Cantilever-based sensors have attracted considerable attention in the recent past due to their enormous and endless potential and possibilities coupled with their dynamic and unprecedented sensitivity in sensing applications. In this paper, we present a technique that involves depositing and vaporizing (at ambient conditions) a particle-laden water droplet onto a defined sensing area on in-house fabricated and commercial-based silicon microcantilever sensors. This process entailed the optimization of dispensing pressure and time to generate and realize a small water droplet volume (Vd = 49.7 ± 1.9 pL). Moreover, we monitored the water evaporation trends on the sensing surface and observed total evaporation time per droplet of 39.0 ± 1.8 s against a theoretically determined value of about 37.14 s. By using monodispersed particles in water, i.e., magnetic polystyrene particles (MPS) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and adsorbing them on a dynamic cantilever sensor, the mass and number of these particles were measured and determined comparatively using resonant frequency response measurements and SEM particle count analysis, respectively. As a result, we observed and reported monolayer particles assembled on the sensor with the lowest MPS particles count of about 19 ± 2.

The flow of nanofluid between infinite parallel plates suspended by micro-cantilever sensors is significant. The analysis of such flows is a rich research area due to the variety of applications it has in chemical, biological and medical sciences. Micro-cantilever sensors play a significant role in accurately sensing different diseases, and they can be used to detect many hazardous and bio-warfare agents. Therefore, flow water and ethylene glycol (EG) composed by γ-nanoparticles is used. Firstly, the governing nanofluid model is transformed into two self-similar nanofluid models on the basis of their effective models. Then, a numerical method is adopted for solution purposes, and both the nanofluid models are solved. To enhance the heat transfer characteristics of the models, the effective Prandtl model is ingrained in the energy equation. The velocity F’(η) decreases with respect to the suction of the fluid, because more fluid particles drags on the surface for suction, leading to an abrupt decrement in F’(η). The velocity F’(η) increases for injection of the fluid from the upper end, and therefore the momentum boundary layer region is prolonged. A high volume fraction factor is responsible for the denser characteristics of the nanofluids, due to which the fluids become more viscous, and the velocity F’(η) drops abruptly, with the magnetic parameters favoring velocity F’(η). An increase in temperature β ( η ) of Al2O3-H2O and γAl2O3-C2H6O2 nanofluids was reported at higher fraction factors with permeable parameter effects. Finally, a comparative analysis is presented by restricting the flow parameters, which shows the reliability of the study.
