Description du projet : Depuis le milieu des années 90, la progression irrésistible du marché de la téléphonie mobile a accoutumé la majorité des consommateurs à l'utilisation quotidienne d'appareils « nomades ». Si le marché principal reste la téléphonie mobile (plus de 400 millions d'appareils vendus dans le monde en 2003), l'intérêt des consommateurs accroît désormais également les ventes d'ordinateurs portables, d'assistants personnels, d'appareils photo numériques, de lecteurs MP3, etc. Les améliorations des performances des sources d'énergie, des dispositifs de stockage et des techniques de gestion de la consommation accompagnent les besoins énergétiques croissants des équipements nomades. Du fait de cette évolution, l'énergie embarquée fait l'objet d'importants travaux de recherche dans tous les domaines (transports, objets portables, appareils nomades, équipements autonomes, moyens spatiaux, etc.) et concerne de nombreuses technologies : électrotechnique, informatique, électronique, micro et nanotechnologies, chimie et matériaux énergétiques, etc. Le projet que nous proposons concerne la réalisation de fonctions de service dont l'importance est primordiale dans la mise en 'uvre des systèmes électroniques développés dans la HES-SO. Ces fonctions entrent à part entière dans la réalisation de solutions. De ce fait, ce type d'activité est spécifique des « universités des métiers » que sont les HES.

Zusammenfassung:

Electrical signaling is a fundamental mechanism for integrating environmental stimuli and coordinating responses in living organisms. While extensively studied in animals and plants, the role of electrical signaling in fungi remains a largely underexplored field. Early studies suggested that filamentous fungi generate action potential-like signals and electrical currents at hyphal tips, yet their function in intracellular communication remained unclear. Renewed interest in fungal electrical activity has fueled developments such as the hypothesis that mycorrhizal networks facilitate electrical communication between plants and the emerging field of fungal-based electronic materials. Given their continuous plasma membrane, specialized septal pores, and insulating cell wall structures, filamentous fungi possess architectural features that could support electrical signaling over long distances. However, studying electrical phenomena in fungal networks presents unique challenges due to the microscopic dimensions of hyphae, the structural complexity of highly modular mycelial networks, and the limitations of traditional electrophysiological methods. This review synthesizes current evidence for electrical signaling in filamentous fungi, evaluates methodological approaches, and highlights experimental challenges. By addressing these challenges and identifying best practices, we aim to advance research in this field and provide a foundation for future studies exploring the role of electrical signaling in fungal biology.

Zusammenfassung:

Conductive hydrogels are of interest for highly flexible sensor elements. We compare conductive hydrogels and hydrogel foams in view of strain-sensing applications. Polyvinyl alcool (PVA) and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT:PSS) are used for the formulation of conductive hydrogels. For hydrogel foaming, we have investigated the influence of dodecylbenzenesulfonate (DBSA) as foaming agent, as well as the influence of air incorporation at various mixing speeds. We showed that DBSA acting as a surfactant, already at a concentration of 1.12wt%, efficiently stabilizes air bubbles, allowing for the formulation of conductive PVA and PVA/PEDOT:PSS hydrogel foams with low density (<400 kg/m3) and high water uptake capacity (swelling ratio > 1500%). The resulting Young moduli depend on the air-bubble incorporation from mixing, and are affected by freeze-drying/rehydration. Using dielectric broadband spectroscopy under mechanical load, we demonstrate that PVA/PEDOT:PSS hydrogel foams exhibit a significant decrease in conductivity under mechanical compression, compared to dense hydrogels. The frequency-dependent conductivity of the hydrogels exhibits two plateaus, one in the low frequency range, and one in the high frequency range. We find that the conductivity of the PVA/PEDOT:PSS hydrogels decreases linearly as a function of pressure in each of the frequency regions, which makes the hydrogel foams highly interesting in view of compressive strain-sensing applications.

