Perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) film-based microelectrode arrays were fabricated in monolithic structure with pretreatment of plasma on the surface followed by patterning gold electrode array without additional adhesion metal layer. The encapsulation of patterned fluoropolymer layer was thermally laminated at the temperature of under its melting point, interleaved between Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) sheets which indicate formation of micro-corrugated pattern. The fabricated device was optically opaque, however, transparent in solution due to the diffraction of light. Packaged substrate was easily processable with focused ion beam laser machine in high resolution. According to excellent reliability, PFA based micro gold electrode can be applied in a variety of biomedical application such as artificial retina, neural sensors with chronic implantation.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to characterize the morphological and immunological aspects of biointegration at the optic-cornea joint of a second-generation synthetic corneal device.
Methods: The initial prototype, single-piece optic-skirt configuration, is constructed from compact and flexible perfluoroalkoxy alkane with porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) overlying the skirt to allow skirt-cornea biointegration. The second-generation version was modified to add ePTFE around the optic wall to allow optic-cornea biointegration.

The accurate liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis of phosphorylated isomers from glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways is a challenging analytical problem in metabolomics due to extraction problems from the biological matrix, adherence to stainless steel surfaces leading to tailing in LC, and incomplete separation of hexose and pentose phosphate isomers. In this study, we present a targeted HILIC-ESI-MS/MS method based on a BEH amide fully porous 1.7 μm particle column with an inert surface coating of column hardware and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) acquisition fully covering the glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway metabolites.

The proliferation of small electronic devices has significantly increased the demand for self-powered sensors. This study introduces a triboelectric frequency sensor (TFS) that combines the frequency-responsive characteristics of triboelectric nanogenerators with a simple one-dimensional structure for sustainable vibration measurement. This sensor is specifically designed to aid in the tuning of string instruments, capable of detecting frequency responses up to 330 Hz generated by string vibrations.

Superhydrophobic coatings are increasingly recognized as a promising approach to enhancing power generation efficiency and prolonging the operational lifespan of wind turbines. In this research, a durable superhydrophobic perfluoroalkoxy alkane (PFA) coating was developed and specifically designed for spray application onto the surface of wind turbine blades. The PFA coating features a micronano hierarchical structure, exhibiting a high water contact angle of 167.

Organic peroxy radicals (ROO) are key oxidants in a wide range of chemical systems such as living organisms, chemical synthesis and polymerization systems, combustion systems, the natural environment, and the Earth's atmosphere. Although surfaces are ubiquitous in all of these systems, the interactions of organic peroxy radicals with these surfaces have not been studied until today because of a lack of adequate detection techniques. In this work, the uptake and reaction of gas-phase organic peroxy radicals (CHOO and i-CHOO) with solid surfaces was studied by monitoring each radical specifically and in real-time with mass spectrometry.
