A simple method for fabricating micro/nanoscale hierarchical structures is presented using a two-step temperature-directed capillary molding technique. This lithographic involves sequential application of the process in which uniform polymer-coated surface molded with patterned mold by means force above glass transition temperature polymer. Various microstructures and nanostructures were fabricated minimum resolution down to ∼50 nm good reproducibility. Also contact angle measurements water...
Understanding the interaction between polyimide and inorganic surfaces is vital in controlling interfacial adhesion behavior. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to study of on both crystalline glassy silica surfaces, effects hydroxylation, structure, chemistry investigated. The results reveal that monomers have stronger hydroxylated compared nonhydroxylated surfaces. Also, onto glass corresponding Finally, we explore origins understand why some like Kapton a per unit area...
Paper is a popular platform material in all areas of sensor research due to its porosity, large surface area, and biodegradability, name but few. Many paper-based nanocomposites have been reported the last decade as novel substrates for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). However, there are still limiting factors, like low density hot spots or loss wettability. Herein, we designed process fabricate silver-chitosan nanocomposite layer on paper celluloses by layer-by-layer method...
Abstract This manuscript provides a comprehensive study of adhesion behavior and its governing mechanisms when polyimide undergoes various modes detachment from silica glass. Within the framework steered molecular dynamics, we develop three different measurement techniques: pulling, peeling, sliding.

The effect of nanoscale roughness on the adhesion between glassy silica and polyimides is examined by molecular dynamics simulation. Different surfaces, with varying degrees roughness, were generated cleaving bulk structures a predefined surface desired average different periods hydroxylation densities in an effort to study influence these characteristics at silica–polyimide interface. calculated results reveal that Ra primary controlling factor within considered conditions. Further, energy...
The coalescence between 135-Ag and 16-Pd clusters was studied through constant temperature molecular dynamic (MD) simulations at 300 K. Initially, the surface energy reduction dominant. Later, some of Pd atoms penetrated into cluster induced a further decrease. Surface were rearranged to local five-folded icosahedron structure (Ihp). gradually but did not segregate core. As result, core-shell observed, which could be explained by strong mixing nature Ag low kinetic energy.
Understanding the interface between organic and inorganic materials presents many challenges due to complex chemistries involved.