Zusammenfassung:

Electrospinning of two bio-sourced polymers, suitable for edible food packaging applications, chitosan, as well as pullulan, is investigated in view of large area fiber mat production. The fiber shape and dimensions were measured using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, for various process parameters using rotating disc electrodes. An electrospinning pilot production system was designed for the fabrication of large area nanofiber and microfiber mats, using a drum collector electrode together with controllable lateral needle motion. System tests were performed using polyethylene oxide. Finally, large area fiber mats of pullulan were produced. The system is promising for the development of edible, bio-sourced packaging applications.

Zusammenfassung:

Flexible electrodes play an increasing role for medical applications, such as ECG (electrocardiography) or TENS (Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) due to comfort in use and thus their suitability for health monitoring under movement and during sport. Polymers, such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), are promising for the development of fabrication methods and materials for such application cases, as stable flexible thin polymer membranes can be produced at large scale. We have compared different up-scalable fabrication techniques of thin electrode membranes based on PVDF as a function of silver nanowire concentration, using electrospinning, spincoating, and drop-casting techniques. The produced thin films and membranes and thin films were investigated by electrical four-point probing, optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, as well as by stability tests under bending, and water exposure. We show, that a combination of electrospinning and spin-coating presents a reliable method for the fabrication of AgNW-PVDF based flexible nanofiber membrane electrodes (NMEs). Our nanofiber membrane electrodes (NMEs) exhibit a 10 times lower sheet resistance than AgNW-PVDF thin film electrodes (TFEs) produced for comparisons by a combination of spincoating and drop-casting using the same amounts of AgNWs. Upon immersion in water for up to 48 hours, we do not detect any nanowire release or decomposition of the fabricated electrodes, which is promising in view of application of the AgNW-PVDF composite electrodes in humid environment.

Zusammenfassung:

Conductive polymers are promising for application in the medical and sport sectors, e.g. for thin wearable health monitoring systems. While many today’s electrodes contain either carbon or metals as electrically conductive filler materials, product design manufacturing has an increasing interest in the development of metal free and carbon free, purely polymer based electrode materials. While conducting polymers have generally rather low electrical conductivities compared to metals or carbon, they offer broad options for industrial processing, as well as for dedicated adjustments of final product properties and design aspect, such as colour, water repellence, or mechanical flexibility in addition to their electrical properties. The development of electrically conducting polymer blends, based on conductive polymers is thus timely and of high importance for the design of new attractive flexible electrodes. We have developed material formulation and processing techniques for the fabrication of self-supporting thin film electrodes based on polyaniline (PANI) and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) blends. Electrical four-point probing was used to evaluate the electrode conductivity for different processing and fabrication techniques. Optical microscopy and atomic force microscopy measurements corroborate the observed electrical conductivity obtained even at low PANI concentrations revealing the nanoscale material distribution within the blends. Our self-supporting thin film electrodes are flexible, smooth, and water repellent and were furthermore successfully tested under bending and upon storage over a period of several months. This opens new perspectives for the design of metal free and carbon free flexible electrodes for medical, health, and sports applications.

Zusammenfassung:

This paper reviews dynamic light scattering (DLS) of gold nanoparticle-protein interactions for the model protein bovine serum albumin (BSA), as well as in complex biofluids, at the example of mouse serum. DLS data of nanorods of various aspect ratio, of proteins and of mouse serum are discussed in terms of the analysis of their hydrodynamic radii, leading to the distinction of rotational and translational motion as well as to the detection of agglomerates. We address in particular advances obtained by modulated 3D cross correlation dynamic light scattering and recent progress using the CORENN algorithm for analysis of DLS data.

