BODIPY based self-healing fluorescent gel formation via acylhydrazone linkage
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)Polymeric BODIPY derivatives with reactive functional groups undergo reversible formation of covalent bonds leading to self-healing properties. Cross-reactivity of acyl-hydrazine and aldehyde moieties forms the basis of ... -
Co doping induced structural and optical properties of sol-gel prepared ZnO thin films
(Elsevier BV, 2014-11)The preparation conditions for Co doping process into the ZnO structure were studied by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique. Structural and optical properties of the Co:ZnO thin films as a function of Co concentrations ... -
Effect of processing options on ultra-low-loss lead-magnesium-niobium titanate thin films for high density capacitors
(Elsevier, 2013)This work studies the impact of annealing temperatures on PMNT (lead-magnesium niobate-lead titanate, Pb(Mg0.33Nb 0.67)0.65Ti0.35O3) thin films grown on a silicon substrate. The electrical properties of the thin films, ... -
Nanocomposite glass coatings containing hexagonal boron nitride nanoparticles
(Pergamon Press, 2016)Glass coatings composed of SiO2-K2O-Li2O, containing non-modified and fluorosilane modified hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanoparticles, were prepared on stainless steel plates through sol-gel spin-coating method. Coatings ... -
Photonic devices and systems embedded with nanocyrstals
(SPIE, 2006)We review our research work on the development of photonic devices and systems embedded with nanocyrstals for new functionality within EU Phoremost Network of Excellence on nanophotonics. Here we report on CdSe/ZnS ... -
Robust superhydrophilic patterning of superhydrophobic ormosil surfaces for high-throughput on-chip screening applications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2016)This article describes a facile method for the preparation of two-dimensionally patterned superhydrophobic hybrid coatings with controlled wettability. Superhydrophobic coatings were deposited from nanostructured organically ... -
Superhydrophobic, hybrid, electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibrous mats for oil/water separation by tailored surface modification
(American Chemical Society, 2016)Electrospun cellulose acetate nanofibers (CA-NF) have been modified with perfluoro alkoxysilanes (FS/CA-NF) for tailoring their chemical and physical features aiming oil-water separation purposes. Strikingly, hybrid FS/CA-NF ... -
A versatile bio-inspired material platform for catalytic applications: Micron-sized "buckyball-shaped" TiO<inf>2</inf> structures
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)A simple sol-gel synthesis method is presented for the production of micron-sized buckyball-like TiO<inf>2</inf> architectures using naturally occurring Lycopodium clavatum (LC) spores as biotemplates. We demonstrate that ...
