Hydrophobicity study of polytetrafluoroethylene nanocomposite films

Curie temperature of FePt:B2O3 nanocomposite films

Laser processing of polymer nanocomposite thin films

Current biotechnology and sensor research has enhanced the drive to establish viable methods for depositing high-quality polymer thin films. In this research, thin films of poly methyl methacrylate PMMA were prepared by matrix-assisted pulsed-laser evaporation MAPLE . Up to 2 wt % of carbon nanotubes were subsequently added to MAPLE target systems for deposition of polymer nanocomposite films. ...

CoPtCr:C nanocomposite films for high density recording

Responsive plasma polymerized ultrathin nanocomposite films

The plasma polymerization of NIPAAM and titanium isopropoxide monomers into responsive ultrathin films with responsive optical properties using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition is reported. The composite ultrathin films possess a large window for potential changes in their refractive index from 1.60 to 1.95. We demonstrated that these polymer films exhibit fast (transition time below 2...

Antimicrobial graphene polymer (PVK-GO) nanocomposite films.

The first report on the fabrication and application of a nanocomposite containing poly-N-vinyl carbazole (PVK) polymer and graphene oxide (GO) as an antimicrobial film was demonstrated. The antimicrobial film was 90% more effective in preventing bacterial colonization relative to the unmodified surface. More importantly, the nanocomposite thin film showed higher bacterial toxicity than pure GO-...
