ESSAY TOPIC
Critically review the use of porous silicon in electrochemical biosensing. Identify biological targets, where more uniform pore architectures would be of advantage and devise routes based on soft nanotechnology to achieve such sensors. Would those devices be of interest for commercial applications, given their potential performance and use cases?
WORD COUNT
1500 words excluding references.
The essay should entail:
The bigger context of the engineering challenge described.
Alternative approaches currently employed.
Remarks on the underlying fundamental principles of soft nanotechnology
that may be used to solve the challenge.
Advantages and limitations of the presented engineering solution compared
to the state-of-the-art.
Feasibility of the identified solution towards widespread adoption in industry.
Important notes:
It is important to engage with the topic in a critical and well-informed manner.
An adequate and up-to-date choice of relevant literature is of utmost
importance. It is important that you reflect critically on available options and
provide context to potential solutions.
References and acknowledgements are required for the use of external
content (e.g. graphics from literature etc).
