AI Article Synopsis
- * The Ag nanoporous film showed a Raman response intensity 1.5 times higher than that of a commercial specimen, with effective detection limits as low as 0.1 picomole of Rhodamine 6G.
- * The Raman intensity peaked at a wave number of 1513/cm, indicating strong enhancement properties, making this Ag nanoporous film suitable for SERS applications.
Article Abstract
We have developed and characterized a highly manufacturable nanoporous Ag film using a custom-made sputtering system for a surface enhanced Raman scattering substrate for biosensors. The Raman response property of the Ag nanoporous thin film peaked at the same characteristic wavelength as a commercial specimen with an intensity that was 1.5 times higher. We also observed the characteristics of the Ag nanoporous films prepared in this study up to 10 picomole of Rhodamine 6G concentration and 1 picomole and 0.1 picomole using additional signal processing methods. The Raman intensity was at least 10 times higher than the intensity of the Ag nanoporous thin film itself, at densities of 4.3 × 10⁴ cps, 4.0 × 10⁴ cps, 2.9 × 10⁴ cps, and 1.4 × 10⁴ cps. The characteristic peak wavelength also differed. The Raman intensity peak was highest at a wave number of 1513/cm, regardless of the thickness of the Ag nanoporous film, and was found to have a large peak, in the order of 1364/cm, 1314/cm, 612/cm, and 1653/cm. Therefore, it can be confirmed that the Ag nanoporous thin film proposed in this paper can be used as a SERS substrate.

Research evidence has demonstrated a significant association between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and atrial fibrillation (AF), but the causality and pattern of this link remain unexplored. Therefore, this study investigated the causal relationship between HCM and AF using a two-sample and bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) approach. Additionally, this assessed the role of cardiovascular proteins (CPs) associated with cardiovascular diseases between HCM and AF by applying a two-step MR analysis.

With 3D printing technology, fiber-reinforced polymer composites can be printed with radical shapes and properties, resulting in varied mechanical performances. Their high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance are already advantages that make them viable for physical civil infrastructure. It is important to understand these composites' behavior when used in concrete, as their association can impact debonding failures and overall structural performance.

This review examines the recent advancements and unique properties of polymer-inorganic hybrid materials formed through coordination bonding (Class II hybrids), which enable enhanced functionality and stability across various applications. Here, we categorize these materials based on properties gained through complexation, focusing on electrical conductivity, thermal stability, photophysical characteristics, catalytic activity, and nanoscale self-assembly. Two major synthetic approaches to making these hybrids include homogeneous and heterogeneous methods, each with distinct tradeoffs: Homogeneous synthesis is straightforward but requires favorable mixing between inorganic and polymer species, which are predominantly water-soluble complexes.
