From Chaos to Control: Programmable Crack Patterning with Molecular Order in Polymer Substrates

Hyun Kim et al.

Summary: Cracks, typically a sign of material failure, can also be purposely used to create periodic patterns on material surfaces. A new strategy allows for programmable crack patterns on a polymer surface, which can then be used to pattern other materials. This approach provides unprecedented control over the orientation, length, width, and depth of the cracks, promising new architectures for devices with micro- and nanoscale features.

Multiplexed all-solid-state ion-sensitive light-addressable potentiometric sensor (ISLAPS) system based on silicone-rubber for physiological ions detection

Tao Liang et al.

Summary: This study combined LAPS with ionophore-doped all-solid-state silicone-rubber ISMs to establish a program-controlled multiplexed ISLAPS system for physiological ions detection. The silicone-rubber ISMs have better adhesion to silicon-based sensors without containing plasticizers, which can avoid the plasticizer pollution and improve the long-term stability. Pre-modifying a layer of P3OT on the sensor surface inhibit the formation of an aqueous layer and improve the sensor lifetime.
