In ambient atmospheres, aluminum becomes rapidly coated with a compact 2–3 nm thick
oxide layer. This native oxide layer prevents the metal surface from further oxidation …

Highly transparent and flexible triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) were fabricated using
the subwavelength-architectured (SWA) polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with a nanoporous …

The signal enhancement of an easy to fabricate, nanoporous alumina assisted surface
plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor is investigated. It is theoretically shown that the presence …

In the last decade, the number of possible biological and biomedical applications suggested
in the literature for anodic porous alumina has increased significantly. Here we shortly …

Enhancing Raman signals of living cells has long been a challenge, and so far it has been
achieved in most cases through cell labeling with gold nanoparticles. This work …

We have fabricated anodic porous alumina from thin films (100/500 nm) of aluminium
deposited on technological substrates of silicon/glass, and investigated the feasibility of this …

Highly-ordered and hexagonal-shaped nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) of 1 μm
thickness of Al pre-deposited onto Si substrate using two-step anodization was successfully …

Integration of micro and nanofabrication techniques with biotechnology has resulted in the
development of in vitro analytical and diagnostic tools for biomedical applications. The focus …

We report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of MIM capacitors using as
dielectric a thin porous anodic alumina layer between two Al films. The Al 2 O 3/Al stack is …

Anodic porous alumina (APA) is a nanostructured material used as a template in several
nanotechnological applications. We propose the use of APA in ultra-thin form (< 100 nm) for …
