Harnessing the Marangoni Effect in Semiconductor Manufacturing
Researchers from the University of Hong Kong report how solution shearing of organic semiconductor crystals is influenced by a surface tension gradient. Using a Marangoni-effect-assisted bar coating method, ultrathin, uniform layers of crystals with large domain sizes are obtained that show excellent performance in organic field-effect transistors.
Flexible Electroluminescent Device for Modular Sensing Applications
Researchers introduce a new device concept for electroluminescent displays, which does not require transparent electrodes and can be used as remotely readable, spatially-responsive sensors that emit light in response to the accumulation and distribution of materials on the device surface.
A Powerful Tool for Nanostructures
Abetz Volker and his team demonstrate how complex nanostructures can be achieved by polymer blending.
Plasma Makes POSS Nanomaterials More Effective and Environment Friendly
A new study introduces an innovative and cost-effective technique for the plasma functionalization of POSS micro-powders without damaging the nanocage structure they are based on.
