SENSORS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 24:3441. [PMID: 38894231 PMCID: PMC11175095 DOI: 10.3390/s24113441] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
An investigation was performed to develop a process to design and manufacture a 3-D smart skin with an embedded network of distributed sensors for non-developable (or doubly curved) surfaces. A smart skin is the sensing component of a smart structure, allowing such structures to gather data from their surrounding environments to make control and maintenance decisions. Such smart skins are desired across a wide variety of domains, particularly for those devices where their surfaces require high sensitivity to external loads or environmental changes such as human-assisting robots, medical devices, wearable health components, etc. However, the fabrication and deployment of a network of distributed sensors on non-developable surfaces faces steep challenges. These challenges include the conformal coverage of a target object without causing prohibitive stresses in the sensor interconnects and ensuring positional accuracy in the skin sensor deployment positions, as well as packaging challenges resulting from the thin, flexible form factor of the skin. In this study, novel and streamlined processes for making such 3-D smart skins were developed from the initial sensor network design to the final integrated skin assembly. Specifically, the process involved the design of the network itself (for which a physical simulation-based optimization was developed), the deployment of the network to a targeted 3D surface (for which a specialized tool was designed and implemented), and the assembly of the final skin (for which a novel process based on dip coating was developed and implemented.).

Abstract
Developing high-performance chemiresistive gas sensors with mechanical compliance for environmental or health-related biomarker monitoring has recently drawn increasing research attention. Among them, two-dimensional MXene materials hold great potential for room-temperature hazardous gas (e.g., NH3) monitoring regardless of the complicated fabrication process, insufficient 2D/3D flexibilities, and poor environmental sustainability. Herein, a Ti3C2Tx MXene/gelatin ink was developed for patterning electrodes through a facile spray coating. Particularly, the patterned Ti3C2Tx-based coating exhibited good adhesion on the paper substrate against repeated peeling-off and excellent mechanical flexibility against 1000 cyclic stretching. The porous morphology of the coating facilitated the NH3 sensing ability. As a result, the 2D kirigami-shaped NH3 sensor exhibited a good response of 7% to 50 ppm of NH3 with detectable concentrations ranging from 5-500 ppm, decent selectivity over interferences, etc., which could be well-maintained even at 50% stretched state. In addition, with the help of mechanically guided compressive buckling, 3D mesostructured MXene origamis could be obtained, holding promise for detecting the coming direction and height distribution of hazardous gas, e.g., the NH3. More importantly, the as-fabricated MXene/gelatin origami paper could be fully degraded in PBS/H2O2/cellulase solution within 19 days, demonstrating its potential as a high-performance, shape morphable, and environmentally friendly wearable gas sensor.

Multiplexed DNA-functionalized graphene sensor with artificial intelligence-based discrimination performance for analyzing chemical vapor compositions. MICROSYSTEMS & NANOENGINEERING 2023; 9:28. [PMID: 36949735 PMCID: PMC10025282 DOI: 10.1038/s41378-023-00499-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/27/2022] [Revised: 12/14/2022] [Accepted: 01/03/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
This study presents a new technology that can detect and discriminate individual chemical vapors to determine the chemical vapor composition of mixed chemical composition in situ based on a multiplexed DNA-functionalized graphene (MDFG) nanoelectrode without the need to condense the original vapor or target dilution. To the best of our knowledge, our artificial intelligence (AI)-operated arrayed electrodes were capable of identifying the compositions of mixed chemical gases with a mixed ratio in the early stage. This innovative technology comprised an optimized combination of nanodeposited arrayed electrodes and artificial intelligence techniques with advanced sensing capabilities that could operate within biological limits, resulting in the verification of mixed vapor chemical components. Highly selective sensors that are tolerant to high humidity levels provide a target for "breath chemovapor fingerprinting" for the early diagnosis of diseases. The feature selection analysis achieved recognition rates of 99% and above under low-humidity conditions and 98% and above under humid conditions for mixed chemical compositions. The 1D convolutional neural network analysis performed better, discriminating the compositional state of chemical vapor under low- and high-humidity conditions almost perfectly. This study provides a basis for the use of a multiplexed DNA-functionalized graphene gas sensor array and artificial intelligence-based discrimination of chemical vapor compositions in breath analysis applications.

Abstract
The growing demand for complex three-dimensional (3D) micro-/nanostructures has inspired the development of the corresponding manufacturing techniques. Among these techniques, 3D fabrication based on mechanically guided assembly offers the advantages of broad material compatibility, high designability, and structural reversibility under strain but is not applicable for nanoscale device printing because of the bottleneck at nanofabrication and design technique. Herein, a configuration-designable nanoscale 3D fabrication is suggested through a robust nanotransfer methodology and design of substrate's mechanical characteristics. Covalent bonding-based two-dimensional nanotransfer allowing for nanostructure printing on elastomer substrates is used to address fabrication problems, while the feasibility of configuration design through the modulation of substrate's mechanical characteristics is examined using analytical calculations and numerical simulations, allowing printing of various 3D nanostructures. The printed nanostructures exhibit strain-independent electrical properties and are therefore used to fabricate stretchable H2 and NO2 sensors with high performances stable under external strains of 30%.

