‘On-demand’ soft tissue adhesives by Mogal, Vishal Tukaram

“…Various plasma parameters were investigated for controlling model drug release and soft-tissue adhesion of polyester thin films. When compared to non-treated polyester thin films, plasma intensity could give rise to a ~ 6-fold (for 100 W, 5 min.) increase in shear adhesion strength (157 ± 24 mN/cm2). …”

Integration of an Aptamer-Based Signal-On Probe and a Paper-Based Origami Preconcentrator for Small Molecule Biomarkers Detection by Lee, Na E., Hong, Ji H., Lee, Seungmin, Yoo, Yong K., Kim, Kang H., Park, Jeong S., Kim, Cheonjung, Yoon, Junghyo, Yoon, Dae S., Lee, Jeong H.

“…However, detecting small molecules such as cortisol using LFAs is challenging due to limited binding sites and weak signal generation. Here, we report the development of cortisol-specific aptamer-based probes and a paper-based origami preconcentrator (POP) to amplify the probe signal. …”

Influence of post-deposition annealing on interfacial properties between GaN and ZrO2 grown by atomic layer deposition by Ye, Gang, Wang, Hong, Ng, Serene Lay Geok, Ji, Rong, Arulkumaran, Subramaniam, Ng, Geok Ing, Li, Yang, Liu, Zhi Hong, Ang, Kian Siong

“…Influence of post-deposition annealing on interfacial properties related to the formation/annihilation of interfacial GaOx layer of ZrO2 grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) on GaN is studied. ZrO2 films were annealed in N2 atmospheres in temperature range of 300 °C to 700 °C and analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. …”
