Nanofilm Low Cost Oxygen Sensors

The resitivity change of ultra thin metals under air exposure is used for vacuum or inert gas packaging control. In order to reach low cost, single use applications, few nm thin Aluminum layers were deposited on PET substrates and combined with wireless electronic readout circuitry.The sensor respose is characterized by resistance changes and explained in terms of multiphase diffusion mechanisms which are very sensitive to technological parameters.     

Hollow Polydimethylsiloxane Beads with a Porous Structure for Cell Encapsulation

Based on a water‐in‐oil‐in‐water emulsion system, porous and hollow polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) beads containing cells using a simple fluidic device with three flow channels are fabricated. Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) in the PDMS oil phase is served as a porogen for pore development. The feasibility of the porous PDMS beads prepared with different PEG concentrations (10, 20, and 30 wt%) for cell encapsulation in terms of pore size, protein diffusion, and cell proliferation inside the PDMS beads is evaluated. The PDMS beads prepared with PEG 30 wt% are exhibited a highly porous structure and facilitated fast diffusion of protein from the core domain to the outer phase, eventually leading to enhanced cell proliferation. The results clearly indicate that hollow PDMS beads with a porous structure could provide a favorable microenvironment for cell survival due to the large porous structure.

Two Thiourea-based Colorimetric Sensors for Anions: Structure and Binding Study

Two colorimetric thiourea-based chemsensors with two relatively rigid arms, 2A and 2B, were synthesized. Their binding abilities with halide anions, AcO^?, [Formula: See Text] were studied by UV-Vis spectroscopy in DMSO. The two sensors showed a notable selective color response to F^? anion from colorless to green-yellow in recognition. The structures of the two sensors and their binding behaviors are discussed. The association constants were calculated by nonlinear fittings of 1:1, 1:2 or 1:1 to 1:2.

Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Discharge for Polysiloxane Thin Films Deposition and Comparison with Low Pressure Process

An atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier plasma discharge has been used to study a thin film deposition process. The DBD device is enclosed in a vacuum chamber and one of the electrodes is a rotating cylinder. Thus, this device is able to simulate continuous processing in arbitrary deposition condition of pressure and atmosphere composition. A deposition process of thin organosilicon films has been studied reproducing a nitrogen atmosphere with small admixtures of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) vapours. The plasma discharge has been characterized with optical emission spectroscopy and voltage-current measurements. Thin films chemical composition and morphology have been characterized with FTIR spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements. A strong dependency of deposit character from the HMDSO concentration has been found and then compared with the same dependency of a typical low pressure plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition process.     

A Critical Overview of Sensors for Monitoring Polymerizations

The available on‐line and in‐line sensor technologies developed for polymerization reactors from 1990 until today are discussed and critically reviewed. About 600 references are included, which evidence the growth in sensor technology in the last two decades. Sensors for operational parameters in polymer reactors (i.e. temperature, pressure, level and flow) as well as sensors for polymer property monitoring (i.e. calorimetry, chromatography and spectroscopy, among others) are included. Complementary topics such as state estimation, multivariate statistical methods, fault diagnosis techniques and optimal sensor selection and location are briefly covered.

A Telemetry-Instrumentation System for Long-Term Implantable Glucose and Oxygen Sensors

Abstract

This paper describes the development of a compact, low power, implantable system for in vivo monitoring of oxygen and glucose concentrations. The telemetry-instrumentation system consists of two amperometric sensors: one oxygen and one glucose biosensor and two potentiostats for biasing the sensors, an instrumentation amplifier to subtract and amplify sensor output signals, and a signal transmitter subunit to convert and transmit glucose dependent signal from the sensors to a remote data acquisition system. The system produces a unipolar glucose dependent voltage in the range of 1 to 3.6 V which is converted to a frequency and then transmitted using a frequency-modulated (FM) oscillator. Initial tests were performed on an open model electronic circuit using resistors to simulate sensor outputs in the 10 to 1000 nA range. Further in vitro evaluation of the system was conducted with a compact printed circuit board embedded in silicone elastomer, entirely submerged in buffer solution using actual sensors. The test results indicated satisfactory operation of the system in simulated implantation conditions for seven days. Response curve of transmitted signal vs glucose concentration was obtained. The results of the in vitro evaluation of the telemetry system permits its subcutaneous implantation in an animal model.

A Tutorial on Fiber-Optic Chemical Sensors

This experiment illustrates the value of using NMR spectroscopy to study geometric isomers, and the synthetic utility of the trans effect in inorganic reaction mechanisms. The syntheses of cis- and trans-diamminedichloroplatinum(II) are carried out on a small scale, using both ¹⁴N and ¹⁵N ammine ligands. Students use ¹⁹⁵Pt and ¹⁵N NMR spectroscopies to study the coordination complexes prepared. The ¹⁹⁵Pt chemical shift is indicative of the metals coordination environment. Furthermore, the ¹⁹⁵Pt-¹⁵N coupling constant is sensitive to the nature and geometry of the ligands bound to the metal, and this is also explored.     

简易恒压装置

制备Cl2、HCl、CO,SO2等气体时,通常需要加热,采用常见的装置,由于在反应加热过程中,气体受热膨胀,瓶内压力较高（大于常压）,使分液漏斗中的溶液难以滴加。我们改进后的装置很好地解决了这个问题。装置改进的原理是:利用导管（玻管或橡皮管）,将分液漏斗上端与蒸馏烧瓶连通,构成一个简易恒压装置,使漏斗液面压力与瓶内压力相等。分液漏斗中的溶液在反应加热过程中便可顺利滴加。这里我们介绍三种连接方法:1.利用“T”型管（即三通管）连接,如图1,2.利用医用大号注射针头连接,如图2。
