Acoustofluidics offers contact-free manipulation of particles and fluids, enabling their uses in various life sciences, such as for biological medical applications. Recently, there have been extensive studies on acoustic streaming-based acoustofluidics, which are formed inside a liquid agitated by leaky surface waves (SAWs) through applying radio frequency signals to interdigital transducers (IDTs) piezoelectric substrate. This paper aims describe acoustofluidics provide readers with an...
Fogging, icing, or frosting on optical lenses, optics/photonics, windshields, vehicle/airplane windows, and solar panel surfaces have often shown serious safety concerns with hazardous conditions impaired sight. Various active techniques, such as resistive heating, passive icephobic treatments, are widely employed for their prevention elimination. However, these methods not always suitable, effective, efficient. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamentals recent...
Moisture condensation, fogging, and frost or ice formation on structural surfaces cause severe hazards in many industrial components such as aircraft wings, electric power lines, wind-turbine blades. Surface-acoustic-wave (SAW) technology, which is based generating monitoring acoustic waves propagating along surfaces, one of the most promising techniques for monitoring, predicting, also eliminating these occurring a cold environment. Monitoring condensation frost/ice using SAW devices...
Along with the revolution of Internet Things (IoT), smart, flexible, easily fabricated, and highly sensitive gas sensors are essential for many portable electronics. In this study, a wearable NO2 sensor based on nanomesh structure woven Ti3C2Tx microflakes Bi2S3 nanobelts operated at room temperature was successfully designed prepared. The effects mass ratio between two materials performance were evaluated. embedded inside accordion-like provide large specific surface areas abundant active...
Icing, fogging, and frosting cause safety hazards, reduced energy efficiency, operation difficulties in various sectors including aerospace renewable energy. Traditional methods for mitigating these hazards are often based on active transducers that either inconvenient, intensive, or utilizing chemicals detrimental to the environment lacking long-term stability. To tackle challenges of situ monitoring fogging icing structural surfaces, we explored an integrated platform by combining...
Transdermal drug delivery provides therapeutic benefits over enteric or injection because its transdermal routes provide more consistent concentrations of and avoid issues drugs affecting kidneys liver functions. Many technologies have been evaluated to enhance through the relatively impervious epidermal layer skin. However, precise large hydrophilic molecules is still a great challenge even though microneedles other energized (such as electrical, thermal, ultrasonic) patches used, which are...
We introduced the use of piezoelectric thin film based ZnO/Si SAW devices. explored mechanisms bacterial growth and inactivation caused by varied RF powers, ZnO concentrations, thermal effects via technology.
In this study, we introduced an integrated approach using piezoelectric thin film-based surface acoustic wave (SAW) and wireless power transfer (WPT) technologies, designed for both passive monitoring active defogging/icing functions. We systematically investigated the resonant frequency shifts of ZnO/glass SAW devices, establishing their correlations with variations in humidity temperature under cold conditions. Acoustic waves generated through device were used defogging deicing functions...
Ultraviolet (UV) detectors based on surface acoustic wave (SAW) technology offer unique advantages of remote or wireless operation capability with a potential zero power consumption. Frequency shift SAW devices induced by UV irradiation is mainly caused acoustoelectric and thermal effects, although mass-loading photo-capacitive effects might also have minor influences. Currently, the individual contribution from either effect for sensing has not been thoroughly studied. In this work, we...
