Ultrathin crystalline silicon-based omnidirectional strain gauges for implantable/wearable characterization of soft tissue biomechanics.

Project description:Monitoring soft-tissue biomechanics is of interest in biomedical research and clinical treatment of diseases. An important focus is biointegrated strain gauges that track time-dependent mechanics of targeted tissues with deforming surfaces over multidirections. Existing methods provide limited gauge factors, tailored for sensing within specific directions under quasi-static conditions. We present development and applicability of implantable/wearable strain gauges that integrate multiple ultrathin monocrystalline silicon-based sensors aligned with different directions, in stretchable formats for dynamically monitoring direction angle-sensitive strain. We experimentally and computationally establish operational principles, with theoretical systems that enable determination of intensities and direction of applied strains at an omnidirectional scale. Wearable evaluations range from cardiac pulse to intraocular pressure monitoring of eyeballs. The device can evaluate cardiac disorders of myocardial infarction and hypoxia of living rats and locate the pathological orientation associated with infarction, in designs with possibilities as biodegradable implants for stable operation. These findings create clinical significance of the devices for monitoring complex dynamic biomechanics.

Soft Nanomembrane Sensor-Enabled Wearable Multimodal Sensing and Feedback System for Upper-Limb Sensory Impairment Assistance.

Project description:Sensory rehabilitation in pediatric patients with traumatic spinal cord injury is challenging due to the ongoing development of their nervous systems. However, these sensory problems often result in nonuse of the impaired limb, which disturbs impaired limb rehabilitation and leads to overuse of the contralateral limb and other physical or psychological issues that may persist. Here, we introduce a soft nanomembrane sensor-enabled wearable glove system that wirelessly delivers a haptic sensation from the hand with tactile feedback responses for sensory impairment assistance. The smart glove system uses gold nanomembranes, copper-elastomer composites, and laser-induced graphene for the sensitive detection of pressure, temperature, and strain changes. The nanomaterial sensors are integrated with low-profile tactile actuators and wireless flexible electronics to offer real-time sensory feedback. The wearable system's thin-film sensors demonstrate 98% and 97% accuracy in detecting pressure and finger flexion, respectively, along with a detection coverage of real-life temperature changes as an effective rehabilitation tool. Collectively, the upper-limb sensory impairment assistance system embodies the latest in soft materials and wearable technology to incorporate soft sensors and miniaturized actuators and maximize its compatibility with human users, offering a promising solution for patient sensory rehabilitation.

Fabrication of Enzyme-Free and Rapid Electrochemical Detection of Glucose Sensor Based on ZnO Rod and Ru Doped Carbon Nitride Modified Gold Transducer.

Project description:Over 3 in 4 adults with diabetes live in low- and middle-income counties and health expenditure also increased 316% over the last 15 years. In this regard, we fabricate low cost, reusable and rapid detection of diabetes sensor based on zinc oxide rod inserted ruthenium-doped carbon nitride (ZnO-g-Ru-C3N4) modified sensor device. Developed sensor device physically and electrochemically characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry (CA) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Sensing device as an effective enzyme-free glucose detection with high sensitivity (346 μA/mM/cm2) over the applied lower potential of +0.26 V (vs. Ag/AgCl), fast response (3 s) and broad linear range of (2-28) mM, coupled with a lower limit of detection (3.5 nM). The biosensing device gives better anti-interference ability with justifiable reproducibility, reusability (single electrode re-use 26 times in physiological buffer and 3 times in serum) and stability. Moreover, the real-time applicability of the sensor device was evaluated in human blood, serum and urine samples.

A Soft Pressure Sensor Array Based on a Conducting Nanomembrane.

