Abstract 3D-printing technology is widely accepted as a scalable and advanced manufacturing procedure for the fabrication of electrodes electrochemical applications. 3D-printed carbon-based can be used analysis, replacing conventional carbon electrodes. However, bare electrode exhibits poor performance. Herein, post-treatment was carried out using catalytically active materials to improve their...

A nanostructural hydroxyapatite (HA) coating was deposited to the porous Ti6Al4V acetabular cup implants using a room temperature electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process in order to achieve the improved bonding strength between the implants and cells, fast healing, good corrosion resistance and long-term stability after implantation. The micropores created in the coating will improve the bioac...

P. Pokorný, D. Dobiáš, M. Vokáč – Czech Technical University – Klokner Institute, Prague, Czech Republic This paper evaluates the effect of initial corrosion damage to the surface of the hot dip galvanized steel coating in fresh concrete on its final bond strength. The tests were performed on uncoated and hot-dip galvanized ribbed reinforcements. The measurement of bond stress (τm) according to...

Single walled carbon nanotubes were functionalized with different functionalities by simple dip coating. This fast and reproducible procedure was realized with nanotube coated electrodes for the construction of polyvalent biosensors. Three different pyrene derivatives were attached to the nanotube sidewalls by π-stacking interactions in a one-step reaction.

Supramolecular organic ferroelectrics have unique properties related to plasticity and freedom of design but the extensive post-deposition treatments that are typically required achieve saturation polarization limit their applicability. A possible solution is pre-align molecules. Here, effect dip-coating on pre-alignment prototypical supramolecular ferroelectric trialkylbenzene-1,3,5-tricarboxa...

Superhydrophobic coatings have a huge impact in various applications due to their extreme water-repellent properties. The main novelty of the current research work lies development cheap, stable, superhydrophobic and self-cleaning with water-repellency. In this work, composite hydrothermally synthesized alumina (Al2O3), polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) polystyrene (PS) was deposited on glass surf...
