We fabricate and characterize silver (Ag) line patterns obtained by means of the drop-on-demand inkjet printing technique. We use a very simple and cost-effective reduction reaction of silver nitrate (AgNO3) aqueous solution deposited on different substrates, namely flexible polyimide (Kapton®), alumina and insulating glass ceramics (Macor®)....

We investigated the deposition of (HO)2-PO-S-(CH2)15-COOH on TiO2. The phosphonate group has been chosen to serve as the anchoring moiety while the carboxylic group can be exploited for further coupling with antibacterial peptides. Native oxide-covered polished Ti samples were used as substrates for the molecular deposition. Previous to...

The use of amorphous, SiO2-TiO2nanolayered coatings has been proposed recently for the mirrors of 3rd-generation interferometric detectors of gravitational waves, to be operated at low temperature. Coatings with a high number of low-high index sub-units pairs with nanoscale thickness were found to preserve the amorphous structure for high...