Zusammenfassung:

Copper-Octaethyl Porphyrin self-assembly has been studied on NaCl islands, 1–3 monolayers thick, grown on metal substrates. Extended ordered molecular monolayers are observed for the first time on ultrathin insulator films. The assembly occurs in hierarchical fashion, starting on the metal substrate, then followed by assembly on the first and second NaCl layers, clearly demonstrating a decrease in adsorption energy for increasing insulator layer thickness. The underlying mechanisms are discussed on the basis of molecule–substrate interactions. Voltage-dependent STM images reveal differences of the electronic structure for molecules adsorbed on metal and NaCl/metal areas.

Zusammenfassung:

The affordable and reproducible creation of nanoscale functional material layers is a key desire towards the progressing miniaturization of devices and the continuous increase of data storage densities. While top-down structuring costs are exploding, the self-assembly [1] of dedicated building blocks in functional molecular layers provides an alternative to produce structures in the few nanometer range. Several different approaches, exploit characteristic materials properties for this purpose: A) the dedicated assembly of two dimensional molecular layers on prepatterned surfaces provides the basis for structural transitions involving only some hundred molecules. These transitions can be reversibly triggered by an electric field. [2] B) The complex balance of inter-molecular interactions with adsorbate-adsorbent interactions provides the basis for tuning the assembly. Long range ordering is a crucial requirement to match self-assembled functional devices with top-down manufactured methods for addressing and operation. [3] C) Using larger molecular entities and conformational flexure [4], even larger periodicity functional arrays can be manufactured by extending site blocking mechanisms to nearest neighbour interactions. [5] D) By a hierarchical two step approach, i.e. the initial assembly of a specific host-layer and the second step assembly of molecular guests upon this host layer, a wealth of new molecular properties is achievable in extended supra-molecular layers. [6] All these new supra-molecular self-assembled systems offer a valid alternative toward the fabrication of reproducibly identical and addressable “molecular switches” which are impossible to achieve by using established lithographic methods.

Zusammenfassung:

The surface or bulk origin of the optical anisotropies detected by reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy (RAS) at GaAs(001)(2 × 4) surfaces has been extensively investigated in the last years and a quite general agreement has been reached that the dominating character would be bulk‐like. Nevertheless, a very recent paper [F. Arciprete et al., Phys. Rev. B 69, 081308(R) (2004)] has again issued the presence of surface states contributions in optical anisotropies, revealing a structure at 2.5 eV due to surface states, in addition to the well known features around 2.9 eV and 4.5 eV related to the bulk critical points E1 and E0′. We have carried out a new experiment to prove this conclusion by following the changes in the optical anisotropy of a GaAs(001)(2 × 4) surface in the range 2.0–5.0 eV induced by Ag/Sb‐codeposition. The interface Ag/GaAs(001) is known to be not reactive. Due to its surfactant effect, codeposition of Sb leads to a nearly epitaxial growth of the Ag overlayer. We show that at the early stages of deposition (nominally at 0.25 monolayer) an evident modification of the RAS spectrum is detected at 2.5 eV, well below the photon energy (2.9 eV) where bulk‐like anisotropies appear. We relate this modification to the disappearance of surface states characteristic of the (2 × 4) reconstruction, in excellent agreement with previous conclusions and experiments.

Zusammenfassung:

We studied the electronic structure of copper−octaethylporphyrin (CuEOP) adsorbed on three metal surfacesAg(001), Ag(111), and Cu(111)by means of ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). The adsorption-induced work function shifts saturate roughly beyond two monolayers. The saturation values are substrate dependent, negative, and range from −1.30 to −0.85 eV. This shift is larger than that for tetraphenylporphyrins. The two highest occupied molecular orbitals (HOMO and HOMO-1) of the organic are clearly resolved in the UPS spectra. The origin of the negative work function shift is discussed.

