Reversible hot spot formation is achieved for free-standing silver nanorod (AgNR) arrays fabricated by oblique angle deposition and modified with a hydrophilic surface coating.

High-quality single-walled carbon nanotubes free of defects and amorphous carbon coating have been produced by catalytic decomposition of C2H2 over Fe-Mo/Al2O3 catalyst.

In this study, Damar Batu (DB) − a novel biomaterial− is evaluated for its potential application in pharmaceutical coating. DB is a whitish to yellowish resin, characterized initially in terms of solubility, acid value, molecular weight (Mw), polydispersity index (Mw/Mn) and glass transition temperature (Tg). Neat plasticized films of DB are investigated for mechanical, water vapor transmission...

We developed a Gd-DTPA (gadolinium(III)-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid)-based coating copolymer of hydrophilic and hydrophobic subunits to obtain visibility, hydrophilicity, and durability for passive visualization of catheters used in MR-guided interventions. We then examined a metal-free catheter coated with the polymer in a phantom and in porcine brain tissue ex vivo. Successful visualiz...

We developed a water-free atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to homogeneously deposit SbOx using SbCl5 and Sb-Ethoxide as precursors, report it here for the first time. The coating is applied on Bi2Te3 particles synthesized via solvothermal route enhance thermoelectric properties (i.e., Seebeck coefficient, thermal electrical conductivity) interface engineering. amorphous character of was sh...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES A current public health issue is preventing post-surgical complications by designing antibacterial implants. To achieve this goal, in this study we evaluated the antibacterial activity of an animal-free chitosan grafted onto a titanium alloy. METHODS Animal-free chitosan binding on the substrate was performed by covalent link via a two-step process using TriEthoxySil...

We use a coating model to enable homogenous deposition of SnO 2 for perovskite solar cells. Solvent engineering the formulation and adaptation parameters is used apply defect free layers using slot-die coating.
