High transparent conductive indium tin oxide/titanium dioxide (ITO/TiO2) nanostructured thin film is prepared by sol-gel dip-coating technique. This method yielded monodisperse ITO nanoparticles with mean diameter of 12 nm. The atomic composition of the Sn within the ITO structure changed from 0-20 wt.%. Through controlled annealing temperature at 550 oC, the result...

A ZIF-8 thin film-based Fabry-Pérot device has been fabricated as a selective sensor for chemical vapors and gases. The preparation of the ZIF-8 thin film and a series of ZIF-8 thin films of various thicknesses grown on silicon substrates are presented.

To apply the nanomaterial as a component in the packaging material structure, in this research, the carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film were prepared with three levels of nanoclay particles (0.5, 1 and 3%) using solution casting evaporation method. The incorporation of nanoclay on mechanical, water vapor permeability, and oxygen barrier properties of CMC/PVA-based film wa...

The use of thick films becomes more and more important in particular for electronic and microelectronic applications. The term “thick film” does not relate so much to the thickness of the film but more to the kind of deposition. Thick films are made by low-priced processes such as doctor (dr) blading, screen-printing, or spraying methods, etc. The preparation of thick films of ceramic material ...

We report a straightforward method for preparation of freestanding transparent polymer film containing 2D silver nanoparticle arrays and possessing polarization-sensitive optical properties.

abstract: background: a new type of drug delivery system known as mucoadhesive film has been developed for oral thrush treatment. due to comfortable use of this drug delivery system, this would be encouragingly utilized, especially in babies and patient under chemotherapy. nystatin mucoadhesive film (nmf) is a polymeric film which is adhered to front upper gum and back to the upper lip and rele...

Nickel hexacyanoferrate (NiHCF) film was prepared and characterized on gold and thiol self-assembled monolayers (SAMs)-modified gold electrodes. It was found that the film exhibited some different electrochemical characteristics compared with that found on a carbon electrode. In the presence of K+, the film exhibited a redox peak at about 0.5 V. The peak potential shifted linearly with the K+ c...

As we know sol-gel is one of the most important techniques for thin film preparation. In this paper, high transmission silica thin films have been prepared by dip-coating process from a new silicon-alkoxide solution. The prepared sol was stable for 45 days which is very important to characterize the coating process. The optical properties as a function of aging time, withdrawal rate, and he...
