Improved Nanoreinforced Composite Material Bonds with Potential Sensing Capabilities

Starikov D., Price A., Glenn T., Attia F., Fischer M., Bokadoum M., Bensaoula A., Integrated Micro Sensors Inc., US

Dramatic increase in the bond strength of composite/adhesive interfaces of nano reinforced composite material joints and structures has been achieved using laser-assisted fabrication of Micro Column Arrays (MCA) on the surface of the two materials [...]

Nano-Engineered Dielectrics for Energy Storage Solutions

Badi N., Bensaoula A., University of Houston, US

We present a novel laser processing technique to produce nanodielectric films, which are based on polymer coated metal nanoparticles. The polymer-coated Au NP composite was spin-coated onto a nickel foil serving as the bottom electrode [...]

Solar-Blind Dual-Band UV/IR Photodetectors Integrated on a Single Chip

Starikov D., Boney C., Pillai R., Bensaoula A., Integrated Micro Sensors Inc., US

Currently used flame detectors that are composed of discrete UV and IR solid-state components are bulky, sustain temperatures only below 125°C, and are not capable of detecting a multi-band optical signal with high spatial resolution. [...]
