The effect of mass loading on the phase velocities of the surface acoustic wave dispersion
modes in the Me/ZnO/Me/diamond piezoelectric layered structure as a function of frequency …

We show the theoretical and experimental combination of acoustic and optical methods for
the in situ quantitative evaluation of the density, the viscosity, and the thickness of soft layers …

The interface between the sample and the transducer surface is critical to the performance of
a biosensor. In this work, we compared different strategies for covalent self-assembly of …

Novel thermo-sensitive zwitterionic ABC-type triblock copolymers poly (ethylene glycol)-
block-[2-(methacryloyloxy) ethyl] dimethyl (3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium hydroxide-block-poly …

We study the use of polymer gratings as light couplers into porous silicon planar
waveguides for sensing applications. Experimental evidence of a guided mode in a grating …

This study presents an improved kinetics for the formation of self-assembled monolayers
(SAMs) of thiols on gold substrates. Based on predictions of a computational model …

This study describes the development of an immunosensory label-free quantification
methodology based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and its applicability in …

Passive wireless transducers are used as sensors, probed by a RADAR system. A simple
way to separate the returning signal from the clutter is to delay the response, so that the …

We theoretically investigate surface acoustic waves with horizontal polarization (SH-SAWs)
propagating in a three-layer system consisting of an elastic substrate and two viscoelastic …

Nanopatterning of biomolecules on functionalized surfaces offers an excellent route for
ultrasensitive protein immobilization, for interaction measurements, and for the fabrication of …
