Depending on the fact that most pillared clays show poor thermal stability, the study on the synthesis of novel Si-pillared montmorillonites (Si-MMT) with high thermal stability have been carried out. Furthermore, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformation infra-red spectra (FTIR), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms were applied in order to study the thermal stability and mechanisms...
Nanoelectromechanical cantilevers have achieved unprecedented sensitivity in the detection of displacement, mass, force and charge. Although resonating cantilevers are demonstrated to be excellent mass sensors, environmental effects like humidity, ambient gases and contamination result in uncertainty in the calculation of either adsorbed mass or mechanical properties due to shifts in resonance frequencies...
Capacitive humidity sensors were fabricated using countersunk interdigitated electrodes coated with amorphous nanostructured TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3 thin films grown by glancing angle deposition. The capacitive response and response times for each sensor were measured. The sensor utilizing TiO2 exhibited the largest change in capacitance, increasing exponentially from ~ 1 nF to ~ 1muF for an increase...
A new getter, we call it nanogetter, based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) coated Ti films has been developed with the purpose of providing a more efficient material, capable of getting active at high vacuum environment (< 10-3Torr, molecular state) and low temperature (<400 degC). Because of the large surface area of CNTs and its native gas adsorption ability, dense CNTs growth on silicon substrate...
