ABSTRACTThis work developed a metal-reinforced ceramic membrane processing approach [by using perovskite La0.2Sr0.8 CoO3-x (LSCO-80) as the model membrane] with the aim of overcoming the membrane-cracking problem. A thin layer of Ag/Pd alloy was incorporated into the LSCO-80 membrane made by dip coating and sintering. It is not viable to obtain a Pd/Ag alloy film using the co-plating method because Ag+ ion strongly inhibits chemical reduction of Pd2+ ion, and the alkaline plating bath causes severe etching of LSCO-80. This obstacle was circumvented through a layer-by-layer deposition procedure, in which Ag and Pd layers were deposited subsequently onto LSCO membrane. The Ag and Pd layers undergo alloying when the laminar structure was subjected to calcinations at 1000°C. It was found that the Pd/Ag alloy drifts beneath into pores in the LSCO layer. The resultant metal-ceramic composite membrane shows excellent structural integrity and free of micro-cracks.

A new colorimetric sensor based on gold/silver bimetallic nanoparticles (Au–Ag BNPs) for the sensitive and selective detection of mercury (II) was developed. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were synthesized by Turkevich method. The surface modification of AuNPs was modified by the layer–by–layer technique using poly(diallyl dimethylammonium chloride) which provided positively charged of AuNPs. Negatively charged silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized by chemical reduction using poly(4–styrenesulfonic acid–co–maleic acid) as the stabilizing agent. The layer–by–layer assembly deposition technique was used to prepare Au–Ag BNPs of positively and negatively charged of AuNPs and AgNPs, respectively. The synthesized Au–Ag BNPs were characterized by a UV-visible spectrophotometer, zeta potential analyzer, FT–IR, TEM, XRD, and EDX. The Au–Ag BNPs sensor was able to detect mercury (II) in aqueous solution, visibly changing from brownish–orange to purple. The linear relationships of the UV-visible spectrometry demonstrate that the Au–Ag BNPs-based colorimetric sensor can be used for the quantitative analysis of mercury (II) in the range of 0.5–80 mg L−1, with the correlation coefficient, r2 = 0.9818. The limit of detection (LOD) of mercury (II) was found to be 0.526 + 0.001 mg L−1. The BNPs is also verified to have a good practical applicability for mercury (II) detection in the real samples.

Silver nanoparticles were deposited on glass slides and surgical suture as antibacterial agent. The silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction with sodium borohydride and using a synthetic polyelectrolyte as capping agent. Poly (4-styrenesulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) sodium salt PSSMA was used to stabilize the silver nanoparticles and provide an anionic surface charge which then allowed the layer-by-layer deposition method with poly (dially dimethyl ammonium chloride) PDADMAC. Various concentration of capping agent were used to prepare the silver nanoparticles which were then deposited on glass slide and surgical suture. The layer-by-layer deposition of the nanoparticles was studied using UV-Vis spectroscopy by monitoring the intensity of the characteristic Plasmon band of the nanoparticles at 400nm. The leaching of the silver nanoparticles in buffered solutions of pH 3,7 and 9 was monitored by recording the decrease in absorbance of silver nanoparticles film as a function of time for each pH solutions and each capping concentrations. Finally, suture material coated with silver nanoparticles were tested for their antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and results showed that all coated sutures had more than 99% bacterial reduction. So these suture material could be applied to use in medical products for promoted wound healing and decreased bacterial colony leading to relieve inflammation of patient.

This paper reports the first effort to synthesize a new class of inorganic nanostructured materials consisting of alternating ultrathin layers of nanoclays and oxide ceramics. A novel solution-based layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition technique was developed to prepare multilayers of hydrated Zr cations and nanoclays. This LBL deposition technique is devised by integrating an electrostatic-mediated dip coating method for making nanoclay-polymer multilayers with a successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction method for making ultrathin oxide films. Nanostructured clay-zirconia multilayer composites formed through subsequent annealing. Characterization by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction confirmed that these films are uniform and crack-free, consist of no detectable impurities, and possess nanoscale-layered structure. The incorporation of nanoclays facilitates the electrostatic-mediated assembling of multilayers, enhances the structural integrity, and provides a generic framework to construct functionally graded materials. Potential applications are envisaged.

Cold spraying (CS) is a solid-state layer-by-layer deposition technique, allowing to fabricate complex-shaped metallic components, such as metal matrix composites (MMCs). It has been demonstrated that introduction of a nacre-like nanolaminated architecture in man-made MMCs can perfectly beat the conflict between strength and ductility (toughness). In this work, the fully dense carbon nanotubes (CNTs) reinforced Al6Si (hereafter called CNT/Al6Si) MMC with the nanolaminated architecture is successfully realized by flake powder metallurgy followed by CS. It is revealed that the nanolaminated architecture, containing nanosized grains, is properly created in the CNT/Al6Si flaky powder by ball milling, which is then conserved in the CS-processed component. The harmful excessive formation of Al4C3 due to interfacial reaction is limited and structural integrity of initially incorporated CNTs is well retained.

<div>Atomic layer deposition (ALD) of LiF and lithium ion conducting (AlF<sub>3</sub>)(LiF)<sub>x</sub> alloys was developed using trimethylaluminum, lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) and hydrogen fluoride derived from HF-pyridine solution. ALD of LiF was studied using in situ quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and in situ quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) at reaction temperatures between 125°C and 250°C. A mass gain per cycle of 12 ng/(cm<sup>2</sup> cycle) was obtained from QCM measurements at 150°C and decreased at higher temperatures. QMS detected FSi(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>3</sub> as a reaction byproduct instead of HMDS at 150°C. LiF ALD showed self-limiting behavior. Ex situ measurements using X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) showed a growth rate of 0.5-0.6 Å/cycle, in good agreement with the in situ QCM measurements.</div><div>ALD of lithium ion conducting (AlF3)(LiF)x alloys was also demonstrated using in situ QCM and in situ QMS at reaction temperatures at 150°C A mass gain per sequence of 22 ng/(cm<sup>2</sup> cycle) was obtained from QCM measurements at 150°C. Ex situ measurements using XRR and SE showed a linear growth rate of 0.9 Å/sequence, in good agreement with the in situ QCM measurements. Stoichiometry between AlF<sub>3</sub> and LiF by QCM experiment was calculated to 1:2.8. XPS showed LiF film consist of lithium and fluorine. XPS also showed (AlF<sub>3</sub>)(LiF)x alloy consists of aluminum, lithium and fluorine. Carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen impurities were both below the detection limit of XPS. Grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) observed that LiF and (AlF<sub>3</sub>)(LiF)<sub>x</sub> alloy film have crystalline structures. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) and ionic chromatography revealed atomic ratio of Li:F=1:1.1 and Al:Li:F=1:2.7: 5.4 for (AlF<sub>3</sub>)(LiF)<sub>x</sub> alloy film. These atomic ratios were consistent with the calculation from QCM experiments. Finally, lithium ion conductivity (AlF<sub>3</sub>)(LiF)<sub>x</sub> alloy film was measured as σ = 7.5 × 10<sup>-6</sup> S/cm.</div>
