Transparent BaTiO(3):Eu(3+) films were prepared via a sol-gel method and dip-coating technique, using barium acetate, titanium butoxide, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as modifier viscosity. BaTiO(3):Eu(3+) films ~500 nm thick, crystallized after thermal treatment at 700 masculineC. The powders revealed spherical and rod shape morphology. The optical quality of films showed a predominant band a...

In this work it is proposed a novel antibacterial surface composed of an organicinorganic hybrid matrix of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and a weak polyelectrolyte like Poly(acrylic acid sodium salt) (PAA) which are deposited on glass slides by sol-gel method using the dip-coating technique [1]. This work is focused in the in situ synthesis of Ag nanoparticles (NPs) which are responsible of the anti...

limn2o4 spinel cathode materials have been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction. surface of these particles were modified by nanostructured lifepo4 via sol gel dip coating method. synthesized products were characterized by thermally analyzed by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis(tg/dta), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), and energy dispers...

in this paper, zno thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. presenting well-defined orientation of zno thin films nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (mea), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. the annealed zno thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm....

In this study nanosized TiO2coatings on the 316L stainless steel substrate were prepared by means of dip-coating technique in which thickness of the coating layer increased byrepeating the coating cycles in two different routes: (I) dipping and drying,respectively, were repeated one, three and five times and finally the dried coated sample was heat treated (single); (II) multiple heat treatment...

The sonochemical technique has already been proven as one of the best coating methods for stable functionalization of substrates over a wide range of applications. Here, we report for the first time on the simultaneous sonochemical dyeing and coating of textiles with antibacterial metal oxide (MO) nanoparticles. In this one-step process the antibacterial nanoparticles are synthesized in situ an...

We characterize the selective deposition of liquid microstructures on chemically heterogeneous surfaces by means of dip coating processes. The maximum deposited film thickness depends critically on the speed of withdrawal as well as the pattern size, geometry, and angular orientation. For vertically oriented hydrophilic strips, we derive a hydrodynamic scaling relation for the deposited film th...

A novel optical fiber humidity sensor based on lossy mode resonances (LMR) has been developed. LMRs are supported here by a thin Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) coating fabricated onto an optical fiber core via a sol-gel dip coating. ITO coated optical fiber devices present a resonant maximum absorption peak in the infra-red region which is shifted to higher wavelengths when the refractive index of the ...

Optical properties and structure of antireflective coatings (AR) deposited from hydrolysed TEOS sol have been characterized in detail. The influence of various parameters on the formation of colloidal silica antireflective coatings by the dip-coating technique has been investigated. For the characterization of colloidal silica films, the UV-visible spectroscopy, laser ellipsometry, and atomic f...
