Highly ordered radially aligned microchannels are produced on the surface of polymer nanocomposite thin films via droplet evaporation. This simple, rapid, and cost-effective approach opens a new avenue for producing macroscopic surface patterns that have potential as scaffolds or substrates in the field of microelectronics or microfluidic-based biochips.

titanium nitride-copper (tin-cu) nanocomposite films were deposited onto stainless steel substrate using hollow cathode discharge ion plating technique. the influence of cu content in the range of 2-7 at.% on the microstructure, morphology and mechanical properties of deposited films were investigated. structural properties of the films were studied by x-ray diffraction pattern. topography of t...

1. CCTS and CCTS:CQD nanocomposites were successfully deposited. 2. Physical characteristics of synthesized thin films examined. 3. nanocomposite was used as a p-type layer in an inorganic thin-film solar cell. 4. The photoconversion efficiencies obtained for nanocomposite.

In this chapter we describe the preparation of polyimide thin films by physical vapour deposition and comment on their potential application as a pure material or a thin layer matrix for producing nanocomposite layers. Their superb properties, such as a low dielectric constant, high thermaland photo-stability, high chemical resistance and high optical transmittance predetermine their widespread...

the starch based films have some disadvantages such as weak mechanical and poor water barrier properties that restrict their applications in food packaging. in the present research, the polyvinyl alcohol (povh), as a compatible polymer, and montmorillonite (mmt) nanoclay, as a nanofiller, were added to plasticized starch film (ps) to improve its properties and also to produce ps-mmt-pvoh nanoco...

The observation of electron emission from amorphous carbon thin films at low applied electric fields is explained in terms of an enhancement of the field brought about by dielectric inhomogeneities within the film. These inhomogeneities originate from the differences between conductive, spatially localized sp C clusters surrounded by a more insulating sp matrix. By a more complete understanding...

The structure and mechanical properties of bio-nanocomposite films made from poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) that is physically cross-linked with silicate nanoparticles, Laponite, are investigated. Direction-dependent mechanical properties of the films are presented, and the effect of shear orientation during sample preparation on tensile strength and elongation is assessed. Repeated mechanical defo...
