Film Deposition Rate

The arc ion plating (AIP) technique is known to be capable of providing high film deposition rate and strong film adhesion. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is characterized by its high chemical stability, photocatalysis and biocompatibility nature. The present study employed AIP to deposit TiO2 onto polyetheretherketone (PEEK) at low temperature. This study investigates the microstructure, mechanical and electrochemical properties of the TiO2 coatings as affected by the coating variables for some possible applications. The experimental results indicate that a crystallinic columnar film containing a controllable ratio of anatase to rutile phase can be prepared. The pencil hardness of the PEEK material graded as 4H was increased to over 9H by AIP-TiO2 coating. The film adhesion of the AIP-TiO2 coating can ultimately reach a critical load of 15 N and is associated with its deposition condition, but exhibits the cohesive failure mode (of the scratch scar) regardless of its deposition condition. The polarization behavior of the TiO2 coating in 3.5 wt.% NaCl electrolyte reveals that the AIP-TiO2 coating presents a greater electrochemical inertness if the rutile phase exists. The coating is, however, close to the electrochemical behavior of graphite material in all cases.

Implant System

Here, we present a bone implant system of phase-oriented titanium dioxide (TiO2) fabricated by the micro-arc oxidation method (MAO) on β-Ti to facilitate improved osseointegration. This (101) rutile-phase-dominant MAO TiO2 (R-TiO2) is biocompatible due to its high surface roughness, bone-mimetic structure, and preferential crystalline orientation. Furthermore, (101) R-TiO2 possesses active and abundant hydroxyl groups that play a significant role in enhancing hydroxyapatite formation and cell adhesion and promote cell activity leading to osseointegration. The implants had been elicited their favorable cellular behavior in vitro in the previous publications; in addition, they exhibit excellent shear strength and promote bone–implant contact, osteogenesis, and tissue formation in vivo. Hence, it can be concluded that this MAO R-TiO2 bone implant system provides a favorable active surface for efficient osseointegration and is suitable for clinical applications.

Carbon spheres were applied as templates to synthesize titanium dioxide hollow spheres. The templates were purified with either ethanol or acetone, and the effects of this treatment on the properties of the resulting titania were investigated. The photocatalytic activity of the catalysts was measured via the decomposition of phenol model pollutant under visible light irradiation. It was found that the solvent used for the purification of the carbon spheres had a surprisingly large impact on the crystal phase composition, morphology, and photocatalytic activity. Using ethanol resulted in a predominantly rutile phase titanium dioxide with regular morphology and higher photocatalytic activity (r0,phenol = 3.9 × 10−9 M∙s−1) than that containing mainly anatase phase prepared using acetone (r0,phenol = 1.2 × 10−9 M∙s−1), surpassing the photocatalytic activity of all investigated references. Based on infrared spectroscopy measurements, it was found that the carbon sphere templates had different surface properties that could result in the appearance of carbonate species in the titania lattice. The presence or absence of these species was found to be the determining factor in the development of the titania’s properties.

AbstractWe have proposed ReMnO3 (Re:rare earth) thin films, as a new candidate for nonvolatile memory devices. In this paper, we try to fabricate (0001) oriented YMnO3 films on (111)MgO, (0001)ZnO:Al/(0001) sapphire and (111)Pt/(111)MgO using rf magnetron sputtering. We succeed in obtaining (0001) epitaxial YMnO3 films on (111) MgO and (0001)ZnO:Al/(0001)sapphire substrate, and polycrystalline films on (111)Pt/(1 11)MgO for the first time. Electrical property of the bottom electrode (ZnO:Al) changes with varying the deposition condition of YMnO3 films. However, we find an optimum deposition condition of ZnO:Al film such that it functions as a bottom electrode even after YMnO3 film deposition. The dielectric properties of the epitaxial and polycrystalline YMnO3 films are almost the same. The YMnO3 films show leaky electrical properties. This may be caused by a change in the valence electron of Mn from 3+.

The reconstructive transformation occurring during the anatase-to-rutile phase transition can be observed through adequate techniques such as Thermal Analyses and Z-ray diffractometry followed by structural refinement. The typical photonic properties of titanium dioxide photocatalysts depend on the anatase structure and how the modifiers can provide their performance enhancement. In the present work, we investigate the structural effects caused by the simultaneous homovalent modification on the anatase structure in order to understand the mechanisms of the anatase-to-rutile phase transition in terms of the atomic coordinates and the lattice parameters. The refined structures along the calcination temperature from 500 to 900 oC suggest the oxygen bonds are strongly affected in unmodified anatase in order to destroy and rebuilt the crystal structure and lead to the rutile phase formation above 700 oC, unless some modifier pairs stabilize them.

Herein, we describe the synthesis of titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles by the hydrolysis and condensation of titanium tetrachloride. The resulting nanoparticles were immobilized on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based nanofibres by an electrospinning technique in order to allow simple isolation and reuse of titania semiconductor photocatalyst. The composite nanofibres were heat treated to convert the polymer nanofibres to carbon nanofibres and to convert amorphous TiO2to crystalline TiO2. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis showed that the rutile phase was the major phase and the equatorial peaks of PAN disappeared after heat treatment at 600°C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed that some TiO2nanoparticles were encapsulated whereas some were surface residing on the electrospun nanofibres. The TiO2nanoparticles were found to lower the cyclization temperature of PAN as indicated by differential scanning colorimetry (DSC) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). Photocatalytic studies on the degradation of methyl orange dye under UV light irradiation showed that composite nanofibres were capable of degrading organic contaminants in water. The carbon nanofibres with surface residing titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2/CNF-SR) showed the highest photocatalytic activity (59.35% after 210 minutes) due to direct contact between the TiO2photocatalyst and methyl orange.

ABSTRACTFracture energy (Ga) of BPDA-PDA polyimide (PI) on modified and unmodified Si surfaces was measured by the “blister” test as a function of final cure temperature. It is proven quantitatively that surface modification prior to thin film deposition enhances adhesion. Metal adhesion to PI was also measured by the same method. Reproducibility of the data was found to be exceptionally good for both cases. The linear elastic model is quite valid for the test of thin film adhesion. Therefore, it is believed that this test is best suited for Ga measurements in the study of thin film adhesion for microelectronic packaging.
