    Abstract: The present application provides a method for the rapid, catalyst-free, preparation of silicone elastomers using aminoalkylsilicones and aliphatic aldehydes that can dissolve in water at a concentration of at least 2 wt.%, in air or under water. The elastomers prepared by this method have good hydrolytic stability and can be used as hydrophobic adhesives or sealants under water.

    Abstract: Described is an approach that takes advantage of rolling circle amplification (RCA) and an RNA-cleaving DNAzyme (RCD) to achieve massive signal amplification for biosensing via a cross-feedback mechanism. An RCA reaction generates copies of an RCD that triggers a reaction cascade designed to generate additional DNA assemblies for RCA. These cross- feedback actions work autonomously to turn limited molecular recognition events into massive amounts of DNA amplicons that can be conveniently detected. This approach was demonstrated for biosensing of a microRNA sequence and a bacterium.

    Abstract: An all-solution electrode fabrication process is provided, The process comprises the steps of: i) preparing and activating a shrinkable polymer substrate for deposition of a conductive film; ii) modifying the substrate to incorporate a linker; iii) immobilizing particles of a conductive material on the linkers of the substrate to form a conductive film on the substrate; and vi) heating the modified substrate to a temperature sufficient to cause contraction of the polymer substrate and to result in micro- and/or nano-texturing in the conductive film. The process advantageously yields a novel multi-scale electrode device comprising a polymer substrate; and a textured electro- conductive film linked to the substrate.
