Miniaturized multilayer stretchable printed circuit boards are key for achieving high functional density circuits with minimal footprint. However, current microfabrication technologies struggle with simultaneously achieving tissue-like softness (<<1 MPa), high resolution and low sheet resistance. This study demonstrates a scalable printing method that enables ultra-soft (<0.4 MPa) stretchable conductors (>300% strain) with high-resolution (<2.5 µm width) and high aspect-ratio tracks (>1) connected by ultra-fine (20 µm) vertical-interconnect-access (VIA) for multi-layered configurations. The method is based on stencil printing into laser-defined bio-masks comprising the abundant biopolymer lignin, thereby achieving printing capabilities beyond conventional methods in a sustainable manner. Based on the unique capabilities, a miniaturized multilayer ultra-soft wireless near-field-communication temperature logger is developed. Laser-defined printing can pave the way for the next generation of ultra-soft miniaturized wearables.","PeriodicalId":228,"journal":{"name":"Small","volume":"49 1","pages":"e2501175"},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2025-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144146113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The key element of the platform is the colloidal Ag cavity prepared through a template-mediated method. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulation and molecular adsorption measurements indicate the increased electromagnetic field and the high surface area contribute to the high SERS sensitivity of the cavity-like silver aggregates. Moreover, the Ag cavity shows a long-term flow detection window in the microfluidic channel with high reproducibility (RSD = 3.72%). This platform is successfully used to monitor and analyze the photodegradation intermediates of the model antibiotics, indicating the promising practical applications.

A two-step laser-induced process controls the composite's properties, creating hierarchical, core-shell nanostructures and simultaneously tailoring surface energy and morphology for superhydrophilicity. This laser-engineered superwetting surface, combining increased surface area and low surface energy, amplifies aqueous droplet footprint diameter over fivefold, enabling picoliter-range electrical detection. The amounts and distribution of droplets can be analyzed using point-to-point optical Fourier translation analysis and classical statistics.

The structure of Bi-BDC-NH2 is confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) to consist of BiO9 nodes. The amount of 2-aminoterephthalic acid is varied to modulate the topology via competitive complexation and thus control the thermodynamic and kinetic nucleation products. Through regulating the ligand-to-metal ratio of H2BDC-NH2 to Bi, an appropriate balance of the thermodynamic-versus-kinetic structural \"trade-off\" is achieved. The fine topologies of Bi-MOFs are determined by single-crystal XRD, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray absorption fine structure. For the first time, it is reported that applying Bi-MOFs with varying topological structures as photocatalysts for removing nitric oxide (NO) demonstrates that the amorphisation improves the photogenerated charge separation efficiency and adsorption and activation of O2.
