the sno2 films deposited from inorganic precursors via sol–gel dip coating method have been found to be highly sensitive to methanol and ethanol vapor. three dimensional nano-structure materials have attracted the attention of many researches because the possibility to apply them for near future devices in sensors, catalysis and energy related. the sensitivity and selectivity of sno2 (110) nano...

Thin ZnO films are deposited on glass substrates via sol–gel method and dip-coating. The films are prepared from zinc acetate dehydrate as a starting reagent. After that the as-prepared ZnO sol is aged for different periods (0, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 days). Nanocrystalline thin films are deposited from various sols. The effect ZnO sols aging time on the structural and photocatalytic properties ...

Infection is the most common factor that leads to dental titanium implant failure. Antibacterial implant surfaces based on nano-scale modifications of the titanium appear as an attractive strategy for control of peri-implantitis. In the present work, the preparation and antibacterial properties of a novel composite coating for titanium based on nanoporous silica and silver nanoparticles are pre...

Nowadays due to water shortage, the use of air humidity as the sustainable solution has been considered by cities located in coastal zones; especially in warm and humid climate. However, the use of air humidity also has its own problems such as corrosion of metal parts in photovoltaic cells that used for energy supplying and they are often made of Aluminum alloy. Therefore different methods suc...

This study aimed to determine the effects of coating thickness and curing temperature on properties a polybutyl methacrylate-siloxane deposited structural steel S355. First, thermal sol as function were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis coupled with mass spectrometry differential scanning calorimetry. After deposition S355 dip-coating process, composition porosity evaluated Fourier ...
