Microcantilever is a device of MEMS (microelectro-mechanical system) which can be used as bio-chemical sensor, such to determine the characteristics chemical liquids. In this work, an investigation evaporation rate liquids, i.e., ethanol, methanol, and propanol, was carried out using resonant frequency change vibrated microcantilever. We two types microcantilever, namely uncoated-microcantileve...

Water soluble polymers such as Hydroxy Propyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC), Poly Vinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), Carboxy Methyl Cellulose Sodium (CMC Na), and Methyl Cellulose as well as in combination of varying proportions are used in this study for the protective coating of Microcrystalline Hydroxy Apatite Complex (MCHC). The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of aqueous film coating ...

The zincZeolite Socony Mobil-Five nano-particles (Zn-ZSM-5 NPs) composite was prepared and applied successfully as a new coating material to improve the corrosion resistance of steel. The corrosion type and quality of both pure zinc and our new coating material, Zn-ZSM-5 NPs, were studied using mass loss, impedance and electro-chemical polarization techniques in a sodium chloride solution. Obta...

Worldwide occurrences of honey bee colony losses have raised concerns about bee health and the sustainability of pollination-dependent crops. While multiple causal factors have been identified, seed coating with insecticides of the neonicotinoid family has been the focus of much discussion and research. Nonetheless, few studies have investigated the impacts of these insecticides under field con...

ZnO nanorods (NRs) were synthesized using an in situ low-temperature hydrothermal method. In order to investigate the effect of different seed layers on quality of ZnO NRs arrays, alcoholic, alkaline and acidic seed solutions were deposited by spin coating on ITO-glass substrate. Experimental results revealed that the vertically ZnO NRs obtained from monoethanolamine-based seed layer is the...

We report the direct coating of a novel antireflective (AR) nanoarray structure of silica nanoparticles on highly flexible polymer substrates by a conventional vacuum coating method using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Globular-shaped silica nanoparticles are found to be self-arranged in a periodic pattern on subwavelength scales without the use of artificial assemblies that typical...

Solution processable semiconducting polymers have been under intense investigations due to their diverse applications from printed electronics to biomedical devices. However, controlling the macromolecular assembly across length scales during solution coating remains a key challenge, largely due to the disparity in timescales of polymer assembly and high-throughput printing/coating. Herein we p...
