abstract = {In general, chromatographic and sensor analyses have been utilized for explosive detection. The main interest on those systems is to develop a method to selectively detect explosives at a single step as well as from vapor phase if possible. Moreover, on-site and real-time detection with portable systems is another challenge for the researchers. On the other hand, the detection of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) vapor at the crime scene, preferably before the explosion is highly demanded in order to prevent the negative effects of terrorism and to ensure the safety of the civilian population. In this study, initially, Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensor was prepared for real-time monitoring of TNT in aqueous solution, through the attachment of TNT peptide aptamer on the gold surface of QCM sensor. Secondly, after providing optimum conditions, TNT detection was investigated even from vapor phase through the QCM aptasensor. According to results, the selectivity coefficient of QCM-based aptasensor was calculated as 6.78 for TNT in respect to DNT whereas that was calculated as 9.02 for TNT in respect to TNB. In addition, the evaluation of the reusability and storage stability emphasized that the sensor could be used repeatedly without significant reduction in dissipation (∆D) values. The linearity coefficient (R2) was found to be 0.9965. The limit of detection (LOD) and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) were determined as 0.0238 and 0.0739 nM, respectively. The studies demonstrated that the portable QCM sensor decorated with the aptamer selective for TNT molecules could be classified as a promising alternative, selective, cost-friendly, easy-to-prepare, ready-to-use, and applicable for on-site and real-time explosive measurements (even from vapor phase).},

abstract = {Various ammonia sensors based on different materials have continuously been developed and employed to enable real-time monitoring of ammonia gas in the environment. Efforts are put not only to improve their sensitivity and selectivity towards the target gas but also to operate them at room temperature. Here, we investigated the effect of overlaying maltodextrin with different concentrations on the surface of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) nanofibers on ammonia sensing performances, in which quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was utilized as a transducer to measure the resonance frequency shift affected by the adsorbed gas molecules. Higher concentrations of the overlaying maltodextrin led to larger nanofiber diameter and more functional active groups on the active nanofibrous layers. PVAc nanofibers with 0.05% maltodextrin overlay demonstrated the highest sensitivity of 0.525 Hz·ppm−1 at room temperature, which was 6.4 times higher than their bare counterpart (nanofiber without maltodextrin overlay). That sensor also possessed fast response and recovery times of 32 s and 17 s with a low detection limit (1.92 ppm). Besides its high reproducibility, reversibility, and repeatability, the sensor exhibited outstanding selectivity to other gas analytes and good long-term stability for 32 days of testing. This research shows that maltodextrin overlay can be used as a low-cost alternative route to increase the performance of organic material-based ammonia sensors, especially polymer nanofibers.},

abstract = {The quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) is widely utilized in various fields for detecting parameters such as relative humidity (RH). However, the reliability of QCM as an RH sensor can be compromised by the nonuniform integration of sensing materials and the absence of a dehumidification system for calibration. Damping of the sensor performance may occur due to excessive water molecule adsorption on agglomerated sensing materials, while ineffective desorption of water molecules from these materials renders QCM-based humidity sensors unreliable in highly humid environments. This study presents an innovative approach to achieve area-specific and highly-controlled integration of ZIF-67 on a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) using electrospray deposition (ESD). The proposed method effectively decorates the sensor surface with exceptional picogram (pg) mass resolution. Additionally, an integrated microheater facilitates rapid sensor heating, eliminating residual water molecules and enhancing the proposed self-recalibration method. The comparative analysis demonstrates that the heated sensor exhibits a remarkable improvement of 47 times in hysteresis and 8 times in drift performance compared to the non-heated sensor. These findings hold great promise for enhancing the reliability of QCM-based humidity sensors, thereby finding utility in diverse research and application fields.},

abstract = {Solvents used in traditional chemical processes account for a large percentage of reaction mass and waste and can pose significant environmental and health risks. The environmentally friendly nature of mechanochemistry, in addition to other benefits, makes it a promising approach for sustainable chemistry over traditional solvent-based methods. However, it is still not a widely adopted method for performing chemical reactions on an industrial scale. This is partially due to the significant challenge associated with understanding the reaction kinetics under mechanochemical conditions. Many variations of scanning probe lithography (SPL) techniques are able to manipulate the organic molecules with precise control over force and position on surfaces, which offer unique opportunity to investigate the mechanochemical reactions at molecular level. Chapter 1 gives a review on recent advances in the application of SPL techniques in studying fundamental questions in mechanochemistry.



Polymer brushes, defined as thin polymer coatings in which individual polymer chains are tethered by one chain end to a solid interface. They are considered as the most powerful tools to interface properties. Potential applications of polymer brush patterns span a wide range from organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) to membranes for desalination and gas separation, from tissue engineering to protein adsorption, controlled surface wettability and the study of fundamentals of cell biology. A number of controlled/“living” polymerization techniques, in particular those based on radical chemistry have been applied to generate such coatings on various types of substrates. It enables the grafting density, the thickness, and the chemistry of the coating to be manipulated very readily without altering the bulk mechanical properties of biomaterials. Responsive polymer brushes are a category of polymer brushes that are capable of conformational and chemical changes in response to external stimuli. They offer unique opportunities for the control of surface properties due to the precise control of chemical and structural parameters such as the brush thickness, density, chemistry, and architecture. In Chapter 2 we will discuss multiplexed stimuli responsive polymer brushes patterns that contain hidden information within the same area.



