Our investigation evaluates the efficiency of these surfaces in both capturing water from fog and condensing water from dew. For fog collection two parameters were the most impactful: the roughness and the wettability contrast between hydrophilic and hydrophobic zones. In contrast, dew condensation was influenced by additional parameters notably the patterns' size and density that directly affect the water contact angle. It is worth noting, however, that the optimal surface for fog collection may not necessarily coincide with the most effective surface for dew condensation.

For establishing flexible arrays of strain sensors in Wheatstone bridge configurations structures on different levels within flexible films have to be connected by robust μ-via technology. Usually, dry etching is used to establish via-holes and direct current (DC) electrodeposition is used to fill them with copper. However, dry etching can lead to damages in the underlying electrode or incomplete removal of polymeric material, as inhomogeneities of polymeric foil thicknesses cannot completely be eliminated. This affects the quality of the plating and the reliability of the μ-via connections. It is aggravated by the fact that DC electroplated copper is often weakened by various defects, such as small voids. This article describes a reliable and less complex fabrication process for a Wheatstone bridge sandwich structure consisting of five polymer interlayers separating four metal layers. The femtosecond-laser μ-via drilling proved to be fast, material selective and therefore tolerant to inhomogeneities of polymeric foil thicknesses. Moreover, pulsed current (PC) electrodeposition significantly improved the quality of the copper filling. No voids were found using electron microscopy. Finally, the respiration monitoring sensors produced using this method were subjected to repetitive cycles of bending and relaxation. At a frequency of five cycles per second, reproducible cycles of signal changes were obtained, indicating the usefulness for detecting respiratory cycles of premature infants.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37111,"journal":{"name":"Micro and Nano Engineering","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100252"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590007224000157/pdfft?md5=36f574491110d65f5414a3f6e29f78e9&pid=1-s2.0-S2590007224000157-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140638400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we clarify effects of the structural designs of the Au-based micro-cantilevers on their <em>E</em><sub>eff</sub> by experiments and finite element analyses (FEA) simulations. The <em>E</em><sub>eff</sub> of the Au micro-cantilevers having Ti/Au multi-layered structures is evaluated by resonance frequency method, which demonstrates the key structural parameters affecting their <em>E</em><sub>eff</sub>. The FEA calculations show a consistent trend with that observed in the experimental results.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":37111,"journal":{"name":"Micro and Nano Engineering","volume":"23 ","pages":"Article 100249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2590007224000121/pdfft?md5=9023396f9b43780109efb15a52677e42&pid=1-s2.0-S2590007224000121-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140342104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
