“…Determination of c through gravimetric methods on thin films is generally conducted on films several hundred nanometers thick to determine the bulk polymer solvent interaction deconvoluted from substrate and surface effects [61]. While attractive and repulsive surface interactions in brushes have been studied [45], the impact of surface effects cannot be decoupled from brush grafting density as the overlap and extension of chains at higher grafting density can mitigate an attractive surface.…”

“…Physicochemical factors affecting the polymer film thickness include, in addition to temperature, volatile compound vapors such as water and organic solvents [9]. The developed monolithic optical cantilever device is applied in the present work for the in-situ monitoring of these vapors without the need of external optical components.…”

The cantilever based devices relying on optical beam steering, even though sensitive as sensors, have rather limited penetration to the market. The obstacle that has prevented so far the wider spread of such devices is the inability to monolithically integrate the photonic components on the same die with the cantilever. In this work, a novel microsystem is presented comprising integrated Si light sources and detectors self aligned to suspended Si 3 N 4 cantilevers, acting as waveguides, all monolithically integrated in the same Si chip through conventional microelectronics processing. The cantilever is coated with a polymeric film that selectively absorbs analyte molecules from the environment causing a change in the film stress and commensurate cantilever's deflection which is monitored as change in the photocurrent. The PMMA coated device showed detection of VOCs, in a wide concentration range from few tens of ppm, limited only by the physicochemical properties and the chemical affinity of the polymer used.
