Abstract

AbstractA novel trilayered (ceramic–metal–polymer) design for highly sensitive, thermally responsive microcantilever arrays is reported on p. 1157 by Tsukruk and co‐workers. In this design, the topmost nanocomposite layer, reinforced with carbon nanotubes and silver nanoparticles, acts as a strong thermal‐stress‐driven actuator to enhance conventional biomaterial performance. These polymer–metal–ceramic microcantilevers with enhanced (fourfold) thermal sensitivity may serve as a basis for the next generation of uncooled thermal microsensor arrays because of outstanding thermal and spatial resolution.
