Porcelain enamel is an inorganic-type coating, which applied to metals or glass for both decorative and functional purposes. This coating a silica-based solidified mass obtained by high-temperature firing (temperature can range between 450 1200 °C depending on the substrate). coatings differ from ceramic mainly their structure dilatation coefficient, organic paints inorganic nature of matrix ch...

In this study, plasma polymerization technique was used to modify the surface of glass fiber under various plasma powers (30, 60 and 90 W) for exposure time of 15 min to improve the compatibility between glass fiber and epoxy matrix. γ -glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (γ-GPS) monomer were used for surface coating of glass fiber. Interfacial properties of composites were investigated by short be...

Abstract Glass fiber-reinforced polymer materials have been effectively used in civil aviation aircraft, but due to low electrical conductivity, a large area of ablation damage will occur after lightning strikes, which greatly threatens the safety aircrafts. Based on this, coupled electrical-thermal finite element analysis model for glass fiber reinforced is established, and results are compare...

Transparent and electrically conductive composite silica films were fabricated on glass and hydrophilic SiOx/silicon substrates by incorporation of individual graphene oxide sheets into silica sols followed by spin-coating, chemical reduction, and thermal curing. The resulting films were characterized by SEM, AFM, TEM, low-angle X-ray reflectivity, XPS, UV-vis spectroscopy, and electrical condu...

The main goal of this paper is to demonstrate that photothermal method is an effective tool for detection of geometrical and structural non-uniformities within optically non-opaque, light scattering, planar multilayer structures. The investigated objects were plates of glass coated with silica, cellulose, aluminum oxide, polyamide or octadecylsilane. The thickness of coating ranged from 100 to ...

In this paperwe review a recently developed finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) iterative technique for the analysis of periodic structures at oblique incidence.We showhow it can be implemented in FDTD code and estimate required computer memory and time resources. To illustrate performance of our technique we demonstrate the plasmon formation in a thin gold film placed at air/glass interface a...

The adhesion between poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) hemispheres coated with layer-by-layer (LbL) assemblies of polyelectrolytes and rigid, planar substrates was investigated using Johnson, Kendall, and Roberts (JKR) contact mechanics. Measurements were performed against amine-functionalized glass slides both in air and in aqueous solutions of controlled pH. Despite the increased density of negat...

Today multiand monocrystaline solar cells are typically wet-chemically textured and coated with a thin layer of silicon nitride to reduce losses due to light reflection and for electrical passivation of the silicon surface. In this paper we investigate a layer stack consisting of silicon nitride (SiNx:H) with a high refractive index at the silicon interface, an intermediate SiNx:H layer and on ...

Recent trends in the development of microfluidic and biodiagnostic chips favor polymer materials over glass, primarily for optical and economical reasons. Therefore, existing chemical methods to prepare biomolecule microarrays on glass slides have to be adapted or replaced in order to suit polymer substrates. Here we present a strategy to immobilize DNA and antibodies on cyclic polyolefin slide...