Project description:Although skin-like pressure sensors exhibit high sensitivity with a high performance over a wide area, they have limitations owing to the critical issue of being linear only in a narrow strain range. Various strategies have been proposed to improve the performance of soft pressure sensors, but such a nonlinearity issue still exists and the sensors are only effective within a very narrow strain range. Herein, we fabricated a highly sensitive multi-channel pressure sensor array by using a simple thermal evaporation process of conducting nanomembranes onto a stretchable substrate. A rigid-island structure capable of dissipating accumulated strain energy induced by external mechanical stimuli was adopted for the sensor. The performance of the sensor was precisely controlled by optimizing the thickness of the stretchable substrate and the number of serpentines of an Au membrane. The fabricated sensor exhibited a sensitivity of 0.675 kPa-1 in the broad pressure range of 2.3-50 kPa with linearity (~0.990), and good stability (>300 Cycles). Finally, we successfully demonstrated a mapping of pressure distribution.

Single-crystalline germanium nanomembrane photodetectors on foreign nanocavities.

Project description:Miniaturization of optoelectronic devices offers tremendous performance gain. As the volume of photoactive material decreases, optoelectronic performance improves, including the operation speed, the signal-to-noise ratio, and the internal quantum efficiency. Over the past decades, researchers have managed to reduce the volume of photoactive materials in solar cells and photodetectors by orders of magnitude. However, two issues arise when one continues to thin down the photoactive layers to the nanometer scale (for example, <50 nm). First, light-matter interaction becomes weak, resulting in incomplete photon absorption and low quantum efficiency. Second, it is difficult to obtain ultrathin materials with single-crystalline quality. We introduce a method to overcome these two challenges simultaneously. It uses conventional bulk semiconductor wafers, such as Si, Ge, and GaAs, to realize single-crystalline films on foreign substrates that are designed for enhanced light-matter interaction. We use a high-yield and high-throughput method to demonstrate nanometer-thin photodetectors with significantly enhanced light absorption based on nanocavity interference mechanism. These single-crystalline nanomembrane photodetectors also exhibit unique optoelectronic properties, such as the strong field effect and spectral selectivity.

Fabrication of CuO-NP-Doped PVDF Composites Based Electrospun Triboelectric Nanogenerators for Wearable and Biomedical Applications.

Project description:A flexible and portable triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) based on electrospun polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) doped with copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 wt.-% w.r.t. PVDF content) was fabricated. The structural and crystalline properties of the as-prepared PVDF-CuO composite membranes were characterized using SEM, FTIR, and XRD. To fabricate the TENG device, the PVDF-CuO was considered a tribo-negative film and the polyurethane (PU) a counter-positive film. The output voltage of the TENG was analyzed using a custom-made dynamic pressure setup, under a constant load of 1.0 kgf and 1.0 Hz frequency. The neat PVDF/PU showed only 1.7 V, which further increased up to 7.5 V when increasing the CuO contents from 2 to 8 wt.-%. A decrease in output voltage to 3.9 V was observed for 10 wt.-% CuO. Based on the above results, further measurements were carried out using the optimal sample (8 wt.-% CuO). Its output voltage performance was evaluated as a function of varying load (1 to 3 kgf) and frequency (0.1 to 1.0 Hz) conditions. Finally, the optimized device was demonstrated in real-time wearable sensor applications, such as human motion and health-monitoring applications (respiration and heart rate).

Plasma Fabrication and SERS Functionality of Gold Crowned Silicon Submicrometer Pillars.

Project description:Sequential plasma processes combined with specific lithographic methods allow for the fabrication of advanced material structures. In the present work, we used self-assembled colloidal monolayers as lithographic structures for the conformation of ordered Si submicrometer pillars by reactive ion etching. We explored different discharge conditions to optimize the Si pillar geometry. Selected structures were further decorated with gold by conventional sputtering, prior to colloidal monolayer lift-off. The resulting structures consist of a gold crown, that is, a cylindrical coating on the edge of the Si pillar and a cavity on top. We analysed the Au structures in terms of electronic properties by using X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) prior to and after post-processing with thermal annealing at 300 °C and/or interaction with a gold etchant solution (KI). The angular dependent analysis of the plasmonic properties was studied with Fourier transformed UV-vis measurements. Certain conditions were selected to perform a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) evaluation of these platforms with two model dyes, prior to confirming the potential interest for a well-resolved analysis of filtered blood plasma.