Zusammenfassung:

Considerable progress has been made recently, using scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM), scanning tunnelling spectroscopy (STS) and local density functional theory (DFT), in examining the atomic structure and electronic properties of ultrathin insulating films. This article reviews pertinent results to date with special emphasis on ultrathin MgO films on Ag(001) surfaces. Using STS, the layer-by-layer resolved electronic structure up to 3 ML shows that the band gap of about 6 eV at the MgO surface develops within the first 3 ML confirmed by local density of states (LDOS) calculations. Using model calculations, the atomic species observed in STM on the MgO film are unambiguously identified. These results underline the importance of a combination of local spectroscopy, scanning probe techniques and local density of states calculations for the understanding of matter on the microscopic level.

Zusammenfassung:

The optical properties of indium islands on GaAs(001) surfaces have been studied by reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy as a function of metal coverage. A large optical anisotropy is observed, which shows an oscillatory behavior and scales with the island size: mean island sizes determined by scanning electron microscope correspond to the wavelengths where extremes in the optical anisotropy arise. We explain this behavior by surface plasmon resonances of the island structure which induce a huge optical anisotropy related to the anisotropic shape and distribution of the In islands. Model calculations of the reflectance anisotropy spectroscopy signal based on a layer system where the island film is represented by an effective medium consisting of ellipsoidal metal particles in a vacuum matrix reproduce the main oscillation and support our conclusion.

Zusammenfassung:

The electronic structure and morphology of ultrathin MgO films epitaxially grown on Ag(001) were investigated using low-temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy. Layer-resolved differential conductance ( dI/dU) measurements reveal that, even at a film thickness of three monolayers, a band gap of about 6 eV is formed corresponding to that of the MgO(001) single-crystal surface. This finding is confirmed by layer-resolved calculations of the local density of states based on density functional theory.

Zusammenfassung:

Scanning tunneling microscopy at low temperature reveals that upon dissociative adsorption of oxygen on Ag(001) “hot” adatoms have separated in a far-ranged transient motion to two different intrapair distances around 2 and 4 nm, corresponding to 7 and 14 surface lattice constants, respectively. Manipulation experiments on oxygen atoms displaying different contrasts in the images and model calculations suggest that the transient motion ends up not only in the stable fourfold hollow site but also in two metastable sites.

Zusammenfassung:

Oxygen molecules on Ag(0 0 1), adsorbed at about 60 K, are found to form two-dimensional c(2×4) compact islands. We determine binding site and orientation of the molecules within the superstructure by comparing experimental and calculated scanning tunneling images in combination with molecular dynamics simulations. The molecule adsorbs in the thermodynamically stable fourfold hollow site with its molecular axis in the direction of short periodicity of the superstructure. Rehybridization of 1π and 2π orbitals on adsorption is at the origin of the observed image contrast.

Zusammenfassung:

Size-selected Si30 and Si39 clusters produced by a laser vaporization cluster source are deposited on the Ag(111) surface at room temperature and at liquid-nitrogen temperature respectively. Subsequently, the sample is transferred at low temperature (120 K) in a separate mobile ultrahigh vacuum chamber (vacuum-suitcase) from the cluster source to a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). Soft landing of the supported clusters is indicated by the following observations: (i) atomic-resolution images taken at low bias voltages show transparent Si clusters and an unperturbed Ag(111) substrate; (ii) manipulation experiments on the supported clusters and subsequently taken atomic-resolution images show a defect-free Ag(111) surface. In spite of the fact that the clusters are mass-selected in the gas phase, a statistical analysis of the STM images indicates a finite size-distribution on the support. This finding is attributed to the presence of different isomers and/or cluster orientations on the surface.

