Role of the diffusion boundary layer in the molecular imprinting of PFAS in poly(ortho-phenylenediamine) toward improving MIP-based sensors
The rate of electrosynthesis of molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) impacts the imprinting efficiency of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), as shown by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) sputter depth profiling (SDP).

Formation dynamics of patchy/Janus DNA condensates in monodisperse giant vesicles generated using microfluidics
The one-step formation of uniform patchy or Janus-type DNA condensates within monodisperse giant vesicles was demonstrated for homogeneous production of artificial cells with hierarchical structures.
Paper
Real-time detection and classification of PFAS using dynamic behaviors at liquid–liquid interfaces
Rapid detection and classification of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are important for monitoring their concentrations at potential contamination sites due to their severe impact on environmental and health safety.