Metal oxide semiconductor nanomembrane-based soft unnoticeable multifunctional electronics for wearable human-machine interfaces.

Project description:Wearable human-machine interfaces (HMIs) are an important class of devices that enable human and machine interaction and teaming. Recent advances in electronics, materials, and mechanical designs have offered avenues toward wearable HMI devices. However, existing wearable HMI devices are uncomfortable to use and restrict the human body's motion, show slow response times, or are challenging to realize with multiple functions. Here, we report sol-gel-on-polymer-processed indium zinc oxide semiconductor nanomembrane-based ultrathin stretchable electronics with advantages of multifunctionality, simple manufacturing, imperceptible wearing, and robust interfacing. Multifunctional wearable HMI devices range from resistive random-access memory for data storage to field-effect transistors for interfacing and switching circuits, to various sensors for health and body motion sensing, and to microheaters for temperature delivery. The HMI devices can be not only seamlessly worn by humans but also implemented as prosthetic skin for robotics, which offer intelligent feedback, resulting in a closed-loop HMI system.

Facile Gold-Nanoparticle Boosted Graphene Sensor Fabrication Enhanced Biochemical Signal Detection.

Project description:Graphene has been considered as an excellent biochemical sensors' substrate material because of its excellent physical and chemical properties. Most of these sensors have employed enzymes, antibodies, antigens, and other biomolecules with corresponding recognition ability as recognition elements, to convert chemical signals into electrical signals. However, oxidoreductase enzymes that grow on graphene surfaces are affected significantly by the environment and are easily inactivated, which hinders the further improvement of detection sensitivity and robusticity. A gold-boosted graphene sensor was fabricated by the in situ electrochemical deposition of inorganic gold nanoparticles on vertical graphene nanosheets. This approach solves the instability of biological enzymes and improves the detection performance of graphene-based sensors. The uric acid sensitivity of the gold-boosted electrode was 6230 µA mM-1 cm-2, which is 6 times higher than the original graphene electrode. A 7 h GNSs/CC electrode showed an impressive detection performance for ascorbic acid, dopamine, and uric acid, simultaneously. Moreover, it exhibited a reliable detection performance in human serum in terms of uric acid. The possible reason could be that the vertical aliened graphene nanosheet acts as a reaction active spot. This 3D graphene-nanosheet-based doping approach can be applied to a wide variety of inorganic catalytic materials to enhance their performance and improve their durability in aspects such as single-atom catalysis and integration of multiple catalytic properties.

A Simple and Sensitive Wearable SERS Sensor Utilizing Plasmonic-Active Gold Nanostars.

Project description:Wearable sweat sensors hold great potential for offering detailed health insights by monitoring various biomarkers present in sweat, such as glucose, lactate, uric acid, and urea, in real time. However, most previously reported sensors, primarily based on electrochemical technology, are limited to monitoring only a single analyte at a given time. This study introduces a simple, sensitive, wearable patch based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), integrated with highly plasmonically active sharp-branched gold nanostars (GNS) for the simultaneous detection of three sweat biomarkers: lactate, urea, and glucose. We have fabricated the GNS on commercially available adhesive tape, resulting in achieving a low-cost, flexible, and adhesive wearable SERS patch. The limits of detection for lactate, urea, and glucose were achieved at 0.7, 0.6, and 0.7 μM, respectively, which are significantly lower than the clinically relevant concentrations of these biomarkers in sweat. We further evaluated the performance of our wearable SERS patch during outdoor activities, including sitting, walking, and running. To evaluate its overall effectiveness, we simultaneously measured the concentrations of lactate, urea, and glucose during these activities. Overall, our simple, sensitive wearable SERS sensor represents a significant breakthrough by enabling the simultaneous detection of lactate, urea, and glucose present in sweat, marking a major step toward future applications in autonomous and noninvasive personalized healthcare monitoring at home.