Zusammenfassung:

The influence of antimony as surfactant on the growth mode of indium on GaAs(001) has been investigated for deposition at various temperatures. Clean surfaces of (2 × 4) reconstruction were prepared in UHV by thermal desorption of a protective arsenic cap deposited on top of homoepitaxially grown MBE layers. Before In deposition, 2 ML Sb were pre-deposited on top of the clean GaAs surface of part of the samples. The In growth mode was then monitored by AES and compared with that occurring during In growth on GaAs without an Sb interlayer. After removal of the samples from UHV, SEM investigations show regularly shaped, flat In islands oriented along the 〈110〉 substrate directions. In comparison, In islands grown without an Sb interlayer also show a preferential orientation along the 〈110〉 substrate directions, but differ in shape and size. Low-temperature In deposition (120 K) leads to the formation of a continuous In layer, which tears during warm up to room temperature. An exchange between surfactant material and indium during growth is found for both low- and room-temperature In deposition. X-ray diffraction measurements show a strong influence of the Sb surfactant on the crystallinity of the In film.

Zusammenfassung:

Flexible nanocomposites play an increasing role as electrodes and sensors in wearable electronics and sensing elements in health monitoring and sports applications. Graphene-based flexible polymer nanocomposites, as well as polymers with metallic nanowire fillers are promising materials in this context. However, anticipation of electrical properties of hybrid flexible materials based on nanofillers are generally complex, when considering also their frequency and voltage dependencies, which need to be taken into account for the design of electrode materials for dedicated applications. This study showcases at the example of graphene-based silicone hybrid nanocomposites, with and without silver nanowires, striking effects of the nanofiller concentration and composition on the resistive and capacitive contributions of the electrical properties of hybrid nanocomposites. Trends of their mechanical and electrical properties, as analyzed by compressive strain-stress analysis and electrical impedance spectroscopy are discussed.

Zusammenfassung:

Flexible nanocomposites play an increasing role as electrodes and sen-sors in wearable electronics and sensing elements in health monitoring and sports applications. Graphite- and graphene-based flexible polymer nanocomposites, as well polymers with metallic nanowire fillers are promising materials in this context. The electrical conductivity of those nanocomposites relies on the formation of a percolation network, providing conductive paths of the conductive filler material within the polymer matrix. Bending, stretching, and compression of the conductive nanocomposite materials becomes possible due to high flexibility of polymer matrix materials, which makes them interesting not only for the application as bendable electrodes for a broad range of health applications, such as electrophysiological signal monitoring or transcutaneous stimulations, but also as sensing elements in stretching or compressive operation modes. We present recent results on carbon- and silver-based flexible conductive nanocomposites, and discuss their fabrication techniques, as well as their mechanical and electrical properties as analyzed by electrical impedance spectroscopy.

Electrospinning of two bio-sourced polymers, suitable for edible food packaging applications, chitosan, as well as pullulan, is investigated in view of large area fiber mat production. The fiber shape and dimensions were measured using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, for various process parameters using rotating disc electrodes. An electrospinning pilot production system was designed for the fabrication of large area nanofiber and microfiber mats, using a drum collector electrode together with controllable lateral needle motion. System tests were performed using polyethylene oxide. Finally, large area fiber mats of pullulan were produced. The system is promising for the development of edible, bio-sourced packaging applications.

Zusammenfassung:

Flexible sensors play an increasing role in printed electronics and are of interest for optoelectronic applications in flexible robotics and industrial automation. Thus, we have investigated the hybrid inorganic-organic junction between ZnO and PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate). A thin ITO (indium tin oxide) layer on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foils was used as substrate electrode. ZnO was deposited from a nanoparticle (NP) suspension by electrophoretic deposition. For comparison, we have used three different methods for the deposition of PEDOT:PSS, namely (i) drop casting, (ii) dip-coating, (iii) inkjet printing. For the resulting ZnO-PEDOT:PSS junctions, current-voltage characteristics were recorded using miBot micromanipulators, and analysed applying adapted models of thermionic emission, according to Cheung and Cheung, as well as Norde. For dip-coated samples we obtained barrier heights of (0.78±0.01) eV and (0.73±0.02) eV, respectively, while inkjet printed and drop casted structures show smaller values (0.53 eV to 0.66 eV, respectively). Thus, dip-coating can be used for a rapid upper estimation of the ZnO-PEDOT:PSS barrier heights for developing inkjet printable optoelectronic sensors. When using low concentrated PEDOT:PSS suspensions, we observed negative photoresponse of the junction; this is consistent with the formation of a ZnO-NPs and PEDOT:PSS nanocomposite which we obtained on porous semi-transparent ZnO-NP films.

