Measurement of liquid crystal film thickness using interferometry
Kossivas, F.; Kyprianou, Andreas (2010)Thickness measurements of thin films having thickness less than 1 µm are difficult to obtain by an interferometer. These difficulties arise from the overlap of the fringes from the upper and lower surfaces of the thin ...

Regional elastic modulus measurements of the ex-vivo murine heart using atomic force microscopy
Kossivas, F.; Cao, L.; Michaelides, M.; Kyprianou, Andreas; Constantinides, C. (2013)Stiffness is an important mechanical index for characterisation of human and animal cells, tissues and intact organs. This study presents efforts for passive mechanical characterisation of the ex-vivo C57BL/6 murine heart ...

Thin liquid crystal film for corrosion sensing
Kossivas, F.; Kyprianou, Andreas (2008)The anchoring energy of Liquid Crystals (LCs) is influenced by several parameters. Many scientists have exploited LCs anchoring in order to develop several LC based optical sensors. This paper proposes and proves a new ...
