Poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) additives with different molecular weights were used to modify sol-gel precursor solutions for preparing lead zirconate titanate (PZT) thin films. The morphology, crystalline structure, and mechanical and electrical properties of the films were characterized. The relationship between the characteristics of the films and the molecular weight of PEG was investigated. It was observed that the PEG eliminated cracking of the films during multiple pyrolysis treatments. However, with the increase of the PEG molecular weight, the films became less dense, which led to decreased Young's modulus and dielectric constant and increased coercive field. Our experiments showed that films prepared from sols modified by PEG with a molecular weight of 200 exhibited a dense morphology and excellent mechanical and electric properties without cracking.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) known as wide band gap semiconductor with large excitation energy 60 meV, noncentral symmetry, piezoelectric and biocompatible for biomedical application are the unique characteristic that attract many researcher’s attention on ZnO nanostructure synthesis and physical properties. ZnO thin films were deposited on Si Glass substrate by a sol-gel process. The starting solution were prepare by dissolved zinc acetate dehydrate (ZnAc) and diethanolamine (DEA) in water (H2O) and 2-propanol (2-PrOH). 0 to 60 drops of NaOH were dropped into 100 ml sol-gel solution to study effect of sol-gel modification. ZnO thin films were obtained after preheating the spin coated thin films at 100 °C for 10 minutes after each coating. The coated substrates were undergone for Hot Water Treatment (HWT) process at 90 °C for 6 hours to grow ZnO nanostructures. The effects of sol-gel modification by drop of NaOH into the solution were studied. ZnO nanorods and nanoflakes were obtained after hot water treated at 90 °C for 6 hours with different amount of NaOH dropped directly in the sol-gel solution. On the basis of the changes in morphology and microstructure induced by hot water treatment, it is concluded that the amount of NaOH dropped into sol-gel effected morphology of ZnO growth.

Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is well known for its wide band gap semiconductor with large excitation energy that serves various application. These unique characteristics had gained much research attention on ZnO nanostructure synthesis and physical properties. In this study, ZnO thin films were deposited on ITO/PET substrate by a spin coating sol-gel process. The starting solution were prepare by dissolved zinc acetate dehydrate (ZnAc) and diethanolamine (DEA) in water (H2O) and 2-propanol (2-PrOH). Acid Citric (C6H8O7) from 0.2 to 1.0 M were dropped into 100 ml sol-gel solution to study effect of sol-gel environment condition. ZnO thin films were obtained after pre-heating the spin coated thin films at 100 °C for 5 minutes after each coating. The coated substrates were undergone for Hot Water Treatment (HWT) process at 90 °C for 6 hours to grow ZnO nanostructures. The effects of sol-gel environment condition by drop different concentrations of C6H8O7 into the solution were studied. Nanoflakes ZnO were obtained after hot water and hydrothermal treated at 90 °C for 6 hours with 0.2 till 1.0 concentration of C6H8O7 dropped directly in the sol-gel solution. On the basis of the changes in morphology and microstructure induced by hot water treatment, it is concluded that the nanosheets were highly transparent with the visible range (350 – 800 nm) with 70%-90% of Transmittance spectra. Growth of ZnO nanosheet influenced by increment of C6H8O7 mol concentration also with value of roughness RMS.