Zusammenfassung:

Protein-nanoparticle suspensions are nowadays widely studied for the development of medical and environmental biosensors. The complexity of interactions between nanoparticles and biological fluids, together with the increasing use of dynamic light scattering (DLS) for their characterization, support the need to develop common standards for DLS measurements and analysis, in order to enable a reliable comparison of measurement results. In this study, we use 3D cross-correlation Dynamic Light Scattering (3Dcc-DLS) for the characterization of gold nanoparticles (Au NP), with spherical and rod shape, stabilized with sodium citrate, and their interaction with bovine serum albumin (BSA). We show that for Au nanorods it is possible to distinguish the rotational and translational motion. Moreover, we monitor the interaction of Au NPs and BSA over time, in order to analyse the first step of protein corona formation. Our results show that Au nanorods interact more than Au nanospheres with BSA. From the evolution of the rotational and translational peaks we conclude that the proteins tend to bind on the long cylindrical side of the nanorods.

Zusammenfassung:

The deep biomedical knowledge reached in the past decades in many fields of medicine and biology has been accompanied by continuous technological progress in measurement instrumentation and analysis techniques. This development is important also to improve the characterization and the understanding of the interactions between nanoparticles and biological liquids, due to emerging applications such as drug delivery, bioimaging, biosensing, diagnostics and photothermal therapy. In this study, we characterize the interaction between mouse serum and gold nanoparticles (NPs) and nanorods (NRs) by Modulated 3D Cross-correlation Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), in order to demonstrate that this technique can be applied to the investigation of complex biological liquids. The analysis of the size distribution of the hydrodynamic radius reveals three different contributions from particles motion, associated to rotation, translation and agglomerates. Moreover, we show that the interaction between Au NPs or NRs and mouse serum depends on the aspect ratio of the Au particles. These results are promising for deepening the knowledge on proteins-nanoparticles interaction, for laboratory-based experiments as well as for sensing and diagnostic applications and nanoparticles based medical therapy.

Zusammenfassung:

Lasers are nowadays widely applied in additive manufacturing and several laser based techniques related to inkjet printing are emerging. In this paper, surface treatment of nanoparticle coatings using a commercial laser engraving machine are presented. Experiments were performed on (i) thin thermally cured silver nanoparticle coatings on glass and (ii) iron oxide (Fe 2 O 3 ) nanoparticle dispersion coatings on glass. The laser treatment on Ag films illustrates local melting or dewetting behavior dependent on laser power and on the density of engraving patterns. For Fe 2 O 3 coatings, direct laser writing on dried layers and laser treatment on fluid nanoparticle ink layers are investigated. We demonstrate and discuss in particular the generation of large area laser induced microstructures in vertically confined nanoparticle ink films. Controlled ink accumulation is generated by the laser pulses. Furthermore, 2D porous network structures, as well as laser induced large area filament structures are generated by heat driven capillary flow. Tailored adjustments of nanoparticle inks, film thickness and laser treatment patterns open perspectives for the generation of laser induced self-assemblies, e.g. for novel fabrication processes for 2D metamaterials, for sensor developments or advanced anti-counterfeit applications.