Abstract
The sensing of harmful gases and vapors is of fundamental interest to control the industrial emissions and environmental contamination. Nitrogen/phosphorus codoped carbon nanotube sponges (NP-CNTSs) were used to detect ethanol, acetone, cyclohexane, isopropanol, and methanol. The NP-CNTSs were produced through the aerosol-assisted chemical vapor deposition (AACVD) method using acetonitrile and triphenylphosphine as precursors at 1020 °C. The sensors based on NP-CNTSs were tested with varying operating temperatures (25-100 °C) and gas vapor concentrations (5-50 ppm). For instance, for a gas vapor concentration of 30 ppm and an operating temperature of 65 °C, the sensors showed changes in the electrical resistance of 1.12%, 1.21%, 1.09%, 2.4%, and 1.34% for ethanol, acetone, cyclohexane, isopropanol, and methanol, respectively. We found that the response and recovery times for isopropanol gas vapor are up to 43.7 s and 95 s, respectively. The current sensor outperformed the sensors reported in the literature by at least two times in the response measurement. Additionally, we performed van der Waals density functional theory calculations to elucidate the role of nitrogen and phosphorous codoped single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and their interaction with the considered gas molecule. We analyzed the molecular adsorption energy, optimized structures, and the density of states and calculated the electrostatic potential surface for N-doped, P-doped, NP-codoped, and OH-functionalized NP-codoped metallic SWCNTs-(6,6) and semiconducting SWCNTs-(10,0). Adsorption energy calculations revealed that in most cases the molecules are adsorbed to carbon nanotubes via physisorption. The codoping in SWCNTs-(6,6) promoted structural changes in the surface nanotube and marked chemisorption for acetone molecules.

Abstract
Textile-based sensors in the form of a wearable computing device that can be attached to or worn on the human body not only can transmit information but also can be used as a smart sensing device to access the mobile internet. These sensors represent a potential platform for the next generation of human-computer interfaces. The continuous emergence of new conductive materials is one of the driving forces for the development of textile sensors. Recently, a two-dimensional (2D) MXene material with excellent performance has received extensive attention due to its high conductivity, processability, and mechanical stability. In this paper, the synthesis of MXene materials, the fabrication of conductive textiles, the structural design of textile sensors, and the application of MXene-based textile sensors in the wearable field are reviewed. Furthermore, from the perspective of MXene preparation, wearability, stability, and evaluation standards, the difficulties and challenges of MXene-based textile sensors in the field of wearable applications are summarized and prospected. This review attempts to strengthen the connection between wearable smart textiles and MXene materials and promote the rapid development of wearable MXene-based textile sensors.

Abstract
The surge in air pollution and respiratory diseases across the globe has spurred significant interest in the development of flexible gas sensors prepared by low-cost and scalable fabrication methods. However, the limited breathability in the commonly used substrate materials reduces the exchange of air and moisture to result in irritation and a low level of comfort. This study presents the design and demonstration of a breathable, flexible, and highly sensitive NO2 gas sensor based on the silver (Ag)-decorated laser-induced graphene (LIG) foam. The scalable laser direct writing transforms the self-assembled block copolymer and resin mixture with different mass ratios into highly porous LIG with varying pore sizes. Decoration of Ag nanoparticles on the porous LIG further increases the specific surface area and conductivity to result in a highly sensitive and selective composite to detect nitrogen oxides. The as-fabricated Ag/LIG gas sensor on a flexible polyethylene substrate exhibits a large response of -12‰, a fast response/recovery of 40/291 s, and a low detection limit of a few parts per billion at room temperature. Integrating the Ag/LIG composite on diverse fabric substrates further results in breathable gas sensors and intelligent clothing, which allows permeation of air and moisture to provide long-term practical use with an improved level of comfort.

Abstract
Mechanical instabilities in soft materials have led to the formation of unique surface patterns such as wrinkles and cracks for a wide range of applications that are related to surface morphologies and their dynamic tuning. Here, we report a simple yet effective strategy to fabricate strain-tunable crack and wrinkle microvalves with dimensions responding to the applied tensile strain. The crack microvalves initially closed before stretching are opened as the tensile strain is applied, whereas the wrinkle microvalves exhibit the opposite trend. Next, the performance of crack and wrinkle microvalves is characterized. The design predictions on the bursting pressure of microvalves and others from the theory agree reasonably well with the experimental measurements. The microfluidic devices with strain-tunable crack and wrinkle microvalves have then been demonstrated for microsphere screening and programmable microfluidic logic devices. The demonstrated microfluidic devices complement the prior studies to open up opportunities in microparticle/cell manipulations, fluidic operations, and biomedicine.

Abstract
Micro/nanodevices have been widely applied for the real-time monitoring of intracellular activities and the delivery of exogenous substances in the past few years. This review focuses on miniaturized micro/nanodevices for assessment and treatment in stomatology and ophthalmology. We first summarize the recent progress in this field by examining the available materials and fabrication techniques, device design principles, mechanisms, and biosafety aspects of micro/nanodevices. Following a discussion of biochemical sensing technology from the cellular level to the tissue level for disease assessment, we then summarize the use of microneedles and other micro/nanodevices in the treatment of oral and ocular diseases and conditions, including oral cancer, eye wrinkles, keratitis, and infections. Along with the identified key challenges, this review concludes with future directions as a small fraction of vast opportunities, calling for joint efforts between clinicians and engineers with diverse backgrounds to help facilitate the rapid development of this burgeoning field in stomatology and ophthalmology.
