Organically modified silica coatings were prepared on metal nanowires using a variety of silicon alkoxides with different functional groups (i.e., carboxyl groups, polyethylene oxide, cyano, dihydroimidazole, and hexyl linkers). Organically modified silicas were deposited onto the surface of 6-μm-long, ∼300-nm-wide, c…

Fully phosphor-converted LEDs (FpcLeds) with saturated emission have been realized in the green and amber spectral region. With the Lumiramic™ phosphor technology it is possible to achieve high package efficiency with minimum transmission of blue light from the primary LED source. This is done by keeping the scat…

Abstract In contrast to the bulk of published nanocomposite studies, in this study we investigated the mechanical properties of alumina/epoxy nanocomposites manufactured with nanofillers having a fiber or whisker morphology. The article describes how ultrasonic dispersion and in situ polymerization were used to incorp…

We have experimentally studied the interparticle force between two particles accompanied by hyperbolic hedgehog defects in a nematic liquid crystal. The force F was measured with dual-beam optical tweezers at various temperatures and in cells with various thicknesses. In a thick cell, the dependence of F on the interp…

N,N,N-tris(5-alkoxytroponyl)-1,5,9-triazacyclododecanes and their corresponding benzenoids were synthesised to investigate their mesomorphic properties. The troponoids have a bicontinuous cubic phase with a Pn3m space group whereas the benzenoids form a smectic A phase. The thermal stability of the cubic phase of the…

Graphene has been given great attention to overcome current physical limits in electronic devices and its synthesis routes are developing rapidly. However, graphene film manufacturing is still hindered by either low throughput or low material quality. Here, we present a low temperature PE-CVD assisted graphene growth…

Top finishes began to be used already in the 18th century when fabrics were coated with linseed oil to produce oilcloth. This was the first procedure of coating several agents to the textile substrate and can be considered as the predecessor of multi-layered materials. Textile surface materials coated with chemical l…

Partial oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde over Cu(110) is one of the most studied catalytic reactions in surface science, yet the local site of the reaction intermediate, methoxy, remains unknown. Using a combination of experimental scanned-energy mode photoelectron diffraction, and density functional theory, a co…

ZnO nanowire nucleation mechanism and initial stages of nanowire growth using the carbothermal reduction technique are studied confirming the involvement of the catalyst at the tip in the growth process. Role of the Au catalyst is further confirmed when the tapering observed in the nanowires can be explained by the ch…

Historically the main use of the textile fabrics has been limited mainly to clothing and domestic applications. The technical uses were of minor importance. However in the last decades the use of the textile structures has started to spread over other sectors like construction, medicine, vehicles, aeronautics, etc. Th…
