Costs associated with bacterial infections in medical devices exceed $ US 30 billion each
year in the United States alone due to device revisions and patient treatment. Likewise, in …

Hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO) thin films coated quartz crystal microbalance (QCM)
electrodes have been characterized for the detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) …

The paper presents the results of testing the mechanical properties of carbon coatings
synthesised on a PDMS substrate by radio frequency plasma with various RF power. The …

Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) is increasingly used as a bulk material due to
its characteristics, such as fabricability, low weight and low cost. The objective of the present …

Chemical sensors generally suffer from the cross-sensitivity problem. For this purpose, the
identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) using unselective sensor requires a …

Integration and implementation of organic polymer thin films often require knowledge of the
stability when in contact with solvents and the adhesion quality when applied to different …

Plasma polymerized tetraethoxysilane (ppTEOS) thin films deposited on quartz crystal
microbalance (QCM) electrode were used as sensitive layer for the detection of a number of …

Deposition of silicon oxycarbide (SiCOH) thin films by remote plasma atomic layer
deposition was performed. In the experiment, the recipe was composed by adjusting the …

Billions of dollars are spent annually worldwide to combat the adverse effects of bacterial
attachment and biofilm formation in industries as varied as maritime, food, and health. While …

In this study, a gate dielectric suitable for application in field effect transistors (FETs) was
synthesized. Gate dielectrics were deposited using cyclohexane via plasma-enhanced …
