Low-cost black coating with freestanding well-aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs), fabricated from CNT-dispersive in water-soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) matrix, exhibits a bright white-light emission with narrow-band RGB (red, green, blue) colors having CIE (0.327, 0.349) chromaticity coordinate when subjected to the microwave irradiation.

In this review paper, recent progress in the fabrication, transfer, and fundamental physical properties of freestanding oxide perovskite thin films is discussed. First, main strategies for synthesis transfer are analyzed. initial section, particular attention devoted to use water-soluble (Ca,Sr,Ba)3Al2O6 as sacrificial layers, one most promising techniques fabrication membranes. The functionali...

The mechanical behavior of freestanding thin sputter-deposited films of Au is studied at temperatures up to 340°C using tensile testing. Films tested at elevated temperatures exhibit a significant decrease in flow stress and stiffness. Furthermore the flow stress decreases with decreasing film thickness, contravening the usual notion that “smaller is stronger”. This behavior is attributed mainl...