In Chapter 3 we apply novel printing platform to investigate the mechanosusceptibility of molecules to the applied mechanical energy. Mechanochemical solvent-free reactions by milling, grinding or other types of mechanical action have emerged as a viable alternative to solution chemistry. Mechanochemistry offers not only a possibility to eliminate the need for bulk solvent use, and reduce the generation of waste, but it also unlocks the door to a different reaction environment in which synthetic strategies, reactions and molecules previously not accessible in solution, can be achieved. We have used elastomeric tip arrays to precisely control the time and force applied between dienes and dienophiles on a surface to determine rate constants, activation energies and activation volumes for four reaction systems.},

abstract = {Hypothesis. Submicron oil droplets stabilized using aldehyde-functionalized nanoparticles should adhere to the primary amine groups present at the surface of sheep nasal mucosal tissue via Schiff base chemistry. Experiments. Well-defined sterically-stabilized diblock copolymer nanoparticles of 20 nm diameter were prepared in the form of concentrated aqueous dispersions via reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) aqueous emulsion polymerization of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) using a water-soluble methacrylic precursor bearing cis-diol groups. Some of these hydroxyl-functional nanoparticles were then selectively oxidized using an aqueous solution of sodium periodate to form a second batch of nanoparticles bearing pendent aldehyde groups within the steric stabilizer chains. Subjecting either hydroxyl- or aldehyde-functional nanoparticles to high-shear homogenization with a model oil (squalane) produced oil-in-water Pickering macroemulsions of 20-30 µm diameter. High-pressure microfluidization of such macroemulsions led to formation of the corresponding Pickering nanoemulsions with a mean droplet diameter of around 200 nm. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) experiments were used to examine adsorption of both nanoparticles and oil droplets onto a model planar substrate bearing primary amine groups, while a fluorescence microscopy-based mucoadhesion assay was developed to assess adsorption of the oil droplets onto sheep nasal mucosal tissue. Findings. Squalane droplets coated with aldehyde-functional nanoparticles adhered significantly more strongly to sheep nasal mucosal tissue than those coated with the corresponding hydroxyl-functional nanoparticles. This difference was attributed to the formation of surface imine bonds via Schiff base chemistry and was also observed for the two types of nanoparticles alone in QCM studies. Preliminary biocompatibility studies using planaria indicated only mild toxicity for these new mucoadhesive Pickering nanoemulsions, suggesting potential applications for the localized delivery of hydrophobic drugs.},

We used electrospinning to deposit PVP nanofibers of different morphologies (spherical-beaded, spindle-beaded, and pure nanofiber) on a QCM surface to study the effect on sensor performance. BET characterization revealed that the spherical-beaded nanofiber had the highest BET-specific surface area than the other morphologies, which improves the QCM sensor sensitivity, limit of quantification (LOQ), limit of detection (LOD), and sensor response. QCM coated with spherical-beaded nanofiber showed improved sensitivity of 2.632 Hz/ppm, lower LOD and LOQ of 0.018 ppm and 0.061 ppm, and better response compared to those coated with spindle-beaded and pure nanofiber. Based on adsorption isotherm models, Freundlich adsorption isotherm was found to be the most suitable for describing ethanol vapor adsorption on the sensor. The high sensitivity of the sensor to ethanol vapor was attributed to hydrogen bonding interactions between the sensor and the ethanol molecules. This study shows that the QCM-based sensor performance can be improved by modifying the morphology of nanofibrous coating layer.},

abstract = {Molecular thin films, such as self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), offer the possibility of translating the optimised thermophysical and electrical properties of high-Seebeck-coefficient single molecules to scalable device architectures. However, for many scanning probe-based approaches attempting to characterise such SAMs, there remains a significant challenge in recovering single-molecule equivalent values from large-area films due to the intrinsic uncertainty of the probe-sample contact area coupled with film damage caused by contact forces. Here we report a new reproducible non-destructive method for probing the electrical and thermoelectric properties of small assemblies (10 – 103) of thiol-terminated molecules arranged within a SAM on a gold surface, and demonstrate the successful and reproducible measurements of the equivalent single-molecule electrical conductivity and Seebeck values. We have used a modified thermal-electric force microscopy (TEFM) approach, which integrates the conductive-probe atomic force microscope, a sample positioned on a temperature-controlled heater, and a probe-sample peak-force feedback that interactively limits the normal force across the molecular junctions. The experimental results are interpreted by density functional theory calculations allowing quantification the electrical quantum transport properties of both single molecules and small clusters of molecules. Significantly, this approach effectively eliminates lateral forces between probe and sample, minimising disruption to the SAM while enabling simultaneous mapping of the SAMs nanomechanical properties, as well as electrical and/or thermoelectric response, thereby allowing correlation of the film properties.},

