An absorptive metasurface based on film-coupled colloidal silver nanocubes is demonstrated. The metasurfaces are fabricated using simple dip-coating methods and can be deposited over large areas and on arbitrarily shaped objects. The surfaces show nearly complete absorption, good off-angle performance, and the resonance can be tuned from the visible to the near-infrared.

Stable nanoparticles dispersions of the porous hybrid MIL-101(Cr) allow dip-coating of high quality optical thin films with dual hierarchical porous structure. Moreover, for the first time, mechanical and sorption properties of mesoporous MOFs based thin films are evaluated.

This paper presents the microstructure, optical and electrical properties of zinc oxide nanorodlike structures deposed on glass substrate by dip-coating method. The crystalline phases and morphology of 1-D nanostructured materials have been investigated using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The UV-VIS-NIR spectra and the electrical properties were also measu...

There is a growing interest in fibers supporting optoelectrical properties for textile and wearable display applications. Solution-processed electroluminescent (EL) material systems can be continuously deposited onto fiber or yarn substrates in a roll-to-roll process, making it easy to scale manufacturing. It is important to have precise control over layer deposition to achieve uniform and reli...

We report the synthesis of hybrid thin films based on Poly(MethylMethAcrylate) (PMMA) and Poly(VinylAlcohol) (PVA), doped with different concentrations titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs). As-prepared (PMMA-PVA) by TiO2 NPs (wt.% = 2%, 4%, 8%, 16%) are deposited glass substrate. Transmittance (T%), reflectance (R%), absorption coefficient (?), optical constants (n k), dielectric functions...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles functionalised with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) luminogen via a carbon-nitrogen double bond are fabricated into films by a dip-coating method. The as-made films can serve as efficient fluorescent sensors for the naked-eye detection of volatile acid gases by colour and emission changes, as well as for the detection of 2,4-dinitrotoluene vapours by fluoresce...

In this review, several cost-effective thin-film coating methods, which include dip-coating, spin-coating, spray-coating, blade-coating, and roll-coating, are presented. Each method has its own set of advantages disadvantages depending on the proposed application. Not all them appropriate for large-scale production due to their certain limitations. That is why should be selected based type size...
