Two PVCs with different molecular weights (HIGH and LOW) and distinct plasticizers were evaluated. Results demonstrated that membranes plasticized with dibutyl sebacate, a linear plasticizer, exhibited high sensitivity (0.0239 mV/pX) and repeatability, achieving a lower limit of detection (LOD = 4.31 × 10⁻⁵ M) compared to those with a bulky plasticizer. Specifically, HIGH PVC combined with a linear plasticizer provided saturation-free measurements, ensuring greater accuracy in tartaric acid quantification. This research underscores the impact of plasticizer selection on sensor optimization, enhancing accuracy and reliability in food quality control. By establishing the relationship between PVC structure and plasticizer type, this study contributes to advancing sensor technology for improved food safety and quality assessment.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":426,"journal":{"name":"Sensors and Actuators Reports","volume":"9 ","pages":"Article 100301"},"PeriodicalIF":6.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143334065","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}

Under the control of an acoustic field, particles and cells are trapped on either side of the microbubble. The microbubble is then removed to enable interaction between the trapped particles and cells. The impact of channel geometry on bubble stability is quantitatively investigated to optimize the device's performance.

The focus shifted to monitoring a vital biomarker for thyroid diseases using a metal-containing nanozyme, showcasing high potential to catalyze the oxidation of phenolic compounds. Thanks to the active sites of Cu@CD nanozyme, the electrocatalytic oxidation of hydroquinone (HQ), as a signal probe, was performed at a high rate. The CuO nanostructures also increased the conductivity as well as specific surface area of electrode.
