Article Abstract
The overoxidized polypyrrole (PPyox) film as a template for DNA immobilization has been demonstrated in this paper. The DNA molecules inserted into the micropores of the ultrathin PPyox matrix under the driving forces of an electric field and were firmly immobilized on the carbon fiber electrode (CFE). Such a DNA-PPyox biocomposite layer exhibited more effective rejection of anionic ascorbate (AA) and uric acid (UA) and more preferential collection of the cationic dopamine (DA) and epinephrine (EP) than pure PPyox and DNA coatings. The DPV peak currents increased linearly with increasing DA and EP concentrations in the range of 3.0 x 10(-7) to 1.0 x 10(-5) M and 5.0 x 10(-7) to 2.0 x 10(-5) M with the lowest detected concentrations of 8.0 x 10(-8) M and 6.0 x 10(-8) M, respectively. The electrochemical signal of AA could be totally suppressed under a concentration of 20 mM and beyond this concentration, the overlapped responses of AA, DA/EP and UA could be resolved into three well-defined voltammetric peaks. The selectivity factors k(DA/AA) and k(EP/AA) were about 5000 and 2000 for an equal concentration in the presence of 0.5 mM UA. The properties of the biocomposite film have been characterized by atomic force microscopy and electrochemical investigations.

Carbon fiber nanotip electrodes (CFNEs) are crucial for electrochemical recordings of neurotransmission release in confined spaces, such as synapses and intracellular measurements. However, fabricating CFNEs with small surface area to minimize noise remains challenging due to inconsistent tip size control, low reproducibility, and low fabrication success rate. Here, we present a reliable, user-friendly method with high reproducibility and success rate for precise CFNE fabrication using microscopy-guided electrochemical etching of cylindrical carbon fiber microelectrodes in a potassium hydroxide droplet.

In this study, a novel bleaching method for ramie cellulose fibers with low oxidative damage was developed by utilizing the properties of sodium percarbonate contained in tea saponin, which slowly releases hydrogen peroxide in the catalytic oxidation system of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI). First, the bleaching process was optimized using response surface design, followed by comparison and characterization of fiber properties prepared under different bleaching systems. Finally, the energy consumption, water consumption, and toxicity of the NHPI/tea saponin system were evaluated.

Accurate brain signal recording and precise electrode placement are critical for the success of neuromodulation therapies such as deep brain stimulation (DBS). Addressing these challenges requires deep brain electrodes that provide high-quality, stable recordings while remaining compatible with high-resolution medical imaging modalities like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Moreover, such electrodes shall be cost-effective, easy to manufacture, and patient-compatible.

In this paper, we introduce a coarse-grained model of polymer crystallization using a multiphase-field approach. The model combines a multiphase-field method, Nakamura's kinetic equation, and the equation of heat conduction for studying microstructural evolution of crystallization under isothermal and non-isothermal conditions. The multiphase-field method provides flexibility in adding any number of phases with different properties making the model effective in studying blends or composite materials.

Fast Scan Cyclic Voltammetry (FSCV) is a widely used electrochemical technique to detect rapid extracellular dopamine transients . It employs carbon fiber microelectrodes (CFMEs), but conventional 7 µm diameter CFMEs often suffer from limited mechanical durability and reduced lifespan, hindering their use in chronic monitoring. To improve mechanical robustness and long-term functionality, we fabricated 30 µm diameter CFMEs and modified their geometry via electrochemical etching to form cone-shaped tips.
