Academic and industrial research groups are currently working to obtain high-quality
transparent ultralow-refractive-index and ultralow-dielectric-constant thin films, as they are …

Bio-inspired superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated based on fossilized silica fresh
water diatomaceous earth (DE) particles. These nanostructured silicified diatom frustules of …

To gain a better understanding of protein adsorption onto biomaterial surfaces is required for
the control of biocompatibility and bioactivity. Various samples of (DLC) and fluorine-doped …

The dark current of long wavelength infrared (LWIR) detector should be reduced to improve
performance and decrease the system size, weight and power consumption (SWaP). In this …

Organic electrode materials offer a promising alternative for lithium‐ion batteries due to their
lower costs, reduced environmental impact, renewability, and high theoretical capacity …

Wrinkling skin layers on pre-strained polymer sheets has drawn significant interest as a
method to create reconfigurable surface patterns. Compared to widely studied metal or silica …

Fluorocarbon polymer deposited on a checkerboard wafer composed of low-k dielectrics
and TiN dies (2× 2 cm squares) was used as a model polymer for wet removal experiments …

We report experimental evidence of the percolation of thermal conductivity in nanometer
scale thin films of amorphous fluorocarbon, using time-domain thermoreflectance …

In order to reduce the interconnect resistance and capacitance (RC) time delay of a
semiconductor integrated circuit, a more porous dielectric material is used in recent …

The etching of glass is still much more challenging than the deep etching of silicon. But in
contrast to pure silica, most glasses are complex alloys of serval oxides including aluminium …
