Silane coatings are suitable for various applications of metal surfaces, such as forming a corrosion protection layer or as a primer for subsequent coating. In this work, bis-1,2- (triethoxy) ethane (BTSE) was used as a precursor on a 99.99% aluminum substrate for deposition of the coating, with three diff erent techniques: dipping (water-based solution ), Vacuum plasma and atmospheric plasma. (IRRAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and fi eld emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were used to characterize the structure, composition and surface morphology of silane coating. The purpose of this study is to compare the surface and body properties of membranes prepared by three different methods to obtain information on how BTSE molecules are modified by deposition techniques. The results show that in addition to the more traditional wet dip coating, the film can also be vacuum and atmospheric plasma deposition. The vacuum plasma deposition layer can be considered as an organic and inorganic mixture, which can be obtained by dipping as well as the silane layer. However, atmospheric plasma treatment leads to the formation of more inorganic fi lms containing Si-O. Photon spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy showed the presence of Si-O-Si bonds, while IRRAS measurements showed Si-O-Si, Si-O-C, Si-O and Si-CH3 absorption bands.

In this study, We immobilized hydrogel material onto expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) film and used as an functional biomaterial. The material is a film containing titanium oxide onto polymer sheet. The hydrogel film is hydrophilic, bacterial inactivated and bio-compatible. In order to improve the ePTFE film biocompatibility, the cold plasma or γ-ray technology was used with acetic acid as monomer to deposit onto ePTFE film and then (N-isopropylacrylamide) was grafted onto the surface by radiation photo-grafting. The characteristics of the material surface were evaluated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), FTIR and water contact angle. It was found that the contact angle of water on the untreated ePTFE significantly decrease from125° to 72° after ePTFE film being treated with acetic acid plasma deposition procedure. Due to the hydrophilicity of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide), so the contact angle of water on the ePTFE-g-NIPAAm almost approached to 0°. This thermal sensitive ePTFE hydrogels can be applied to artificial guiding tube and wound dressing material.

In this study, the fabrication of a metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) dispersed catalytic electrode is described based on a new alternating current (AC) plasma deposition approach. The fabrication involves the treatment of AC plasma on a precursor solution comprised of metal salts such as CuCl2, FeCl2, and ZnCl2, and a monomer (acrylic acid) in the presence/absence of a cross-linker. Furthermore, the utility of such developed electrodes has been demonstrated for the electrochemical determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The electrode materials obtained through plasma treatment was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscope (SEM), contact angle measurements, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and cyclic voltammetry. Among the metal oxide modified electrodes prepared by the AC plasma deposition method, the copper oxide (CuO) NPs catalytic electrode exhibited significant oxidation and reduction peaks for H2O2 in phosphate-buffered saline solution. The catalytic electrode with CuO NPs exhibited a combination of good H2O2 sensing characteristics such as good sensitivity (63.52 mA M−1 cm−2), good selectivity, low detection limits (0.6 µM), fast sensing response (5 s), a wide linear range (0.5–8.5 mM), and good stability over 120 cycles. Based on our results, it is well demonstrated that plasma deposition could be effectively utilized for the fabrication of the catalytic electrode for detection of H2O2 concentrations. Further, the strategy of using AC plasma for fabrication of metal oxide-based modified electrodes could also be extended for the fabrication of other kinds of nanomaterials-based sensors.

The graphene (GE) films were fabricated in this paper through the deposition of graphene oxide (GO) sheets onto the quartz slide by means of dip-coating technique, followed by thermal annealing. The growth process and transmittance of the film were monitored by ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis), the surface morphology and structure were investigated by Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman. The sheet resistance of the film was also tested and results showed that the sheet resistance is about 60 kΩ-1and the transmittance is as high as 81 % (at 550 nm).

To understand the effects of tribo-film formation derived from ZnDTP (zinc dialkyl ditio phosphate) on friction behavior, friction tests were carried out with varying sliding time. The sliding surfaces were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). On the basis of the surface analytical results of the tribo-film, the absorption bands in the region of 1300-1000 cm-1 assigned as polyphosphate appeared in all IR spectra after the sliding. The friction behavior of ZnDTP was related to the intensity change of the IR spectra peak at 1200 cm-1.

In order to optimize the dissolution resistance, cell attachment and Ca and P releasing ability of the calcium phosphate coatings, Hydroxyapatite/fluorapatite (HA/FA) biphasic coatings are prepared and characterized. Ultrasonically dispersing of HA powders in the mixed ethanol solution of Ca(NO3)2, P2O5 and HPF6, to form a “colloidal sol” for dip coating. The coatings are prepared on Ti6Al4V substrate by dip coating, 150oC drying and 600oC firing. The coatings are characterized by X-ray Diffractometer for the crystalline phase, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy for chemical composition and Scanning Electron Microscopy for the surface morphology. The results show biphasic HA/FA coatings with homogenous distribution of HA particle in the FA matrix can be obtained. The nominal F content of the coatings decreases with the increasing amount of HA, and the surface morphology is rough. These demonstrate the obtained biphasic HA/FA coatings are suitable to response to cells, accelerating bone formation.

ABSTRACTThis paper is focused on the sol-gel synthesis and characterization of CuO-based nanosystems both in the form of supported films and as guest nanoclusters embedded in a silica matrix. In both cases copper acetate (Cu(CH3COO)2 · H2O) was used as Cu source and, for the CuO :SiO2 nanocomposite systems, tetraethoxysilane (Si(OC2H5)4, TEOS) was adopted as silica precursor. Films were obtained by a dip-coating procedure and subsequently treated in air between 100 and 900°C. The system evolution on thermal annealing was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Glancing-Incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and optical absorption. Irrespective of the processing conditions, the formation of tenorite (CuO) crystallites with nanometric dimension was observed. In the nanocomposite samples, copper was homogeneously distributed in the host matrix and stable CuO nanoclusters (φ ≈ 15 nm) were obtained.

In this study we incorporated various amounts of a double-decker silsesquioxane (DDSQ) into phenolic/DDSQ hybrids, which we prepared from a bifunctionalized phenolic DDSQ derivative (DDSQ-4OH), phenol, and CH2O under basic conditions (with DDSQ-4OH itself prepared through hydrosilylation of nadic anhydride with DDSQ and subsequent reaction with 4-aminophenol). We characterized these phenolic/DDSQ hybrids using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy; 1H, 13C, and 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy; X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS); and thermogravimetric analysis. The thermal decomposition temperature and char yield both increased significantly upon increasing the DDSQ content, with the DDSQ units providing an inorganic protection layer on the phenolic surface, as confirmed through XPS analyses. We obtained carbon/DDSQ hybrids from the phenolic/DDSQ hybrids after thermal curing and calcination at 900 °C; these carbon/DDSQ hybrids displayed electrochemical properties superior to those of previously reported counterparts.

Cerium oxide films have been fabricated using dual plasma deposition. X-ray diffraction. (XRD) reveals a crystalline phase and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows that La exists predominantly in the +4 oxidation state. The activated partial thromboplastin time is longer than that of blood plasma and stainless steel. Furthermore, the numbers of adhered, aggregated and morphologically changed platelets are reduced compared to low-temperature isotropic carbon (LTIC). HUVEC cells exhibit good adhesion and proliferation behavior on cerium oxide films. This study suggests rare earth oxide films are potential blood-contacting biomedical materials.