abstract = {Accurate visual measurement of micrometer-scale flying droplets in inkjet printing remains a challenge due to low image resolution caused by severe image conditions. Multi-frame super resolution (MFSR) has the potential to break through the measurement bottleneck. However, most existing MFSR methods are not satisfactory in multi-frame information utilization, especially for fast-motion scenes, and they often suffer from detail loss. In this study, focusing on multi-frame information utilization and deep feature extraction, we propose a dual pyramid multi-attention network (DPMAN). First, a dual pyramid deformable alignment (DPDA) module is proposed to deal with diverse motion, which extracts explicit offsets to enhance deformable alignment and perform coarse-to-fine alignment. Then, a gated attention fusion (GAF) module is devised to adaptively aggregate the aligned features to emphasize favorable features. Finally, a residual self-attention reconstruction (RSAR) module based on the multi-stage aggregation self-attention architecture is proposed to extract finer deep features for detail restoration. Experimental results on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that DPMAN achieves state-of-the-art performance. DPMAN is applied to droplet image reconstruction and improves the measurement accuracy from 3.34% to 2.52%.},

abstract = {Aerosols and films are found in indoor and outdoor environments. How they interact with pollutants, such as ozone, has a direct impact on our environment via cloud droplet formation and the chemical persistence of toxic aerosol constituents. The chemical reactivity of aerosol emissions is typically measured spectroscopically or by techniques such as mass spectrometry, directly monitoring the amount of material during a chemical reaction. We present a study which indirectly measures oxidation kinetics in a common cooking aerosol proxy using a low-cost Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation monitoring (QCM-D). We validated this approach by comparison with kinetics measured both spectroscopically and with high-intensity synchrotron radiation. Using microscopy, we found that the film morphology changed and film rigidity increased during oxidation. There was evidence of surface crust formation on oxidised particles, though this was not consistent for all experiments. Crucially, our kinetic modelling of these experimental data confirmed that the oleic acid decay rate is in line with previous literature determinations, which demonstrates that performing such experiments on a QCM-D does not alter the underlying mechanism. There is clear potential to take this robust and low cost, but sensitive method to the field for in-situ monitoring of reactions outdoors and indoors.},

This is true both for environmental monitoring, as well as leak detection in industrial processes.

Thus, there is a need to develop new types of sensor materials. Herein, we demonstrate a simple, low-cost metal-organic framework-based gas leak detection sensor. The system is based on gravimetric sensing using a quartz crystal microbalance. The quartz crystal is functionalized by layer-by-layer growth of a thin metal-organic framework film. This film shows selective uptake of methane or carbon dioxide under atmospheric conditions. The hardware has low cost, simple operation, and theoretically high sensitivity. Overall, the sensor is characterized by simplicity and high robustness. Furthermore, by exploiting the different adsorption kinetics as measured by multiple harmonics analyses, it is possible to discriminate whether the response is due to methane or carbon dioxide. In summary, we demonstrate data relevant towards new applications of metal-organic frameworks and microporous hybrid materials in sensing applications.},

abstract = {Lung cancer is the main malignant cancer reported worldwide, with one of the lowest survival rates. Deletions in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene are often associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a common subtype of lung cancer. The detection of such mutations provides key information for the diagnosis and treatment of the disease; therefore, the early screening of such biomarkers is of vital importance. The need for fast, reliable, and early detection means applied to NSCLC has led to the development of highly sensitive devices that can detect cancer-associated mutations. Such devices, known as biosensors, are a promising alternative to more conventional detection methods and can potentially alter the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. In this study, we report the development of a DNA-based biosensor, namely a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), applied to the detection of NSCLC, from liquid biopsies samples. The detection, as is the case of most DNA biosensors, is based on the hybridization between the NSCLC-specific probe and the sample DNA (containing specific mutations associated with NSCLC). The surface functionalization was performed with a blocking agent (dithiothreitol) and thiolated-ssDNA strands. The biosensor was able to detect specific DNA sequences in both synthetic and real samples. Aspects such as reutilization and regeneration of the QCM electrode were also studied.},

abstract = {Biomimetic sensing films based on molecularly imprinted polydopamine (MIPDA) offer a simple, biocompatible, and versatile approach to functionalise quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)-based biosensors for the recognition of target proteins. This study aims to investigate the chemical, morphological, and recognition properties of MIPDA sensing films polymerised on the QCM crystal surface and elucidate the impacts of various parameters on the liquid-phase biosensing behaviour. Pepsin, bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, and lysozyme were used as model proteins to study the effect of molecular imprinting and the influence of protein characteristics on the recognition behaviour of MIPDA-functionalised QCM crystals. Analysis of the protein adsorption patterns revealed that the MIPDA film contained heterogeneous binding sites with a dissociation constant in the µM range, showing that the binding affinity of the synthetic sensing film for the target protein was comparable to that of commonly used bioreceptors. In a case study using a pepsin-imprinted MIPDA film, the specific conformation and surface chemistry of the recognition cavities were discovered to promote the binding of pepsin (imprinting factor = 5.78) while simultaneously reducing the nonspecific binding of incompatible proteins on the QCM crystal surface. Protein recognition on MIPDA-functionalised QCM crystals was found to be governed by a combination of nonspecific interactions (e.g., electrostatic and polar interactions) between the proteins and the MIPDA sensing film. The findings indicate that increasing the density of selective recognition cavities in the MIPDA film and optimising the sample pH are key strategies to improve the selectivity and sensitivity for protein biosensing.},

