PVDF based polymer nanocomposite coatings for large area applications

Tiwari M.K., Bayer I.S., Megaridis C.M., University of Illinois at Chicago, US

A class of polymer nanocomposites consisting of all biocompatible components has been developed for large area coating applications. The coatings are made possible by solution blending of poly (vinylidine fluoride) (PVDF) with polymerized ethyl cyanoacrylate. [...]

Large Area Replication of AAO Nanostructure Using a Solvent Exchange Method and UV-curable Polymers

Kim J-S, Lee K.B., Lee W., Lee K.B., Lee W., Korea university, KR

We made a successful fabrication of nanopatterns with various UV curable materials, 311RM, Ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDA), 4-hydroxy butyl acrylate (4-HBA) and pyrrole. AAO nanopatterns larger than 5 cm 5 cm were successfully replicated. It [...]

Synthesis of uniform ZnO nanowire arrays over a large area

Wang C-H, Yang J., Shum K., Salagaj T., Ren Z.F., Tu Y., First Nano, US

It has been found that Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires have great potential in many applications. Currently, the most commonly used method to grow ZnO nanowires is to use the vapor transport method. The morphology of [...]
