Nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry for Quantifying Membrane Fouling: Fouling Layer Structure and Chemical Interaction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (Nano SIMS) is established as a powerful analytical tool to visualize and quantify the membrane fouling layers. ABSTRACT Membrane technology has garnered considerable attention for applications in wastewater treatment and resource recovery. Nevertheless, membrane fouling remains a major barrier, yet the lack of

On the Molecular Diffusion Dynamics Between Subcutaneous Tissue and Microneedles for Wearable Continuous Glucose Monitoring

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
In this study, we investigate the dynamics of glucose diffusion between subcutaneous tissue and hydrogel‐filled microneedles. Specifically, we examine how hydrogel thickness, microneedle size, and glucose concentration influence diffusion. This study provides an experimental reference to the wearable biosensor community researching microneedle‐based ...
