This study aimed to develop a low-density polyethylene-based multilayer active packaging film with three layers. The core layer was an active layer containing pumice and potassium permanganate, while the skin layer was the barrier layer impregnated with sodium chloride. The multilayer film showed an ethylene scavenging capacity of 1.6 μmol/(25 in) within 8 d at 25 °C and was endowed with water absorption capacity. In addition, the oxygen and water vapor permeability of the multilayer film were improved in comparison to the neat one. Further, the multilayer film extended the shelf life of avocado from less than 10 d to 16 d at 25 °C, controlled ethylene and carbon dioxide concentrations, and caused a reduction in the loss of flesh firmness and weight. More importantly, according to migration testing, active agents in the core layer would not migrate to avocado peel, which ensured that avocados would not be contaminated.

An integrated magnetoimpedance (MI) biosensor microfluidic magnetic platform was proposed for the evaluation of the cardiac marker, cardiac troponin I (cTnI). This bioanalyte evaluation platform mainly comprised three external permanent magnets (PMs), one MI element, two peelable SiO film units and a microfluidic chip (MFC). The MI element was made of micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS)-based multilayered [Ti (6 nm)/FeNi (100 nm)]/Cu (400 nm)/[Ti (6 nm)/FeNi (100 nm)] thin films and designed as meander structures with closed magnetic flux.

Organic multilayer systems, which are stacked layers of different organic materials, are used in various organic electronic devices such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field-effect transistors (OFETs). In particular, OFETs are promising as key components in flexible electronic devices. In this study, we investigated how the inclusion of an insulating tetratetracontane (TTC) interlayer in ambipolar indigo-based OFETs can be used to alter the crystallinity and electrical properties of the indigo charge transport layer.

High contact resistance remains the primary obstacle that hinders further advancements of organic semiconductors (OSCs) in electronic circuits. While significant effort has been directed toward lowering the energy barrier at OSC/metal contact interfaces, approaches toward reducing another major contributor to overall contact resistance - the bulk resistance - have been limited to minimizing the thickness of OSC films. However, the out-of-plane conductivity of OSCs, a critical aspect of bulk resistance, has largely remained unaddressed.
