Project “Fundamental aspects of millimeter wave spectroscopy as a detection method for lab-on-chip biomedical diagnostic devices.”
Abstract. Study of some fundamental aspects of millimetre (MM) wave spectroscopy as a detection method for lab on chip diagnostic is proposed.
MM wave is spectroscopic method is based on measurement of dielectric propertied of spectroscopic objects in MM wave frequency range, can work in real time up to on line,
do not need chemical reagent and have other advantage. The most sensitivity of MM wave spectroscopy is connected with water media, for example human tissue blood and skin,
that will be studied in proposal. Other possibility is biopolymers, that have absorption in this frequency range, they will be also studied in this project.
But for elaboration such method first of all need fundamental knowledge about dielectric spectra in MM wave frequency range. Presently,
there is little data on the permittivity of tissues and biopolymers in the MM wave band. Detail research of this properties and mechanism of relaxation will be carried out.
The second problem is effect of microfluidic dimensions, size, viscosity of drops and for microdrops, their ratios between surface to volume to dielectric propertied of substances
under investigation. Research of such influence their mechanism will be studied in project. In cooperation with Prof. Meriakri we will design develop and produce the mask
for glass–polydimethylsi-loxane lab on a chip devices. Biomedical technology students of the University of Twente will tackle the problem and should cooperate
with the students from Moscow. In order to study skin/epithelial cell characteristics we suggest let the students grow epithelial cells in lab on a chip systems.
The design should be adapted in such a way that it fits with the detection system. This means that geometry and function should be optimised.
In so called address flow microfluidics systems the properties and characteristics will be studied. We will go for multianalyte / multi tissue diagnostics.
Students will work on the connection of lab on a chip technology with tissue engineering.

Funded by Europa Union Community Research & Development Information Service CORDIS
http://cordis.europa.eu/en/home.html
The proposed project PREDFIRE –TTC complements the current PREDFIRE project ( http://www.engj.ulst.ac.uk/predfire ). It will address two critical issues for PREDFIRE by pursuing the following objectives i.e.
a) on-line measurements of the monodispersity of nanoparticles in the polymers (related to WP1 and WP2 of PREDFIRE using only off-line measurements)
and b) surface temperature measurements of a burning polymer through its flames (related to WP3 and WP4 of PREDFIRE using inadequate thermocouple techniques).
The first objective will ensure the monodispersty of the polymer nanocomposite during production avoiding early in the process unintended specimens,
whereas the second objective will assist in the validation of the predictive models in PREDFIRE. Both areas will use MM (millimetre) and microwave spectroscopy to measure
a) the dielectric properties of the nanocomposite polymer which are known to be related to the monodispersity of the nanoparticles
and b) the reflection and radiation from the burning polymer since flame are transparent to MM wavelengths. The new partner,
which is a team from Laboratory of Spectroscopy and Millimetre and Submillimeter Wave Measurements, part of Institute of Radio Engineering and Electronics, Russian Academy of Sciences,
has extensive expertise to achieve the objectives of the present project. This team has all previous knowledge, experience, skills and great motivation for successfully
completing this complicated work. The Russian partner is complementary to the PREDFIRE consortium and has great experience in collaboration with researchers
of other branches and industry, both national and international.

Absrtact. In this project theoretical and experimental investigation of nature of electromagnetic response
of homologous series of cyanobiphenyl (CB) (n=5-12) and oxycyanobiphenyl (OCB) (6 OCB, 7OCB) nematic liquid crystals in millimetre
and teragerz frequency ranges is proposed. Correlation between microscopic and mesoscopic properties and experimental
macroscopic dielectric properties of these liquid crystals will be studied. Investigation of birefringent properties
and odd-even effect for mentioned above homologous series of liquid crystals will be done.
Search of "universal" dielectric response in liquid crystals will be provided.
Theoretical models, based on Fokker-Plank equation, will be used for theoretical study.
The original methods, that allow get analytical solution of these equations will be used.
Also for experimental measurements will be carried out by original methods, elaborated by teams of this project.
Theoretical and experimental investigations will be closely connected.
Comparison of all theoretical results and experimental data will be provided for all investigation of the project.
Russian and Taiwan teams will work together for interpretation of results and coordinated their works.
