Electroactive controlled release thin films.
We present the fabrication of nanoscale electroactive thin films that can be engineered to undergo remotely controlled dissolution in the presence of a small applied voltage (+1.25 V) to release precise quantities of chemical agents. These films, which are assembled by using a nontoxic, FDA-approved, electroactive material known as Prussian Blue, are stable enough to release a fraction of their...
متن کاملMultimonth controlled small molecule release from biodegradable thin films.
Long-term, localized delivery of small molecules from a biodegradable thin film is challenging owing to their low molecular weight and poor charge density. Accomplishing highly extended controlled release can facilitate high therapeutic levels in specific regions of the body while significantly reducing the toxicity to vital organs typically caused by systemic administration and decreasing the ...
متن کاملAcoustically Triggered Disassembly of Multilayered Polyelectrolyte Thin Films through Gigahertz Resonators for Controlled Drug Release Applications
Controlled drug release has a high priority for the development of modern medicine and biochemistry. To develop a versatile method for controlled release, a miniaturized acoustic gigahertz (GHz) resonator is designed and fabricated which can transfer electric supply to mechanical vibrations. By contacting with liquid, the GHz resonator directly excites streaming flows and induces physical shear...
متن کاملLayer-by-layer thin films and microcapsules for biosensors and controlled release.
We present an overview of the preparation and properties of layer-by-layer (LbL) deposited thin films and microcapsules in relation to their use in the development of biosensors and controlled release systems. Enzyme biosensors can be constructed by immobilizing enzymes on the surface of electrodes by LbL deposition without loss of their catalytic activity. In addition to synthetic polymers, ...
متن کاملAn electroactive fiber optic chip for spectroelectrochemical characterization of ultra-thin redox-active films.
The first, fully integrated, planar fiber optic platform with spectroelectrochemical capabilities, termed the electroactive fiber optic chip (EA-FOC) is presented here. Spectroelectrochemical techniques provide complementary optical and electrochemical data which are important for applications ranging from thin film characterization to advanced sensor design. To create the EA-FOC a side-polishe...
