Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to sensors for measuring an amount of a gaseous species in a sample. The sensors comprise a gas permeable polysiloxane network membrane, comprising both alkyl and fluorinated alkyl groups. In some embodiments, the polysiloxane network can be formed from the co-condensation of a mixture of an alkylalkoxysilane and a fluorosilane. The presently disclosed subject matter also relates to methods of making the sensors, methods of selectively measuring an amount of a gaseous species, such as nitric oxide, in a sample, and to compositions comprising the polysiloxane networks.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a liquid crystal display device includes preparing a lower substrate and an upper substrate; depositing a sealant on one of the two substrates; dropping a liquid crystal on one of the two substrates; bonding the two substrates to each other; bonding the two substrates to each other by hardening the sealant; and thermal quenching the two bonded substrates. Since thermal quenching of the two bonded substrates is additionally performed after hardening of the sealant is performed using a liquid crystal dropping method, orientation of a liquid crystal layer, which is scattered by the hardening of the sealant, is returned to its original state, thus preventing domain defects.