abstract = {Transport diffusivity of molecules in a porous solid is constricted by the rate at which molecules move from one pore to the other, along the concentration gradient, i.e. by following Fickian diffusion. In heterogeneous porous materials, i.e. in the presence of pores of different sizes and chemical environments, diffusion rate and directionality remain tricky to estimate and adjust. In such a porous system, we have realized that molecular diffusion direction can be orthogonal to the concentration gradient. To experimentally determine this complex diffusion rate dependency and get insight of the microscopic diffusion pathway, we have designed a model nanoporous structure, metal-organic framework (MOF). In this model two chemically and geometrically distinct pore windows are spatially oriented by an epitaxial, layer-by-layer growth method. The specific design of the nanoporous channels and quantitative mass uptake rate measurements have indicated that the mass uptake is governed by the interpore diffusion along the direction orthogonal to the concentration gradient. This revelation allows chemically carving the nanopores, and accelerating the interpore diffusion and kinetic diffusion selectivity.},

The QCM sensors coated with the PAN/nickel nanofiber composite were evaluated for their sensitivities, selectivities, and stabilities. The morphologies and elemental compositions of the sensors were examined using a scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray. A Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer was used to investigate the elemental bonds within the nanofiber composites. The QCM sensors coated with PAN/nickel nanofibers offered a high specific surface area to enhance the QCM sensing performance. They exhibited excellent sensing characteristics, including a high sensitivity of 389.8 ± 3.8 Hz/SCCM, response and recovery times of 288 and 251 s, respectively, high selectivity for methanol compared to other gases, a limit of detection (LOD) of about 1.347 SCCM, and good long-term stability. The mechanism of methanol gas adsorption by the PAN/nickel nanofibers can be attributed to intermolecular interactions, such as the Lewis acid–base reaction by PAN nanofibers and hydrogen bonding by nickel nanoparticles. The results suggest that QCM-coated PAN/nickel nanofiber composites show great potential for the design of highly sensitive and selective methanol gas sensors.},

abstract = {In the present work, we developed an effective antimicrobial surface film based on sustainable microfibrillated cellulose. The resulting porous cellulose thin film is barely noticeable to human eyes due to its submicrometer thickness, of which the surface coverage, porosity, and microstructure can be modulated by the formulations and the coating process. Using goniometers and a quartz crystal microbalance, we observed a threefold reduction in water contact angles and accelerated water evaporation kinetics on the cellulose film (more than 50% faster than that on a flat glass surface). The porous cellulose film exhibits a rapid inactivation effect against SARS-CoV-2 in 5 min, following deposition of virus-loaded droplets, and an exceptional ability to reduce contact transfer of liquid, e.g., respiratory droplets, to surfaces such as an artificial skin by 90% less than that from a planar glass substrate. It also shows excellent antimicrobial performance in inhibiting the growth of both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis) due to the intrinsic porosity and hydrophilicity. Additionally, the cellulose film shows nearly 100% resistance to scraping in dry conditions due to its strong affinity to the supporting substrate but with good removability once wetted with water, suggesting its practical suitability for daily use. Importantly, the coating can be formed on solid substrates readily by spraying, which requires solely a simple formulation of a plant-based cellulose material with no chemical additives, rendering it a scalable, affordable, and green solution as antimicrobial surface coating. Implementing such cellulose films could thus play a significant role in controlling future pan- and epidemics, particularly during the initial phase when suitable medical intervention needs to be developed and deployed.},

Production of neutralizing antibodies for vaccine development or antibodies to be used in diagnostic tests usually require the usage of recombinant proteins representing the infectious agent.

Here, we report two peptides that mimic the receptor binding domain of the spike protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and investigate their binding behavior against the corresponding human immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin M (IgG and IgM) antibodies in a clinical sample using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor. These peptides were immobilized on a QCM sensor surface, and their binding behavior was studied against a clinical serum sample that was previously determined to be IgG and IgM-positive. It was determined that designed peptides bind to SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a clinical sample. These peptides might be useful for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies using different methods such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or lateral flow assays. A similar platform might prove to be useful for the detection and development of antibodies in other infections.},

abstract = {Surface-initiated activators regenerated by electron transfer atom transfer radical polymerization (ARGET ATRP) is used to polymerize a cis-diol-functional methacrylic monomer (herein denoted GEO5MA) from planar silicon wafers. Ellipsometry studies indicated dry brush thicknesses ranging from 40 to 120 nm. The hydrophilic PGEO5MA brush is then selectively oxidized using sodium periodate to produce an aldehyde-functional hydrophilic PAGEO5MA brush. This post-polymerization modification strategy provides access to significantly thicker brushes compared to those obtained by surface-initiated ARGET ATRP of the corresponding aldehyde-functional methacrylic monomer (AGEO5MA). The much slower brush growth achieved in the latter case is attributed to the relatively low aqueous solubility of the AGEO5MA monomer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis confirmed that precursor PGEO5MA brushes were essentially fully oxidized to the corresponding PAGEO5MA brushes within 30 min of exposure to a dilute aqueous solution of sodium periodate at 22 °C. PAGEO5MA brushes were then functionalized via Schiff base chemistry using an amino acid (histidine), followed by reductive amination with sodium cyanoborohydride. Subsequent XPS analysis indicated that the mean degree of histidine functionalization achieved under optimized conditions was approximately 81%. Moreover, an XPS depth profiling experiment confirmed that the histidine groups were uniformly distributed throughout the brush layer. Surface ζ potential measurements indicated a significant change in the electrophoretic behavior of the zwitterionic histidine-functionalized brush relative to that of the non-ionic PGEO5MA precursor brush. The former brush exhibited cationic character at low pH and anionic character at high pH, with an isoelectric point being observed at around pH 7. Finally, quartz crystal microbalance studies indicated minimal adsorption of a model globular protein (BSA) on a PGEO5MA brush-coated substrate, whereas strong protein adsorption via Schiff base chemistry occurred on a PAGEO5MA brush-coated substrate.},

