Transparent conducting indium tin oxide (ITO) films are deposited on Porous Silicon (PS) substrates by spray pyrolysis technique. In this process, the films are formed over the surface and also incorporated into the pores of PS and thereby making a protecting layer as well as a contacting...

The plasma treatment on SiO2 substrate surfaces increased the oxygen-containing functional groups or the polar component of the surface free energy and, the wetting characteristics of the underfills/SiO2. The plasma treatment condition which gave the smallest contact angle between the underfills...

The radio frequency (RF) argon plasma induced surface modification of paper revealed novel surface characteristics and substantially changed surface topography. It was found that RF-argon glow discharge affects surface properties resulting in photo-degradation and chain-scission mechanism on...

The hyperbranched aliphatic polyester grafted activated carbon (HAPE-AC), was successfully prepared by the simple "one-pot" method. The surface functional groups of commercial activated carbon particles were homogenized to hydroxyl groups by being oxidized with nitric acid and then reduced with...

Surface oxidation of Ti was carried out using KrF excimer laser in the presence of O2. Different colors were obtained by varying the number of laser pulses at the fixed laser fluence. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the outmost surface is composed of TiO2 and the inner layer consists...

Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering and under a quite low vacuum level of 2.3 × 10-3 Pa. The sputtering was done in an Ar and O2 gas mixture at a temperature of 200°C. A ceramic In2O3:SnO2 target (10 wt% SnO2) was used. The...
