Research context and placement
Cu–SiO2 barrier/adhesion informs electronics foundations without establishing deformable routing or biofluid packaging.
Boundary case: assigned to the closest interface for navigation. Read the rationale and cross-links together; the primary theme does not delimit the study. Placement of foundational work does not establish direct bioelectronic application.
Research overview and key contributions
Coupled APTMS/MPA monolayers address copper diffusion and SiO2–Cu adhesion.
Diffusion-failure and bending-based adhesion tests address two interfacial requirements.
Open challenges
Semiconductor-stack results do not establish stretchable routing or biofluid encapsulation.
Comparison context
Match barrier thickness/coverage, field, temperature, stack and fracture locus.

- Main-text review scope
- Selected body discussion, copyright notice and complete selected-figure caption read in public author-hosted published PDF; selected figure visually inspected. Supplements not audited.
- Supplementary review scope
- Not read in this figure/correspondence pass; no complete SI audit claimed.
- Pending verification
- Reconcile cited test conditions, supplements and the publisher version in school Chrome. Full text and figures are not redistributed. This pass verifies figure rights and correspondence roles. Selected-body/abstract review does not establish completion of full methods and supplementary-material review. The paper is not a verified Jungmok Seo correspondence paper and is outside this deepening priority.