Zusammenfassung:

Printing and coating of magnetic inks is widely used in the field of magnetic barcode labels. Nanoparticle inks have gained increasing interest in the field of printed electronics. Controlling the transport of magnetic nanoparticle fluids by external magnetic fields is nowadays mainly applied in environmental and biomedical research, e.g. in order to transport functionalised magnetic particles for drug delivery, sensing, thermal cancer therapy, or for the extraction of pollutants in waste water cleaning. Application examples of field assisted nanoparticle assembly or fluid control in coating and printing, e.g. for the structural colour generation in photonics, are recently emerging. In this paper, we address the topic of field assisted patterning by the design of a versatile magnetic pattering and structuring platform for field assisted nanoparticle assembly and locally tailored pattern formation in printing and thin film coating. 2D finite element modelling for tailored magnetic field patterning, as well as experimental inkjet printing and coating results for Fe2O3 iron oxide nanoparticles on glass are presented and discussed. The developed print patterning technique is of interest for decorative and functional printing and coating, e.g. for further developments in the application field of smart security tags.

Zusammenfassung:

Dynamic light scattering (DLS) is a versatile tool for sizing nanoparticles (NPs) suspended in fluids. In this paper, we apply and discuss modulated 3D cross-correlation DLS and UV-vis-NIR transmittance spectroscopy for the study of commercial iron oxide NP aqueous suspensions (Fe3O4 and Fe2O3, with nominal average size 10 nm and < 30 nm, respectively) motivated by the aim to use them for the formulation of magnetic NP inks. By analyzing the particle size distribution with the LS Instruments’ CONTIN algorithm, we find that the predominant particle sizes in nanoparticle products can strikingly differ from the values that a user would typically expect according to the provided suppliers’ information. We thus highlight that for application fields of magnetic NPs, such as e.g. ink formulations for nanoelectronics, spintronics or printed electronics, and whenever the particle size matters, the purchase and use of NP materials needs detailed product information and investigation of particle size distributions. Our analysis as a function of NP concentration confirm that modulated 3D cross-correlation DLS can efficiently be used even at high NP concentrations (e.g. 1.17 g/mL Fe2O3 load) without further dilution.

Zusammenfassung:

With the development of nanoscience and nanotechnology, the application of nanoparticles is getting broader and interdisciplinary. For preparing engineering students to work in the increasingly interdisciplinary sectors of photonics, materials engineering, nanotechnologies, or health engineering, laboratory curricula or term project training in applied nanoscience is increasingly required. This article presents laboratory experiments for the higher education of photonics and other non-chemistry graduate students (postgraduates) or even undergraduates to be basically skilled with the synthesis, characterization and bio-applications of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs). The presented laboratory training experiments are based on low investment costs of instrumentation. The entire chain is illustrated from conventional reaction principles for Au NP synthesis, over optical characterization to practical operation in optical biosensors developments. Using myoglobin as a model protein, UV/vis absorbance experiments illustrate how to evaluate the amount of proteins that are adsorbed to the NPs. Potentially the synthesized NPs can be used to extract low-abundant proteins for bio-sensing application, or to remove excess proteins in samples with complicated background like sera. The designed experiments are suitable for laboratory project periods of two days, and extendable to weeks, or also to term projects under minor alteration.

Zusammenfassung:

Printing plasmonic nanoparticles is of interest e.g. in the fields of large area printing for photovoltaic applications, biomedical and photonic sensor developments, as well as for digital printing of security tags for smart packaging and anti-counterfeit applications. We have studied plasmonic gold nanoparticles embedded in printable PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate), a transparent hole conducting organic semiconductor material). Aqueous dispersions of chemically stabilized gold nanoparticles (e.g. 40 nm in diameter) were used as plasmonic nanoparticle additives for the nanocomposite coating materials and inks. Inkjet printing and spincoating experiments have been performed on glass substrates. The inkjet printed nanocomposite microstructures and thin film coatings were investigated by true non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM), 3D profilometry, optical microscopy. Absorbance spectroscopy was used to characterize the gold nanoparticle dispersions upon synthesis and encapsulation in comparison to commercial gold nanoparticles. AFM topography and phase contrast data reveal the domain structure of PEDOT:PSS, and indicate embedding of the nanoparticles within the transparent conducting polymer printed structures. Successive printing of the PEDOT:PSS ink and gold nanoparticle dispersions leads to the contrary to significant topographic contrasts in AFM and optical profilometry. Using the coffee stain effect, we generate inkjet printed plasmonic nanocomposite microstructures that are of potential interest for the application field of smart electrically conducting and plasmonic security tags.

