Transforming 3D-printed mesostructures into multimodal sensors with nanoscale conductive metal oxides

Nanoscale Transparent Conductive Oxides

Immobilization of nanofibrous metal oxides on microfibers: a macrostructured catalyst system functionalized with nanoscale fibrous metal oxides.

Nanofibrous LaMnO(3) can be immobilized on macrostructured materials using carbon nanofibers as templates; their application as macro-nanostructured catalysts are also presented.

Halving the Casimir force with conductive oxides.

The possibility to modify the strength of the Casimir effect by tailoring the dielectric functions of the interacting surfaces is regarded as a unique opportunity in the development of micro- and nanoelectromechanical systems. In air, however, one expects that, unless noble metals are used, the electrostatic force arising from trapped charges overcomes the Casimir attraction, leaving no room fo...

The present review (with 231 references) focuses on developments made in the area of screen-printed biosensors and sensors for the determination of metal ions in industrial, environmental and biomedical applications. The year 2012 represents the twentieth anniversary of the first reported application of screen-printed electrodes for the determination of metal ions. Focus is placed on fabricatio...

Flexible Piezoresistive Sensors Embedded in 3D Printed Tires

In this article, we report the development of a flexible, 3D printable piezoresistive pressure sensor capable of measuring force and detecting the location of the force. The multilayer sensor comprises of an ionic liquid-based piezoresistive intermediate layer in between carbon nanotube (CNT)-based stretchable electrodes. A sensor containing an array of different sensing units was embedded on t...