In this study, we developed a sensor based on a quartz crystal microbalance coated with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) nanofiber overlaid with a polyaniline (PANi) nanocomposite to increase the sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor. The morphology and chemical composition of the fabricated nanofibers were examined by scanning electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. PANi nanocomposites were shown to stick to nanofiber, and nanofiber became many active groups after PANi overlay. The QCM sensor coated with the PVAc nanofiber overlaid with 0.05% PANi (PVAc/PANi5) exhibited the highest sensitivity of 0.297 Hz/ppm. This value was increased 5.2 times compared to the sensor without the PANi overlay (0.055 Hz/ppm). The PVAc/PANi5 sensor exhibited good reproducibility, repeatability, and reversibility. Moreover, a rapid response (36 s) and recovery (26 s) time were observed. The sensor also showed good selectivity towards other analytes and was proven to have good long-term stability during two months of testing. This finding may potentially be an alternative method for increasing the ammonia-sensing performance of a sensor through overlaying.},

TEM studies confirmed that well-defined spherical nanoparticles were obtained while DLS analysis indicated that the z-average particle diameter could be adjusted from 68 nm to 188 nm by systematically varying the target degree of polymerization for the core-forming PIPGMA block. Sodium periodate was employed as a selective oxidant to convert the cis-diol groups on PGEO5MA46-PIPGMA500 and PGEO5MA46-PIPGMA1000 nanoparticles into the analogous aldehyde-functionalized nanoparticles, which were then reacted with histidine via reductive amination. In each case, the extent of functionalization was more than 99% as judged by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Moreover, aqueous electrophoresis studies indicated that such derivatization converted initially neutral nanoparticles into nanoparticles that exhibit an isoelectric point (IEP) at around pH 7. Interestingly, DLS studies confirmed that such histidine-derivatized nanoparticles remained colloidally stable over a wide pH range, with no sign of any aggregation at around the IEP. A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was employed at 25 °C to assess the extent of adsorption of both the cis-diol- and histidine-functionalized nanoparticles onto a planar stainless steel substrate at pH 6. The histidine-bearing nanoparticles adsorbed much more strongly than their cis-diol counterparts. For the highest adsorbed amount of 70.5 mg m-2, the adsorbed layer of nanoparticles was examined by SEM, which enabled a fractional surface coverage of 0.23 to be estimated via digital image analysis.},

abstract = {Ionic liquids (IL) are molten salts with melting temperatures below 100°C. Combined with other unique properties such as high thermal and electrochemical stability, non-volatility and high ionic conductivity, they have been used as electrolytes in batteries and lubricants, where the viscoelasticity of the electric double layer (EDL) plays an important role. Due to the small length scale of EDL thickness, it has been challenging to characterize their viscoelastic properties at nanoscale. Herein, by using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), we measure the changes in the resonant frequency and energy dissipation of a gold-coated quartz crystal on which IL solutions are deposited. Since the gold surface of the quartz crystal is negatively charged at an open circuit potential, we can estimate the loss modulus of the EDL near the charged surface through a wave propagation model. Using this approach, we investigate the viscoelastic properties of the EDL formed on the quartz crystal from three ionic liquids with different anions: 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Bmim-TFSI); 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (Bmim-TfO); 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (Bmim-BF4). We find that the loss modulus of the EDL increases rapidly with increasing ionic liquid concentrations in the low concentration regime, but reaches about 3 orders of magnitude larger than the loss modulus of the bulk solution in the higher concentration regime. This behavior is independent of the type of anions. Our results can provide useful information on the rheological properties of the EDL in IL solutions, optimizing IL-based material design with improved system performances.},

The gas transmission device performance was tested using a commercial digital hygrometer and highly sensitive QCM coated with graphene oxide for six different humidity sets in range 5.3–82.6% RH. The dynamic repeatability tests proved the superb stability of the system, as QCM frequency deviation did not exceed 2% of frequency shifts among ten switching cycles (one hour each). Therefore, this system allowed a thorough investigation of humidity sensors properties in a controlled environment with a high precision.},

