The biological sensing interface on the active area of a piezo transducer is responsible for the sensitivity, specificity, reusability, and reproducibility of these devices. Among the approaches used to functionalize piezo transducers, mixed self-assembled monolayers (MSAMs) are one of the most successful, given that they allow the obtaining of semi-crystalline molecular arrays and the arrangement of a bioreceptor on the surface. But, to deploy MSAMs on a substrate effectively, one must optimize and characterize the structural ratio between them and the bioreceptor. In this paper, we developed a molecular model of the interaction between Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and MSAMs-functionalized gold substrates. First, we evaluated the conditions for the functionalization of the substrates and found that a 50:1 16-mercaptohexadecaonic acid (MHDA) to 11 mercapto-1-undecanol (MUA) ratio produced the best features on the surface. We also evaluated the specific conditions to immobilize BSA on MSAMs (using the afore-established ratio) via Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), and then on a 10[Formula: see text]MHz quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and with the data obtained we concluded that a structural ratio of 0.005 (MSAM/BSA) is obtained when 1[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]M MHDA and 200[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]g/mL BSA were used, provided the most suitable conditions for the functionalization of a piezo transducer.

Abstract Background Trunk-boring pests (TBPs) are an important type of forest pest, TBPs not only feed on the branches and trunks of trees, but also spread quarantine diseases in forests. However, because the larvae of TBPs live inside the trunk and are well concealed, prevention and control are difficult. The lack of effective control methods leads to the death of many trees in forests. In this study, a novel nanopesticide featuring high bioactivity and slow-release properties was developed to control TBPs. Thiacloprid (THI), which is commonly used to control Coleoptera species, was used as a model pesticide. Results The oleophobic properties of bovine serum albumin (BSA) were exploited to encapsulate the hydrophobic pesticide THI by self-assembly, and the size of the obtained nanoparticles, THI@BSA·NPs, was approximately 23 nm. The loading efficiency reached 70.4%, and THI@BSA·NPs could be released continuously for over 15 days, with the cumulative release reaching 93.5%. The fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-labeled nanoparticles were evenly distributed in the digestive tract and body surface of a typical TBPs, M. alternatus, and the stomach and contact toxicities increased by 33.7% and 25.9%, respectively, compared with those of free THI. Furthermore, the results showed that the transport efficiency of THI@BSA·NPs was highest at a concentration of 50 μg/mL, and the THI@BSA·NPs content in the trunk, from to lower to higher layers, was 8.8, 8.2, 7.6, and 5.8 μg/g. At the same time, THI@BSA·NPs also exhibited high transport efficiency in dead trees. Conclusion The transport efficiency and toxicity of the active ingredients are the key factors for the control of TBPs. This work provided idea for the application of biological delivery system encapsulated hydrophobic pesticides. The novel self-assembled THI@BSA·NPs have promising potential for sustainable control of TBPs.
