Contact lenses are most commonly used to correct blurry vision, but sometimes people wear different colored contact lenses just for fun. With Halloween approaching, people are quickly stocking up on red, black, or cat contact lenses to look even scarier. Researchers are currently working to integrate these small hydrogels into smart devices for color blindness treatment, wearable virtual displays, and drug delivery and non-invasive health monitoring. Below are some of the articles recently published in the journal ACS that report on the power of smart contacts and new ways to deliver drugs with them. Journalists may request free access to these documents by e-mailing newsroom@acs.org.

Fa'aola Mata tioata "Saogalemu, umi ma gafataulimaina o tioata fa'afeso'ota'i atamai" ACS Nano Setema 7, 2022 Ua fa'aalia e tagata su'esu'e e mafai e le kulukose i loimata ona fa'aola tioata fa'afeso'ota'i atamai.Na latou tu'u ni tama'i suau'u suau'u kulukose i le va o vaega o le hydrogel vaivai.O le tu'ufa'atasiga o le suau'u fa'atasi ma le tele o tioata e suia lanu na i'u ai i se fa'ata'ita'i fa'ata'ita'i e mafai ona iloa lelei ai loimata fa'afoliga e fa'atusaina ai le ma'i suka mai fa'atonuga.O le masini e manaʻomia lava ona faʻaititia i lalo ina ia faʻaaogaina i tioata faʻafesoʻotaʻi e maʻaleʻale le kulukose, o le tala lea a le au suʻesuʻe.
“Sule silicon felefele ma translucent e fai ma puna eletise mo tioata faʻafesoʻotaʻi atamai” ACS Applied Electronics Materials Aukuso 1, 2022 I lenei tusiga, fetuutuunai translucent solar cell ua mamanuina e faʻamalosia microelectronics ma elemene optoelectronic i tioata faʻafesoʻotaʻi atamai.Na faia e le au suʻesuʻe ni 15 micron-mafiafia silicon photovoltaic panels i arcs e ala i le faʻaofiina i totonu o tioata faʻapipiʻi.Faʻavae i faʻataʻitaʻiga moli i totonu ma fafo, na fuafua e le au suʻesuʻe o latou 25% ma le 50% manino o le la e mafai ona gaosia ai le 49.3 ma le 26.6 Jcm-2 o le malosi i le aso, e faʻaalia ai lo latou gafatia e faʻamalosia tioata faʻafesoʻotaʻi atamai.
Tu'uina atu o Fualaau Fa'asaina "Printed Metal-Polymer Conductors for Local Drug Delivery" Nano Letters Setema 19, 2022 O vaila'au fa'apitonu'u, e pei o mataua po'o suauu, e mafai ona sili atu ona faigofie ona ulufale i totonu o le tino e ala i le fa'aogaina o le eletise i le lotoifale.I le fa'aogaina o lenei metotia e togafitia ai mata ma le pa'u, na lolomi ai e le au su'esu'e ni fa'ameamea vai i luga o laupepa polydimethylsiloxane e mafai ona fa'aloloa ma fetu'una'i e fa'atusa i tioata fa'afeso'ota'i ma pa'u pa'u.I su'esu'ega a manu, o le fa'aogaina o lagona fa'aeletise i tioata fa'afeso'ota'i u'amea-polymer ua maua e fa'aleleia atili ai le a'afiaga o mata.

“Cpress-activated microfluidic contact lenses for eye drug delivery” ACS Applied Polymer Materials Setema 7, 2022 O le tele o faʻamaʻi mata e togafitia i mataua, ae emo ma loimata e vave ona fufulu ese.O lea ua atia'e ai e le au su'esu'e se fa'ata'ita'i tioata fa'afeso'ota'i atamai e mafai ona fa'asolo malie atu ai vaila'au i totonu o le mata.O tioata o lo'o i ai auala microfluidic curved ma micropumps e fa'agaoioia i le mamafa o laumata.Pe a fa'ata'ita'i le emo, o le tioata manino fetu'utu'una'i e fa'amatu'u mai se vai e pei o vaila'au i se faiga fa'atonutonu ma tumau e aunoa ma le mana'omia o mea fa'aeletonika.