For piezoelectric resonant sensors, an addition of sensing materials can induce damping and hinder a stable device operation. Hence, the development of efficient method for materials integration is important to ensure high-performance and reliable sensor operation. This work presents a direct and precisely controlled integration of graphene oxide (GO) using the electrospray deposition (ESD) onto a 10 MHz Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) for humidity sensing. The proposed ESD method achieves a high mass resolution of a few nanograms. Moreover, the GO uniformly coats across the sensing electrode region as it acts as a ground electrode during ESD. The proposed ESD method also works for a wide range of nanomaterials, such as carbon nanotubes, tin oxide, and silicon carbide micro-and nano-powders. Compared to the conventional drop-casting and dip coating approaches, our method ensures minimal GO agglomeration, resulting in a stable QCM-oscillator operation in a wide range of relative humidity from 11% to 97%. The measurement sensitivity increases with an amount of GO, but less GO results in better noise and detection limit performances. The results shed light on the importance of selecting an optimal amount of sensing materials for stable sensor operations.},

abstract = {Cleaning a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) plays a crucial role in the regeneration of its biosensors for reuse. Imprecise removal of a receptor layer from a transducer's surface can lead to unsteady operation during measurements. This article compares three approaches to regeneration of the piezoelectric transducers using the electrochemical, oxygen plasma and Piranha solution methods. Optimization of the cleaning method allowed for evaluation of the influence of cleaning on the surface of regenerated biosensors. The effectiveness of cleaning the QCM transducers with a receptor layer in the form of a peptide with the KLLFDSLTDLKKKMSEC-NH2 sequence was described. Preliminary cleaning was tested for new electrodes to check the potential impact of the cleaning on deposition and the transducer's operation parameters. The effectiveness of the cleaning was assessed via the measurement of a resonant frequency of the QCM transducers. Based on changes in the resonant frequency and the Sauerbrey equation, it was possible to evaluate the changes in mass adsorption on the transducer's surface. Moreover, the morphology of the QCM transducer's surface subjected to the selected cleaning techniques was presented with AFM imaging. The presented results confirm that each method is suitable for peptide-based biosensors cleaning. However, the most invasive seems to be the Piranha method, with the greatest decrease in performance after regeneration cycles (25% after three cycles). The presented techniques were evaluated for their efficiency with respect to a selected volatile compound, which in the future should allow reuse of the biosensors in particular applications, contributing to cost reduction and extension of the sensors' lifetime.},

Equilin (Equ) is one of the estrogenic hormones that have a maximum contaminant level of 0.35 µg/L in the chemical pollutants list. In this study, estrogenic hormones were precisely detected in a short time by affinity-recognition-based interactions in Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) sensors. The QCM sensors were modified with 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid forming a self-assembled monolayer and with amino acids, namely tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine. The affinity interactions between Equ and amino acids were studied using docking tools and confirmed by QCM experiments. The LODs of Equ were obtained as 4.59, 5.05 and 6.30 ng/L for tyrosine-, tryptophan- and phenylalanine-modified QCM nanosensors, respectively, with linear dynamic detection in the range of 25–500 nM. In terms of the LOD, selectivity and sensitivity calculations, the tyrosine-modified QCM nanosensor was found to have the highest performance for Equ detection compared to the tryptophan- and phenylalanine-modified ones.},

abstract = {The layer thickness measurement process is an indispensable companion of vacuum sputtering and evaporation. Thus, quartz crystal microbalance is a well-known and reliable method for monitoring film thickness. However, most commercial devices use very simple signal processing methods, offering only a readout of the frequency change value and an approximate sputtering rate. Here, we show our concept of instrument, to better control the process parameters and for easy replication. The project uses open-source data and its own ideas, fulfilling all the requirements of a measuring system and contributing to the open-source movement due to the added value and the replacement of obsolete technologies with contemporary ones. The device provides an easy way to expand existing sputtering machines with a proper controller based on our work. The device described in the paper can be easily used in need, being a proven project of a fast, inexpensive, and reliable thin-film thickness monitor.},

abstract = {Stimuli-induced anticancer therapies based on remotely activated nanoagents have drawn a great deal of attention as attractive alternatives to conventional therapies. The rapid development of nanomaterial functionalization in the past few decades has allowed for the tailoring of hybrid nanoagents with dual anticancer activity and the simultaneous application of two complementary stimuli-triggered therapies, enhancing a therapeutic effect. In this study, the synthesis and characterization of the novel aminated chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) with zinc(II) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) immobilized on their surface are presented. The synthetized ZnPc-MNPs combine the superparamagnetic properties of MNPs and the photosensitizing potential of ZnPc, which makes them promising nanomaterials with application potential in dual anticancer therapy based on hyperthermia and photodynamic effects. To understand and describe the mechanism of the ZnPc-MNPs action at the molecular level, we used a variety of surface approaches. Analytical techniques provided information on the structure, morphology, and size of the obtained ZnPc-MNPs. The stationary and time-resolved spectroscopy methods showed that the immobilization of the photosensitizer on the MNP surface boosts its photophysical parameters important from a photodynamic therapy point of view. Because of the decrease in the fraction of excitation energy exchange into heat of the ZnPc-MNPs, the singlet oxygen generation quantum yield increased to 0.57, improving its anticancer activity. Moreover, it was shown that ZnPc immobilized on the MNP surface does not aggregate even despite aggregation of the ZnPc-MNPs. As a result, ZnPc preserves its spectral properties beneficial for a photosensitizer. Finally, the effect of the ZnPc-MNPs on model cell membranes formed by applying a Langmuir technique was studied. The studies performed indicate that the MNPs introduced into the phospholipid monolayer at low concentrations do not significantly disturb its thermodynamic state, or the domain structure, which is promising in terms of their biocompatibility.},

