Abstract

We have examined coating PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3 0.63– PbTiO3 0.37 PMN-PT /tin and lead zirconate titanate PZT /glass piezoelectric microcantilever sensor PEMS with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane MPS by a simple solution method to electrically insulate the PEMS for in-water applications. In contrast to earlier methytrimethoxysilane insulation coating, the MPS coating also facilitated receptor immobilization on the sensor surface via bonding of its sulhydryl group to a bifunctional linker, sulfosuccinimidyl-4- N-maleimidomethyl cyclohexane-1-carboxylate. We showed that a MPS coating of 21 nm in thickness is sufficient to electrically insulate and provide immobilization surface to the PEMS for in-liquid electrical self-excitation and self-sensing. The in-phosphate buffered saline solution resonance spectra were stable with Q values ranging from 41 to 55. The mass detection sensitivities were determined to be 5 10−11 and 8 10−12 g/Hz for the MPS-insulated PZT-glass and PMN-PT/tin PEMSs, respectively.
