ZnO nanomaterials with controlled size, shape and surface chemistry are required for applications
in diverse areas, such as optoelectronics, photocatalysis, biomedicine and so on. Here…

Thermally conductive flexible materials must be mechanically compatible with flexible electronic
devices. They must have a low Young's modulus, high tensile strength, and toughness, …

We have developed a thermally conductive flexible elastomer as a composite material with
slide-ring (SR) materials and boron nitride (BN) particles surface-modified via plasma in …

To develop flexible and tough composite materials with out-of-plane aligned thermally
conductive pathways, a novel freeze-casting method was developed using dimethyl sulfoxide (…

Aerosol deposition (AD) is a non-thermal ceramic coating process based on the impact
consolidation of ceramic particles upon impact with the substrate. AD forms dense, thick ceramic …

The slide-ring (SR) effect in composite materials is demonstrated by comparing the
mechanical properties of plasma-modified boron nitride (p-BN)/SR elastomers and p-BN/fixed …

Plasma processing in solution is effective for the preparation of composites. To optimize the
plasma processing in solution, a method that can be used to sufficiently evaluate the surface …

For the development of polysilsesquioxanes (PSQs) as organic–inorganic hybrid materials
for efficient thermal insulators, gaining a better understanding on the structure–thermal …

Although hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) is a thermally conductive and electrically insulating
filler in composite materials, surface modification remains difficult, which limits its …

The effect of liquid medium and its pressure on the photoluminescence of ZnO nanoparticles
prepared via laser ablation of Zn targets in various water–ethanol mixtures is studied. As …
