Artificial motors (robots) that are inspired by natural motors have captivated much attention with their attractive performances and special features. These miniaturized nano/micromotors have succeeded many important tasks in different fields including (bio)sensing, cargo transport, cell isolation and trapping, nanosurgery, gene therapy, and drug d...

In this present study, the preparation of chitosan functionalized gold‑nickel wire nanomachines (nanomotors) ([email protected] NMs) for motion-based double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (dsDNA) recognition and detection was described. Synthesis of the nanomachines was accomplished by Ni layer formation using direct current (DC) magnetron sputteri...

The synthesis and biomedical applications of nano/micromotors have attracted great attention. In this work, preparation and characterization of catalytic gold/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/platinum (Au/PEDOT/Pt) micromotors were reported to present their contribution for cancer biomarker miRNA-21 detection. Potential use of these motors for poss...

This work introduces improved performances of self-propelled tubular micromotors based on radio frequency (RF)–rotating plasma-prepared graphene oxide-poly(aniline) (GO-PANI), graphene oxide/poly(ethylaniline) (GO-PEANI), and graphene oxide/poly(fluoroaniline) (GO-PFANI) composites as outer layer and platinum (Pt) as the catalytic inner layer.

Functionalized micro/nanomotors having immobilized biological molecules provide excellent and powerful tools for the detection of target molecules. Based on surface modifications and mobilities of micromotors, we report herein a new experimental design of high-speed, self-propelled and plasma modified micromotors for biomedical applications. Within...

Self-propelled catalytic micromotors offer considerable promise in terms of many applications. Catalytic micromotors are strongly influenced by the presence and concentration of specific ions and chemicals in the environment, making them useful as sensors and actuators. In this work, copper (Cu)-platinum (Pt) micromotors were fabricated by using th...

Tungsten trioxide‐poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (WO3‐PEDOT) and tungsten trioxide‐polyfuran (WO3‐PFu) were prepared by rf rotating plasma polymerization. Electrochromic hybrid thin films were fabricated onto flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET)/ indium tin oxide (ITO) film using electron beam evaporation method. In order to deeply character...

Modification of W5O14 and MoS2 nanostructures was carried out using 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene monomer in a capacitively coupled, RF rotating plasma reactor.

Tungsten oxide (WO3) thin films were deposited onto flexible substrates using radio frequency magnetron sputtering for high electrochromic performance purposes. The effects of both non-aqueous electrolytes (lithium perchlorate (LiClO4), lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiTRIF)) and the electrochromic thickness layers on the electrochromic propert...

Operating at ambient pressure allows industry (such as textile industry) to move from batch to continuous processing and also facilitates much simpler equipment designs with reduced maintenance requirements due to the lack of vacuum pumps, seals, etc [1]. Recent advances in this technology have included the development plasma techniques which makes...

Vanadium oxide/poly (3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene)(V2O5-PEDOT) hybrid materials were prepared in a rotating quartz plasma reactor via capacitively coupled radio frequency (RF 13.56 MHz) plasma.
