用于伤口炎症检测的氟硅烷-氧化铜纳米线声表面波湿度传感器

Fluorosilane-Copper oxide nanowire surface acoustic wave humidity sensor for wound inflammation detection

  • 摘要: 伤口愈合过程中,创面微环境的湿度是反映其愈合状态的关键指标,实时监测伤口湿度状态对预防感染和炎症至关重要。为实现对伤口湿度的稳定监测,本研究设计了一种基于氧化铜(CuO)纳米线的声表面波(SAW)湿度传感器。针对伤口所处的弱酸性微环境,通过在CuO纳米线表面构建自组装疏水氟化层,有效阻隔氢离子侵蚀,显著提升了传感器的环境稳定性。实验表明,该传感器在高湿区间灵敏度达2.42 kHz/%RH,具有良好的重复性和超过14天的稳定性。经pH=4酸性缓冲液浸泡8小时后,传感器性能仅衰减0.94%,展现出优异的耐腐蚀能力。本研究为伤口炎症的实时监测提供了一种可靠的传感方案,也为声表面波传感器在生物医学检测中的应用提供了技术支撑。

     

    Abstract: During wound healing, the moisture level within the wound microenvironment serves as a key indicator of the healing status, making its real-time monitoring crucial for preventing infection and inflammation. To achieve stable monitoring of wound humidity, a surface acoustic wave (SAW) humidity sensor based on copper oxide (CuO) nanowires was designed. To ensure compatibility with the weakly acidic wound microenvironment, the CuO nanowires were functionalized with a self-assembled hydrophobic fluorination layer, which effectively shields them from H+ corrosion, thereby markedly enhancing the sensor's environmental stability. Experiments demonstrate that this sensor exhibits a sensitivity of 2.42 kHz/%RH in high-humidity ranges, along with excellent repeatability and stability exceeding 14 days. After 8 hours of immersion in a pH=4 acidic buffer solution, the sensor’s performance degraded by only 0.94%, showcasing outstanding corrosion resistance. This study provides a reliable sensing solution for real-time monitoring of wound inflammation and offers technical support for the application of surface acoustic wave sensors in biomedical detection.
