AbstracMineralization processes used by bioorganisms have been adapted for the nucleation and growth of ceramic oxide thin films onto surfaces from aqueous solutions. These strategies include the use of surfaces derivatized with specific functional groups that control the nucleation and growth and properties of materials deposited. Iron oxide materials were deposited onto functionalized polystyrene surfaces, resulting in the formation of thin films composed of densely packed, nanometer-sized crystallites. Evidence for the formation of oriented crystallites was found. This process may have advantages over conventional thin film processing methods due to the ability to systematically control properties of materials deposited.

The properties (mass loading and elastic changes) of different oxide materials (ZnO, TeO2, SnO2, TiO2) in thin film form has been explored for the enhanced detection of DBS (di butyl sulphide), a simulant of sulphur mustard gas. All the four oxide materials are deposited on to the surface of SAW (Surface Acoustic Wave) devices to impart sensitivity and selectivity. ZnO and SnO2 films are crystalline whereas TiO2 and TeO2 films are amorphous in nature. All the films are transparent with transparency greater than 75 % in the visible region. The SAW devices coated with different oxide materials were placed in the feedback loop of colpitt oscillator. With the exposure of DBS vapors, differential frequency increases for TiO2 thin films whereas for other oxide coatings (ZnO, TeO2 and SnO2) it decreases. ZnO coated SAW sensor is found to be maximum sensitive to DBS vapors. Investigation of sensing mechanism revealed that mass loading effect is pronounced in TiO2 thin film whereas for other films change in elasticity is dominant. The oxide coatings are very less sensitive to the other interferants.
