The relevance of usability with regard to Blended Shopping concepts is addressed in this paper. First an introduction into usability as a crucial acceptance factor for applications is given. Then Blended Shopping - the combination of traditional retail and eCommerce - in practice is analyzed. Research findings presented reveal that merchants do not apply Blended Shopping concepts in practice until...
Different polymer–metal nanocomposites, metal clusters on a polymer surface and for the first time also polymer/metal multilayers, were pulsed laser deposited at a wavelength of 248nm. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and Bisphenol A dimeth-acrylate (BisDMA), which strongly differ in their hardness of 3 and 180N/mm 2 , respectively, were taken as polymer components. Metals Ag and Cu were chosen...
In this paper we describe in short the main characteristics of the separate sales channels traditional retail and eCommerce with regards to the sales process of consumer goods. Afterwards we explain the integration of both channels to blended shopping. The behaviour of consumers is influenced by technology driven trends from which we identified the development of web 2.0 and social networks as relevant...
Smooth poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) films without any droplets were pulsed laser deposited at a wavelength of 248 nm and a laser fluence of 125 mJ/cm2. After deposition at room temperature, the films possess low universal hardness of only 3 N/mm2. Thermal treatments up to 200°C, either during deposition or afterwards, lead to film hardening up to values of 200 N/mm2. Using a combination of complementary...
