Over the past few decades, Bombyx mori silk fibroin has become a ubiquitous material for applications ranging from biomedical devices to optics, electronics, and sensing, while also showing potential in food supply chain being re-engineered as functional architecture design-related applications. Its widespread use derives its unique properties, including biocompatibility, edibility, optical transparency, stabilization of labile compounds, ability controllably change conformation degrade...
In this study, a new edible coating material with enhanced mechanical and gas barrier properties was studied by coupling silk fibroin (SF) poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH). SF PVOH water suspensions were mixed at different ratios to form multilayered membranes that, after phase separation, assembled on the surface of fresh-cut produce upon dip coating. The effects mixing ratio transparency, properties, vapor, oxygen permeability films investigated. Higher fractions corresponded an increased...
Abstract Wearable sensors are establishing themselves as options for real‐time continuous health monitoring in care and wellness. In particular, the use of flexible interfaces that conform to skin have attracted considerable interest extraction meaningful pathophysiological information through painless sampling analysis biofluids. contrast, conventional techniques biomarkers difficult adapt portable due their invasive protocols, biosample preparation reagent stabilization. Here a...
A close up image of the colorimetric sensor with stabilized enzymes used to detect lactate in real time. Image analysis during exercise uses response four center dots compare them reference colors determine concentration sweat. This is reported by Fiorenzo G. Omenetto and co-workers article number 2300141.
Colorimetric sensors represent an accessible and sensitive nanotechnology for rapid measurement of a substance's properties (e.g., analyte concentration) via color changes. Although colorimetric are widely used in healthcare laboratories, interpretation their output is performed either by visual inspection or using cameras highly controlled illumination set-ups, limiting usage end-user applications, with lower resolutions altered light conditions. For that purpose, we implement set image...
