Abstract
Nanotechnology has the capability of making significant contributions to healthcare. Nanofabrication of multifunctional nano- or micro-character systems is becoming incredibly influential in various sectors like electronics, photonics, energy, and biomedical gadgets worldwide. The invention of such items led to the merger of moderate cost and excellent quality nano or micro-characters into 3D structures. Nanofabrication techniques have many benefits as the primary technology for manipulating cellular surroundings to research signaling processes. The inherent nanoscale mechanisms of cyto-reactions include the existence and death of cells, stem cell segmentation, multiplication, cellular relocation, etc. Nanofabrication is essential in developing various nano-formulations like solid lipid nanoparticles, nanostructured lipid carriers, liposomes, niosomes, nanoemulsions, microemulsions etc. Despite the initial development cost in designing the nanofabrication-based products, it has also reduced the total cost of the healthcare system by considering the added benefits compared to the other standard formulations. Thus, the current review mainly focuses on nanofabrication techniques, advantages, disadvantages, applications in developing various nanocarrier systems, challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract
The global burden of foodborne disease is enormous and foodborne pathogens are the leading cause of human illnesses. The detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria has become a research hotspot in recent years. Rapid detection methods based on immunoassay, molecular biology, microfluidic chip, metabolism, biosensor, and mass spectrometry have developed rapidly and become the main methods for the detection of foodborne pathogens. This study reviewed a variety of rapid detection methods in recent years. The research advances are introduced based on the above technical methods for the rapid detection of foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The study also discusses the limitations of existing methods and their advantages and future development direction, to form an overall understanding of the detection methods, and for point-of-care testing (POCT) applications to accurately and rapidly diagnose and control diseases.

Process Optimization for Manufacturing Functional Nanosurfaces by Roll-to-Roll Nanoimprint Lithography. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12030480. [PMID: 35159823 PMCID: PMC8839048 DOI: 10.3390/nano12030480] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2021] [Revised: 01/07/2022] [Accepted: 01/28/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
Roll-to-roll nanoimprint lithography (RTR-NIL) is a low-cost and continuous fabrication process for large-area functional films. However, the partial ultraviolet (UV) resin filling obstructs the ongoing production process. This study incorporates UV resin filling process into the nanopillars and nanopores by using RTR-NIL. A multiphase numerical model with a sliding mesh method is proposed in this study to show the actual phenomena of imprint mold rotation and feeding of UV resin on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The implementation of UV resin filling under environmental conditions was performed by utilizing the open-channel (OC) boundary conditions. The numerical model was solved by using the explicit volume of fluid (VOF) scheme to compute the filling on each node of the computational domain. The effects of different processing parameters were investigated through the proposed numerical model such as imprinting speed (IS), contact angles (CAs), viscosity, initial thickness of the PET, and supporting roll diameter. A good agreement was found between numerical simulations and experimental results. The proposed numerical model gives better insights of the filling process for the mass production of functional surfaces with nanopillars and nanopores patterns for different applications on an industrial scale.

Abstract
The bottom-up approach to directly synthesizing low-dimensional materials with outstanding performance has extended the material basis for the next generation integrated circuit industry. All the low-dimensional semiconductors, metals, dielectrics, and their heterojunctions are very promising bricks to build faster and more efficient chips because of their atomically smooth surface and interfaces. The greatest challenge in the synthesis of nanomaterials is how to precisely control the structure, crystalline orientation, defects, dimensions, etc. In past decades, both the methodology and the mechanism of synthesis have been systematically investigated to improve the controllability. However, few studies focused on sensing the synthesis processes in situ and responding to the synthesis immediately. Here, we propose the concept of intelligent synthesis in which the final product can be automatically fine-controlled by a closed loop including in situ monitoring and real-time interventions. As a model system, a high-temperature-tolerant circuit is fabricated on the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) growth substrate for sensing and responding to the synthesis processes. As a result, either highly pure semiconducting (s-) SWCNT arrays or metallic-semiconducting (m-s) junction arrays with different junction positions is simply synthesized by programming the responding signal. The intelligent synthesis shows much higher efficiency and controllability compared to conventional methods and will lead to the next leap in nanotechnology.
