Bound rubber in carbon black (CB) filled rubber (natural rubber (NR) and styrene–butadiene rubber (SBS)) was prepared by the solvent method. The nanomorphology of CB and rubber/CB soluble rubber was observed by atomic force microscope. The results show that high-structure CB DZ13 has a "grape...

A significant enhancement in light extraction from colloidal ZnO QD films was observed on an addition of a layer of two-dimensional photonic crystal (2D-PC) structure. The PCs with a rectangular-lattice air-hole array pattern with the period of 1.4 μm and the hole-size of 400 nm were fabricated...

To investigate the initial morphological evolution of 321 stainless steel (SS) films, we examined the effect of sputtering time on the morphology of 321 SS film. In this study, a group of samples were prepared at nine different sputtering times within 20 s using radio-frequency (r.f.) magnetron...