abstract = {The development of acoustic wave sensors was driven by the presence of modern technology. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) has excellent sensing capabilities and has wide range of applications. Selection of sensing layer is crucial to ensure the performance of the QCM sensor for volatile organic compound (VOC) detection.Hence, the objective of this paper is to compare the performance of chitosan coated QCM sensor for different analyte gas: isopropyl alcohol (IPA). Finite element simulation was implemented using COMSOL Multiphysics to study the resonance frequency shift before and after sensing. Simulation results shows IPA detection shows a higher resonance frequency shift of 62.5 Hz compared to acetone due to higher molar mass. Experimental work is conducted to validate the simulation results where IPA analyte gas yields in 84.8 Hz which is higher than acetone analyte gas at 41.8 Hz. The functional groups for both sensing layer and analyte gas also affects the gas detection performance. IPA analyte gas possessed hydroxyl groups that favors to hydrogen bond formation with chitosan sensing layer. Thus, the QCM sensor with chitosan as the sensing layer has the potential for VOC sensing of different molar mass and functional groups.},

For this, we exploit the novel method solution atomic layer deposition (sALD). The sALD growth rate has been determined at 4.5 Å per cycle. The compact and dense SURMOF films grown at room temperature by sALD possess a vastly superior film thickness uniformity than those deposited by conventional solution-based techniques, such as dipping and spraying while featuring clear crystallinity from 100 nm thickness. The highly controlled layer-by-layer growth mechanism of sALD proves crucial to prevent unwanted side reactions such as Ostwald ripening or detrimental island growth, ensuring continuous Cu-BDC film coverage. This successful demonstration of sALD-grown compact continuous Cu-BDC SURMOF films is a paradigm change and provides a key advancement enabling a multitude of applications that require continuous and ultrathin coatings while maintaining tight film thickness specifications, which were previously unattainable with conventional solution-based growth methods.},

Essentially, we use a microfluidic system integrated with quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) to investigate the relationship between the slip and the mechanical response of a vibrating solid for a moving fluid. We discover a liquid slip that emerges especially at high flow rates, which is independent of the surface wetting condition, having significant contributions to the changes in resonant frequency of the vibrating solid and energy dissipation on its surface. Overall, our work will lead to consideration of ‘missing slip’ in the vibrating solid-liquid systems such as the QCM-based biosensing where traditionally frequency changes are interpreted exclusively with mass change on the sensor surface, irrespective of the flow conditions.},

In this article, we present an open-source QCM, built on the OpenQCM project, and using an impedance-based measurement technique (QCM-I), which can be built for 200 euro. Our QCM allows for simultaneous monitoring of the frequency change and dissipation, such that both soft and rigid materials can be characterized. In addition, our QCM measurements can be combined with simultaneous electrochemical measurement techniques (EQCM-I). We demonstrate the validity of our system by characterizing the electrodeposition of a rigid metallic film (Cu) and by the electropolymerization of aniline. Finally, we discuss potential improvements to our system.},

abstract = {Natural estrogenic hormones are frequently used as birth control drugs in hormonal treatments for women and as growth precursors of farm animals in veterinary practice. These components threaten human health and wildlife when they are excreted in urine and mixed with water resources or soil, and they also cause serious side effects on aquatic organisms. Estrogenic hormones, which are widely used in postmenopausal hormone replacement therapies for women, are among the leading natural water source pollutants. Estrogenic hormones, which are included in the Endocrine Disrupting Chemical (EDC) pollutants list issued by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2020, can only be detected above certain limits with the detection methods used today. Equilin (Equ) is one of the estrogenic hormones with health risk level 0.35 µg/L in the chemical pollutants list. In this thesis study, a quartz crystal microbalance nanosensor was prepared for the rapid and effective real-time quantitative determination of Equ, which is one of the endocrine disrupting water pollutants, without the need for expensive devices and the use of specialists, which can measure with high precision. The interactions of both Equ and 17β-estradiol, estrone, estriol estrogenic hormones with this nanosensor system were investigated. On the other hand, interactions of these estrogenic hormones and nanosensor were investigated by computer modeling studies. The use of the AutoDock molecular modeling program has been a tool to facilitate the design of biomimetic ligands with high selectivity and affinity for the target molecule. Tyrosine (Tyr), Tryptophan (Trp) and Phenylalanine (Phe) amino acids were chosen as ligand molecules that will selectively recognize estrogenic hormones according to their three-dimensional geometric structures. By calculating the free binding energies of the intermolecular interactions of amino acids and estrogenic hormones, the molecules that interact the most with each other were determined. The molecular modeling results and the interactions between Equ and Tyr, Trp and Phe were mainly based on hydrophobic interactions. The phenyl ring, indole group and phenyl residue of Tyr, Trp and Phe molecules, respectively, were oriented to the ring structure of Equ by hydrophobic interactions. Within the scope of the thesis, estrogenic hormones were detected sensitively in a short time by affinity-based interactions in the QCM nanosensor system. The QCM nanosensor was prepared by forming a self-assembled monolayer with 11-mercaptodecanoic acid (11-MUA) and then modified with the amino acids Tyr, Trp and Phe. In this thesis, the desorption mechanism of amino acids, unlike conventional QCM sensor systems, was investigated. The detection process was based on the amount of mass removed from the surface instead of the mass increase caused by the molecules attached to the quartz crystal surface. Affinity based interactions between Equ and amino acids were investigated both theoretically by molecular modeling and experimentally by real-time QCM measurements, and the results were compared. The lowest detection limit for Equ was obtained as 4.59, 5.05 and 6.30 ng/L for Tyr, Trp and Phe modified QCM nanosensor with linear dynamic detection in the 25-500nM range, respectively. It was found that Tyr and Trp modified QCM nanosensors had higher performance compared to Phe modified one, according to the changes in resonance frequency occurring in both the detection limit and QCM sensograms. Within the scope of the thesis, Equ analysis and molecular modeling of interactions with amino acids for the first time with QCM nanosensor will shed light on many studies to be done in this field.},

