Micro- and Nanotechnology Enabled Applications for Portable Miniaturized Analytical Systems outlines the basic principles of miniaturized analytical devices, such as spectrometric, separation, imaging and electrochemical miniaturized instruments. Concepts such as smartphone-enabled miniaturized detection systems and micro/nanomachines are also reviewed. Subsequent chapters explore the emerging application of these mobile devices for miniaturized analysis in various fields, including medicine and biomedicine, environmental chemistry, food chemistry, and forensic chemistry. This is an important reference source for materials scientists and engineers wanting to understand how miniaturization techniques are being used to create a range of efficient, sustainable electronic and optical devices. Miniaturization describes the concept of manufacturing increasingly smaller mechanical, optical, and electronic products and devices. These smaller instruments can be used to produce micro- and nanoscale components required for analytical procedures. A variety of micro/nanoscale materials have been synthesized and used in analytical procedures, such as sensing materials, sorbents, adsorbents, catalysts, and reactors. The miniaturization of analytical instruments can be applied to the different steps of analytical procedures, such as sample preparation, analytical separation, and detection, reducing the total cost of manufacturing the instruments and the needed reagents and organic solvents. Outlines how miniaturization techniques can be used to create new optical and electronic micro- and nanodevices Explores major application areas, including biomedicine, environmental science and security Assesses the major challenges of using miniaturization techniques

Cardiovascular diseases and cancer are the top two leading causes of death in the United States according to the U.S. department of health and human services. Fast growing technologies are being developed to early diagnose and/or treat both heart diseases and cancers. One of the most successful cardiovascular devices is the cardiac pacemaker. Although cardiac pacemakers have been used by millions of patients worldwide, these pacemakers still suffer from several limitations because of the power source. Like other electronic devices that rely on batteries for their power, cardiac pacemakers must be replaced when the battery is drained. In addition, batteries electrode materials and electrolytes are toxic which raise serious safety concerns if leakage happen inside the patient's body. In addition to their toxicity, these batteries represent more than 50-70 % of the size of implantable pacemakers which limits further miniaturization. In addition, portable electrochemical biosensors require durable portable power source to drive their electrochemical reaction and obtain the detection signal. In this thesis, biosupercapacitors were first developed as thin, safe, light-weight, low-cost, and durable power sources for the next generation of miniaturized implantable biomedical devices and portable disease biosensors. Moreover, additive manufacturing techniques such as 3-D printing, and screen printing were used to fabricate the different components of the portable electrochemical biosensors designed for cancer biomarker detection as well as DNA damage screening assays. Finally, novel triboelectric nanogenerator devices were developed and used as a sensor/energy harvester systems for biomedical, mechanical, and soft robotics applications.
