Nanopatterning of photonic crystals with a photocurable silica–titania organic–inorganic hybrid material by a UV-based nanoimprint technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
UV patternable high refractive index inorganic–organic hybrid materials prepared by sol–gel process can be nanoimprinted in order to get photonic crystal nanopatterns. Non-hydrolytic sol–gel process can make a UV curable and relatively high refractive index hybrid material, which can be cured without a significant shrinkage for nanoimprinting. Sol–gel process of heterogeneously functionalized silicon alkoxides can make the organically modified inorganic Si–O–Ti network very well. The UV-based nanoimprint technique utilizes transparent templates and UV curable high refractive index materials to allow pattern replication at room temperature and very low pressure. UV-based nanoimprint technique is an efficient way to fabricate this sort of polymeric photonic crystal nanostructures.

Photocatalytic Coating Using Titania-Silica Core/Shell Nanoparticles
The photocatalytic coatings were prepared via incorporating the modified titania nanoparticles into epoxy-based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings. Titania nanoparticles were first synthesized from tetra-n-butyl titanate using sol-gel methods by two different calcination treatments, i.e., in mild condition (80°C) and 500°C. The formed anatase nanoparticles were further modified as Titania-Silica...
