Nanostructured Co(OH)2thin films were synthesized by a simple solution growth process. In experiment, F–and NH3were used as Co2+ordination agents, and hydroxyl ions were supplied by ammonia hydroxide solution for the hydrolysis reaction. The results showed that the solution pH and F/Co ratio had great influences on the morphologies of the thin films. The Co(OH)2thin films were constructed with lots of Co(OH)2nanoflakes. Nanostructured Co3O4 thin films were prepared by annealing the Co(OH)2thin films at 400°C for 2 h. The magnetic properties of Co3O4thin films were also investigated.

Hexagonal prismatic hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAP) was successfully prepared by a homogeneous precipitation method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrum, and scanning electron microscope. The growth process of the hexagonal prism was surveyed in detail based on the effects of the reaction time on the phase composition and the crystal morphology.

The synthesis and characterization of Ti and TiN thin films of different thicknesses was carried out on a martensitic stainless steel AISI 410 substrate used for tool manufacturing. The mechanical parameters between the interacting surfaces such as thickness, adhesion and hardness were measured. By means of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) the superficial morphology of the Ti/TiN interface was observed, finding that the growth was of columnar grains and by means of EDAX the existence of titanium was verified.  Using X-ray diffraction (XRD) it was possible to observe the presence of residual stresses (~ -3.1 GPa) due to the different crystalline phases in the coating. Under X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) it was possible to observe the molecular chemical composition of the coating surface, being Ti-N, Ti-N-O and Ti-O the predominant ones.
