Dependence of the Interfacial Adhesion between Two Different Types of Material on their Electron Work Function and Electrical Conductivity
DownloadFall 2021
We observed and investigated a novel interfacial phenomenon related to the dependence of interfacial bonding or adhesive force (Fad) between two substances on the difference in their Electron Work Functions (EWF) or Δφ, and developed a model to quantify such a dependence. First, using...

Fabrication of an organic electrochemical transistor for the detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 in liquid samples
DownloadFall 2022
Aguilar Vallejo, Angelica Isabel
Escherichia coli O157:H7 is an enterohaemorrhagic bacteria which produces Shiga toxins 1 and 2; this strain is responsible for several outbreaks due to contaminated food and water. In order to prevent future outbreaks and maintain the public safe from infections, different microbiological...
