The distribution of high-viscosity microfilms in designated regions is crucial for the performance and durability of MEMS devices. This paper presents a novel method for controllable film formation in the milli/micron region by blade coating. A microfilm can be formed without viscosity limitation, and the formation process can be monitored only via a one-dimensional force sensor. The dynamics of the blade-coating process are analyzed in detail. The experimental results indicate that the initial height of the blade gap is the determining factor of film thickness, whereas the film length can be adjusted individually by the scratching speed without influence on film thickness. Moreover, the tangential force varies obviously in different coating parameters while exhibiting a similar trend.

Antibiotic residue detection plays an important role in protecting human health, but real-time, rapid, and highly sensitive detection is still challenging. Herein, gold and silver nanoparticles (Au-Ag NPs) were grown on the surface of optical fibers and a 50 nm thick gold film was deposited on the sensor's surface to fabricate the Au-Ag@Au fiber SPR sensor. The sensitivity of the sensor reached 3512 nm per RIU in the refractive index range of 1.

Localized Nanopore Fabrication in Silicon Nitride Membranes by Femtosecond Laser Exposure and Subsequent Controlled Breakdown.

Controlled breakdown has emerged as an effective method for fabricating solid-state nanopores in thin suspended dielectric membranes for various biomolecular sensing applications. On an unpatterned membrane, the site of nanopore formation by controlled breakdown is random. Nanopore formation on a specific site on the membrane has previously been realized using local thinning of the membrane by lithographic processes or laser-assisted photothermal etching under immersion in an aqueous salt solution.

A volatile heteroleptic open ruthenocene has been synthesised and characterised by NMR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Using this compound as a precursor and oxygen as a co-reactant, a highly conductive Ru film has been deposited on Si with native oxide at 220 °C. Under the same deposition conditions, the film thickness obtained with the new compound has almost doubled compared to its homoleptic analogue.

This study aimed to fabricate edible films from tapioca (T) and potato (P) starch, assessing their physicochemical properties and biodegradation across different ratios (T100P0, T70P30, T50P50, and T30P70). The films underwent evaluation for moisture content, thickness, water vapor permeability, and color values. T100P0 and T30P70 formulations exhibited the highest film transparency at 43.