Zusammenfassung:

Materials for transparent conductors are essential as electrodes e.g. in photovoltaics and flexible or printed organic electronics, as well as for transparent optoelectronic devices and circuits. A candidate to replace indium tin oxide in flat panel display and optoelectronic devices and circuits is the polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), a hole transport material widely used in organic electronic devices. We have studied the influence of two different additives, silver nanowires (AgNW) and graphene oxide (GO), on the electrical conductivity and optical transmittance using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as secondary dopant. For AgNW-PEDOT:PSS transparent conducting layers, the values of the figure of merit are significantly increased by DMSO doping. Hybrid GO-PEDOT:PSS films with low dopant concentration (GO 0.03 wt%) in combination with DMSO (5 vol%) exhibit a sheet resistance of 82.8 Ω/sq, a transmission of 87.9% at 550 nm, and an rms roughness of only 5.4 nm ± 0.3 nm. Thus, low concentration doping of PEDOT:PSS with GO together with DMSO provides an interesting alternative to the use of AgNW, e.g. (i) for applications where low layer roughness is required or (ii) for the manufacturing of transparent circuits and thin films by inkjet printing where nozzle clogging by high aspect ratio nanowires needs to be avoided.

Zusammenfassung:

Metal-based electrodes, despite being the most widely used for biomedical applications, are limited by a poor reliable skin-surface interface and patients suffer from comfort issues. The most common problems/inconveniences are caused by stiff electrodes, skin irritation, allergic reaction or corrosion. In order to overcome these problems, we produced and tested flexible electrodes involving biopolymer nanocomposite materials. Conductive polymers have been intensively studied and applied in the field of organic photovoltaics and flexible organic electronics. Recently, the use of conductive biopolymer nanocomposite has also emerged as an interesting and promising material for biomedical applications. In this study, we have designed and characterized electrodes made of a flexible and conductive nanocomposite material using a biocompatible and biodegradable polymeric matrix of poly (3- hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA, in particular poly (3-hydroxybutyrate), PHB) containing conductive nanowires. The biopolymer nanocomposites and their electrical conductivities were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electrical four-point probing. The electrical conductivities obtained in the different PHA-polymer nanocomposites containing different concentrations of conductive additives is discussed in relation to the nanocomposite structure at the microscopic level. Finally, our developed biopolymer nanocomposite prototype electrodes have successfully been tested for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and electrocardiography ECG applications in comparison to conventional electrodes.

Zusammenfassung:

In this paper we propose the use of underlying ITO/glass or ITO/PET electrode structures for reliable conductivity measurements of transparent organic thin films. This technique avoids any mechanical damage of the organic thin film and furthermore preserves its optical transparency. Thin PEDOT:PSS layers with various secondary dopant concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been studied. In particular, the degeneration under UV exposure has been investigated by electrical probing and atomic force microscopy. We find that the conductivity degeneration of PEDOT:PSS under UV exposure is reduced by a factor of two for the layers with DMSO doping.

The project brings together VET providers, higher education (HE) institutions, small and medium enterprises, professional organisations to assess future skills needs and promote business input into course design, as stated in the "New Skills for New Jobs" initiative and to develop special courses for upgrading knowledge in the sector of nanoelectronics technologies. Through job analysis the necessary knowledge, skills and competences in nanotechnology engineering were defined. Nine courses are designed by the best laboratory/department in the field which dispose with the necessary infrastructure and facilities for practical work. These are e-learning courses and m-learning performance support modules. Tests of the ECVET application to VET qualifications and recommendations how to enhance permeability and progression between VET and practiceoriented HE will be done during the pilot test.
