“…The change in resonance frequency, ΔF, is associated with a change in wet mass, whereas the change in dissipation is related to the viscoelastic properties of the adsorbed layer. 31 For rigidly and uniform adsorbed layers, the frequency change is directly proportional to the mass oscillating with the crystal, Δm (ng cm −2 ), as expressed by the Sauerbrey equation. 32…”

Polylactide (PLA) is viewed as a potential material to replace synthetic plastics (e.g., poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)) in food packaging, and there have been a number of developments in this direction. However, for PLA to be competitive in more demanding uses such as the packaging of oxygen-sensitive foods, the oxygen permeability coefficient (OP) needs to be reduced by a factor of ∼10. To achieve this, a layer-by-layer (Lbl) approach was used to assemble alternating layers of montmorillonite clay and chitosan on extruded PLA film surfaces. When 70 bilayers were applied, the OP was reduced by 99 and 96%, respectively, at 20 and 50% RH. These are, to our knowledge, the best improvements in oxygen barrier properties ever reported for a PLA/clay-based film. The process of assembling such multilayer structures was characterized using a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring. Transmission electron microscopy revealed a well-ordered laminar structure in the deposited multilayer coatings, and light transmittance results demonstrated the high optical clarity of the coated PLA films.

“…The experimental AFM and QCM-D results are supported by molecular dynamics (MD) simulations 5 of dyes adsorbed on the (101) facet of anatase TiO 2 immersed in acetonitrile solvent. [25][26][27] The simulations provide atomic-level insight into the density-dependent changes in the arrangement of the adsorbed Z907 molecules.…”

This review comprises the last decade's development on experimental techniques for electrochemical and electromechanical sensing of nucleic acids, which originate from pathogenic bacteria, parasites, and viruses commonly found in food, water, and medical context. The electrochemical devices that are of primary interest are those that use voltammetry for detecting DNA and RNA-associated electrochemically active molecules at the working electrode. Attograms of nucleic acids have been reported to be detectable with electrochemical sensors in a batch-mode measurement arrangement. The masssensing electromechanical devices sense nucleic acids at the femtogram levels in a flow format without a molecular technique for amplifying target strand using polymerase chain reaction. Both underlying physics and methods of various studies are summarized, with discussion on limitations and potentials. We call attention to the need for sensors that not only detect but also confirm detection, as false negatives are not acceptable when one measures pathogenic species.
