Besides usual coupling agents such as, for instance, silane, thiol, or carboxylic acids,
phosphonated-based low molecular weight molecules and polymers appear of great interest …

The formation of octadecylphosphonic acid (ODPA) self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and
their stability in water has been studied on four distinctly different aluminum oxide surfaces …

Combustion analysis of three different thermites consisting of aluminum (Al) particles with
and without surface functionalization combined with molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) was …

Aluminum has recently attracted considerable interest as a plasmonic material due to its
unique optical properties, but most work has been limited to nanostructures. We report here …

The preparation of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of organophosphonic acids on
indium tin oxide (ITO) surfaces from different solvents (triethylamine, ethyl ether …

In this work, we propose an original strategy for the functionalization of aluminum
nanoparticles (Al NPs), based on a combination of aryl diazonium salt chemistry and the …

With growing interest in the development of new composite systems for a variety of
applications that require easily processable materials and adequate structural properties …

In this study, a new approach of copper surface modification, taking advantage of the oxide
layer naturally present, is proposed using phosphonic acids derivatives. Phosphonic acids …

A contaminant-free surface of single-crystal α-Al2O3 (or sapphire) substrates is key to the
experimental studies of its surface and interfacial properties at ambient conditions. Here we …

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a potential oxidizer for aluminum powders as well as an
excellent binder. The strong electronegative fluorine within the polymer can react with the …