abstract = {Using Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), a series of functional surface coatings were investigated to establish the effects of surface structural and chemical properties on the adsorption characteristics of two model proteins, β-Lactoglobulin (β-Lg) and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA). We show that a free contact scenario, e.g., droplet, that is widely used to evaluate surface energy, is not always equivalent to biofouling conditions where the liquid phase is continuous - releasing the entrapped air from surface geometries could influence the interfacial adsorption process of biomolecules. We observed that surface structuration favoured adsorption of both proteins, especially for the protein of smaller size (β-Lg) as larger amounts of molecules would be required to fill surface geometries. Compact proteinaceous adlayers were observed on the coatings without structure, particularly those containing -CF3 ligands, suggesting stronger adhesion mechanisms due to conformational reorientations of both proteins to facilitate surface binding, especially BSA. In contrast, surface structure led to the formation of soft adlayers as the filling of surface cavities might affect protein conformation and favour protein superposition, hindering removal. We demonstrate how protein-surface binding affinity and packaging density of adsorbed proteins can be modulated as a synergistic effect of surface chemistry and structure, which is of especially importance to the development of anti-fouling coatings.},

abstract = {Biomarkers-based QCM-biosensors are suitable tools for the label-free detection of infectious diseases. In the current study, a QCM-biosensor was developed for the detection of HBsAg. Briefly, anti-HBsAg antibodies were covalently bound to the primary amines after PEI and thiolated-PEI surface modifications of gold-electrode. After RSM optimization, the statistical analysis revealed no significant difference between the immobilization yields of modified layers. Therefore, the PEI-modified QCM-biosensor was selected for further analysis. The PEI-surface was evaluated by FESEM, AFM, ATR-FTIR, and CA measurement. The surface hydrophilicity and its roughness were increased after PEI-coating. Also, FTIR confirmed the PEI-layering on the gold-surface. RSM optimization increased the antibody immobilization yield up to 80%. The QCM-biosensor showed noteworthy results with a wide dynamic range of 1–1 × 103 ng/mL, LOD of 3.14 ng/mL, LOQ of 9.52 ng/mL, and detection capability in human-sera, which were comparable with the ELISA. The mean accuracy of the QCM-biosensor was obtained at 91% when measured by the spike recovery test using human-sera. The biosensor was completely regenerated using 50 mM NaOH and 1% SDS. The benefits provided by the developed biosensor such as broad dynamic range, sensitivity, selectivity, stability, regenerate ability, and low cost suggest its potential application for the non-invasive and timely monitoring of HBV-biomarker.},

abstract = {Transport diffusivity of molecules in a porous solid is constricted by the rate at which molecules move from one pore to the other, along the concentration gradient, i.e. by following Fickian diffusion. In heterogeneous porous materials, i.e. in the presence of pores of different sizes and chemical environments, diffusion rate and directionality remain tricky to estimate and adjust. In such a porous system, we have realized that molecular diffusion direction can be orthogonal to the concentration gradient. To experimentally determine this complex diffusion rate dependency and get insight of the microscopic diffusion pathway, we have designed a model nanoporous structure, metal-organic framework (MOF). In this model two chemically and geometrically distinct nanopores are spatially oriented by an epitaxial layer-by-layer growth method. The specific design of the nonporous channels and quantitative mass uptake rate measurements have indicated that the mass uptake is governed by the interpore diffusion along the direction orthogonal to the concentration gradient. This revelation allows chemically carving the nanopores, and accelerating the interpore diffusion and kinetic diffusion selectivity.},

abstract = {Smart cities are getting essential to drive economic growth, increase social prospects and improve high-quality lifestyle for citizens. To meet the goal of smart cities, Information and Communications Technology (ICT) have a key role. The application of smart solutions will allow the cities to use ICT and big data to improve infrastructure and services (i.e. network efficiency, protection from contamination, etc.). In the water sector, the integration of smart meters and sensors coupled with cloud computing and the paradigm of “divide and conquer” introduces a novel and smart management of the water network allowing an efficient online monitoring and transforming the traditional water networks into modern Smart WAter Networks (SWAN). The Ctrl+SWAN (Cloud Technologies & ReaL time monitoring+Smart WAter Network) Action Group (AG) was created within the European Innovation Partnership on Water, in order to promote innovation in the water sector by advancing existing smart solutions. The paper presents an update of a previous work on the state of the art on the best On-line Measuring Sensors (OMS) already available on the market and innovative technologies in the Research and Development (R&D) phases.},
