Ultrathin coatings of fluorosilane films for silicon and polydimethylsiloxane PDMS nanochannels are desirable to control the hydrophobicity of the surface and reduce or prevent undesired protein adsorption or cell interactions critical for the performance of most biomedical micro/nanodevices. Surface modifications using vapor-phase deposition become increasingly important for some biomedical na...

The effective and simple long-term storage of complex functional proteins is critical in achieving commercially viable biosensors. This issue is particularly challenging in recently proposed types of nanobiosensors, where molecular-motor-driven transportation substitutes microfluidics and forms the basis for novel detection schemes. Importantly, therefore, we here describe that delicate heavy m...

This article presents the fabrication and characterization of ultra violet (UV) photosensor, which utilizes the semiconducting properties of single ZnO nanorod. We report a study on the ZnO nanorods synthesized by an aqueous solution route in a hydrothermal reactor. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, optical and electrical studies. Our cost-effective ...

Controlled regulation of the switchable behavior of the supramolecular network is central to the potential application in the molecular scale nanodevices. In this work, it is reported that the reversible accommodation of the guest molecules in the nanoporous supramolecular network can be regulated by the UV/visible light. The nanoporous complex template of TCDB/4NN-Macrocycle(trans,trans,trans,...
