Abstract Biomaterials play a crucial role in advancing biosensor technologies for medical, environmental, and food safety applications. This study investigates natural biomaterials, such as food-derived chromophores, cellulose, peptides, high-performance biosensors bioelectronic devices. Chromophores, namely grape anthocyanins, are potential candidates the development of artificial retinal devices showing light-responsivity at 435 nm, close to human blue cone photoreceptors (420 nm),...
Abstract Advancements in sensor technologies capable of measuring key biomarkers can greatly enhance medical diagnostics and health monitoring, facilitating more effective diagnosis, treatment, prevention. While there are numerous interest, gaseous ammonia (NH 3 ) stands out due to its significance as an indicator organ function (e.g., liver kidney failure) or bacterial infections Helicobacter pylori , Proteus mirabilis the body. This review discusses metabolism presence NH body organs, well...
Carbon nanotube (CNT)-based chemiresistive gas sensors are known to not fully recover the baseline after exposure. This is why often heat applied thermally activate sensor and improve desorption process occurring at surface. In this letter, we combine single-walled CNTs (SWCNTs) with conjugated polymers (CPs), i.e., Poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT), realize improved recovery. Five configurations were fabricated diverse positions of sensing material layers respect interdigitated electrodes...
The recent advances on flexible electronics and sensors have required the development of superior substrates that can withstand different levels types deformation, while keeping integrity functionality sensing materials. This work deals with a zero Poisson's ratio (ZPR) auxetic structure integrated pressure material. ZPR endure 15% shearing deformation combined stretch, presents 0.061 at maximum longitudinal 76%. resistive material sensitivity (2.21x10 <sup...
Abstract Microstrip patch antennas (MPAs) are compact and easy-to-fabricate antennas, widely used in long-distance communications. MPAs commonly fabricated using subtractive methods such as photolithographic etching of metals previously deposited sputtering or evaporation. Despite being an established technique, manufacturing requires various process steps generates material waste. Additive (AM) techniques instead allow optimal use material, besides enabling rapid prototyping. AM thus...
Gastrointestinal ammonia levels and temperature can give indications on the health status of an individual. It is therefore importance to develop sensors which monitor these parameters. In this work, diode with organic semiconducting polymer, i.e., poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) sensing layer Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) bottom aluminum (Al) top electrode were fabricated. First, rigid -coated glass substrates advancing flexible ITO-covered polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabricate...
Carbon nanotubes are a promising sensing material for bio-transduction devices, due to their unique electrical properties, nanosize, bio-compatibility, and simple low-cost processability. In this contribution, we present two classes of devices (i.e., electrolyte-gated field-effect transistor-based sensors gas sensors) fabricated by facile scalable spray deposition water-based carbon nanotube inks. The developed platforms have been employed the detection several analytes different...
