Intrinsic Effects of Materials on Superhydrophobicity of Polymer Replicas from Nature

Lee S.M., Kwon T.H., Pohang University Science and Technology, KR

The present work suggests a mass-producible and large scale fabrication method of superhydrophobic polymeric surfaces by means of material processing equipments which can maximize productivity and cost effectiveness. We fabricated two types of polymeric lotus [...]

Functional Polymers for Advanced Nanotechnology

Choi K.M., Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies, US

Nanotechnology has been seeking precision on organic electronics with enhanced device performances at low cost. Recently, there are growing interests in the functional integration generated using functional polymers to fabricate novel devices, which satisfy a [...]

Nano hetero nuclear fuel structure

Popa-Simil L., LAVM, Inc., US

The direct energy conversion of nuclear energy requires nano-structured nuclear fuel. The principle of the radiation energy direct conversion is the usage of the knock-on electrons produced by the moving particle interaction with the lattice. [...]

Porous Hierarchical Structures of TiO2 Nanotubes

Flores P., Dominguez J.M., PETROLEUM INSTITUTE (IMP), MX

Recently, carbon nanotubes have been a subject of intensive research due to potential uses in the fields of adsorption, microelectronics, hydrogen storage and catalysis, among others. Other inorganic nanotubes have been synthesized too, i.e., TiO2, [...]

TailorMat® – Nanostructured Materials by Design using Supercritical Fluids

Iversen S.B., Foverskov M., Mateiu R., Jensen H., SCF-Technologies, DK

SCF-Technologies has build a technology platform for tailor-made nanostructured materials based on more than 10 years experience in the high pressure industry and an intensive effort in nanotechnology research. Using the special properties from supercritical [...]

Batch Fabrication of Nanostructured Heterogeneous Microarrays for Chemical Sensing

Barborini E., Leccardi M., Bertolini G., Rorato O., Repetto P., Bandiera D., Gatelli M., Raso A., Garibbo A., Seminara L., Ducati C., Milani P., Tethis srl, IT

Deposition of nanoparticles from the gas phase is becoming an enabling technology for batch production of nanostructured devices. Supersonic clusters beam deposition (SCBD) has been shown as a viable route for the production of nanostructured [...]

Fabrication of electrochemical bio-sensors for the detection of glucose and hydrazine using ZnO nanonails grown by the thermal evaporation process

Umar A., Kim J.H., Kim S-H, Kim J.H., Kim S-H, Park Y.K., Hahn Y.B., Chonbuk National University, KR

Well-crystallized zinc oxide nanonails have been synthesized in a large quantity via a thermal evaporation method using the metallic zinc powder without the use of any metal catalyst or additives. The detailed structural and optical [...]
