Ultra-Thin Pyrocarbon Films as a Versatile Coating Material
نویسندگان
چکیده
The properties and synthesis procedures of the nanometrically thin pyrolyzed photoresist films (PPF) and the pyrolytic carbon films (PCF) were compared, and a number of similarities were found. Closer examination showed that the optical properties of these films are almost identical; however, the DC resistance of PPF is about three times higher than that of PCF. Moreover, we observed that the wettability of amorphous PPF and PCF was almost comparable to crystalline graphite. Potential applications executed by utilizing the small difference in the synthesis procedure of these two materials are suggested.

Fabrication of ultra-thin polyrotaxane-based films via solid-state continuous assembly of polymers.
Surface-confined ultra-thin polyrotaxane (PRX)-based films with tunable composition, surface topology and swelling characteristics were prepared by solid-state continuous assembly of polymers (ssCAP). The PRX-based films supported cell attachment, and their degradation in biological media could be tuned. This study provides a versatile nano-coating technology with potential applications in biom...

متن کاملGold Incorporated Mesoporous Silica Thin Film Model Surface as a Robust SERS and Catalytically Active Substrate.
Ultra-small gold nanoparticles incorporated in mesoporous silica thin films with accessible pore channels perpendicular to the substrate are prepared by a modified sol-gel method. The simple and easy spin coating technique is applied here to make homogeneous thin films. The surface characterization using FESEM shows crack-free films with a perpendicular pore arrangement. The applicability of th...
متن کاملUltra-thin zeolite films prepared by spin-coating Silicalite-1 precursor solutions
A procedure has been developed to prepare ultra-thin zeolite films supported on Si(1 0 0). Films were prepared by spin-coating a solution of Silicalite-1 zeolite precursors diluted in ethanol, followed by hydration in water vapour and heating to 60 C. High resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis of sample cross-sections shows that the surfaces are both smooth and continuous, and fi...
متن کاملPatchwork Coating of Fragmented Ultra-Thin Films and Their Biomedical Applications in Burn Therapy and Antithrombotic Coating
We have proposed free-standing centimeter-sized ultra-thin films (nanosheets) for biomedical applications. Such nanosheets exhibit unique properties such as transparency, flexibility, and good adhesiveness. However, they are only easily adhered to broad and flat surfaces due to their dimensions. To this end, we recently proposed an innovative nanomaterial: the nanosheets fragmented into submill...
