our technique utilizes a biomimetic photocatalytic process to generate energy from light …

Development of a microfluidic device for blood oxygenation by photocatalysis
… of lung disease and lung cancer. The goal of the artificial respiration project is to create a self-contained, mobile oxygen supply that is suitable for implantation and that can potentially replace acute or chronically disabled lungs. A novel microfluidic device for the oxygenation of whole blood …
