Vela, AdamWith the advent of polymers micro fabrication methods for micro-fluidic devices, there has developed the need to investigate various forms of sealing such devices for practical applications. This research documents work performed on the thermal bonding of polymer micro-fluidic devices that contain both channels and reservoirs on the same plane.en-USNext-Generation Product Realization SystemsAn Approach for the Thermal Bonding of Micro-Fluidic DevicesThesis
