Notwithstanding its relatively recent discovery, graphene has gone through many evolution steps and inspired a multitude of applications in fields, from electronics to life science. The advancements production patterning, the inclusion two-dimensional (2D) graphenic materials three-dimensional (3D) superstructures, further extended number potential applications. In this Review, we focus on laser-induced (LIG), an intriguing 3D porous material produced by direct laser scribing carbonaceous...
Wearable sensors present a new frontier in the development of monitoring techniques. They are great importance sectors such as sport and healthcare they enable physiological signals biological fluids, human sweat, to be continuously monitored. Until recently this could only carried out specialized laboratories using cumbersome often expensive devices. Sweat integrated onto textile substrates not innovative but also represent first attempt use an idea system that will worn directly on body....
The kinetics of water vapour sorption by several anhydrous hydrophobic and hydrophilic ionic liquids (ILs) were gravimetrically determined at 25 °C two levels humidity, namely 43 81%. A simple equation was used to fit the data. kinetic parameters obtained from different ILs compared differences related IL structures. Results showed that even absorb an unexpected speed.
Abstract: Foot ulcers account for 15% of comorbidities associated with diabetes. Presently, no device allows the status foot to be continuously monitored when patients are not hospitalized. In this study, we describe a temperature and pH sensor capable monitoring diabetic venous leg developed in frame seventh framework program European Union project SWAN-iCare (smart wearable autonomous negative pressure wound therapy). Temperature is measured by exploiting variations electrical resistance...
The analytical performances of needle trap micro-extraction (NTME) coupled with gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry were evaluated by analyzing a mixture twenty-two representative breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) belonging to different chemical classes (i.e. hydrocarbons, ketones, aldehydes, aromatics and sulfurs). NTME is an emerging technique that guarantees detection limits in the pptv range pre-concentrating low volumes sample, it particularly suitable for analysis. For...
Although its first definition dates back to more than a century ago, pH and measurement are still studied for improving the performance of current sensors in everyday analysis. The gold standard is glass electrode, but intrinsic fragility need frequent calibration pushing research field towards alternative sensitive devices materials. In this review, we describe most recent optical, electrochemical, transistor-based provide an overview on status scientific efforts sensing.
The production of electrical and electronic equipment is increasing worldwide with a dramatic increase waste. Sustainable materials to produce sensors may thus positively impact on the environment. Casein milk protein that was used fabricate non-cytotoxic biodegradable capacitive sensor by green chemical process adding glycerol trehalose. casein-based film characterized means thermal (TGA EGA-MS) spectroscopic (FTIR-ATR Dielectric Spectroscopy) techniques. Contact angle, water vapour...

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is the main cause of mortality worldwide, particularly in elderly. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) gold standard biomarker for HF diagnosis and therapy monitoring. It determined blood samples by immunochemical methods generally adopted most laboratories. Saliva analysis a powerful tool clinical applications, mainly due to its non-invasive less risky sampling. This study describes validated analytical procedure NT-proBNP determination saliva...
Sizing irregular burns is commonly done with use of the patient's hand as a template representing 1% body surface. To verify that this accurate over broad range ages or to see if surface palm more consistent template, planimetry study was done. This revealed area averaged 0.52% total (+/- 0.07) and palmar 0.85% 0.08). The represented 0.5% ages.
Abstract One of the key issues in realization stretchable and curvilinear electronics is fabrication interconnects. Stretchable interconnects are basically conductor lines embedded elastomer substrates. Currently, metal polydimethylsiloxane one major candidates. In this work, a novel straightforward method presented that allows 20 μm wide gold starting from commercial double sided flexes (Cu–PI–Cu). These still fully functional after minimum 100 k cycles at 40% elongation. addition to...
