Near‐Infrared Light‐Driven Zn/Au Janus Micromotors for Multiplex SERS Detection of Anticancer Drugs

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Zn/Au Janus micromotors, propelled by thermophoretic effects under NIR light, function as active SERS platforms for single and multiplex detection of anticancer drugs. Their dynamic motion enhances analyte exchange at the Au interface, reducing saturation and competitive adsorption, thereby improving sensitivity and extending the linear detection range.

Formation of oxidation induced stacking sacrificial thinning of SIMOX materials

Proceedings of 1993 IEEE International SOI Conference, 2002
Sacrificial thermal oxidation of standard SIMOX is currently the main route to form ultra thin film SIMOX structures. During the oxidation process self interstitials are injected into the silicon overlayer and these point defects can lead to the growth of secondary defects, in particular oxidation induced stacking faults (OISF).

Nanoengineered Binetworks in Multifunctional Anionic Block Polymer Mesoblends for Improved Mechanical Properties

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Mesoblends consist of a nanostructured polymer into which a second polymer is imbibed with a selective solvent. In this work, a solvent‐templatable pentablock terpolymer possessing a sulfonated midblock is modified with a hydrophilic polymer that is photocrosslinked in situ, yielding a hierarchical binetwork.
