Spontaneous pattern formation plays an important role in a wide variety of natural phenomena and materials systems. A key ingredient for the occurrence of modulated phases is the presence of competing interactions, generally of different physical origins. We demonstrate that in dipolar films, a prototypical system for pattern formation, patterns can be induced by dielectric effects alone. A rich phase diagram arises, where striped and circular morphologies emerge with geometric properties that can be controlled through variation of particle shape and substrate permittivity or permeability. These effects are particularly enhanced by metamaterial substrates.
Passivation of porous silicon sensors is a critical issue for achieving high sensitivity and selectivity toward biomolecule targets that may be detected in complex physiologic solution. Without appropriate passivation...

In present study, a simultaneous electrospinning and electrospraying(SEE) process was employed to produce microclusters of TiO2 nanoparticles and interlock them in nanofibrous network. The photocatalytic composite membranes(PCMs) were fabricated by electrospraying TiO2 nanoparticle suspension into microcluster form that dispersed and entrapped within nylon-6 electrospun fiber membrane. Three PCMs membrane with TiO2 content of 52.0, 83.6,and 91.7 wt.% were successfully fabricated. The membrane consisted of TiO2 microclusters,ranging in sizes from around 0.3 to 10 μm, distributed uniformly within the nylon-6 nanofibrous network. PCMs photocatalytic activity against Methylene Blue(MB) in aqueous solution showed more than 98% MB removal efficiency after 120 min of photocatalytic oxidation(PCO) for all PCMs. For PCM with the highest TiO2 content tested for 5 PCO cycles, it was found that most of their TiO2 content remained incorporated within the nanofibrous structure. The concept of nanoparticles clusters entrapment with SEE fabrication employed here provide a simple and effective method for reducing detachment of nanostructure phase from nanocomposite membrane.
In this work, nanometric Al2O3 (1-5 vol.%) particles (13 nm, 100 m2/g) were added to a 19.58Li2O•11.10ZrO2•69.32SiO2 (mol%) (3.5 µm, 2.5 m2/g) parent glass-ceramic matrix to prepare composites with the purpose of...
