Features of Functionalization of the Surface of Alumina Nanofibers by Hydrolysis of Organosilanes on Surface Hydroxyl Groups.

Small additions of nanofiber materials make it possible to change the properties of polymers. However, the uniformity of the additive distribution and the strength of its bond with the polymer matrix are determined by the surface of the nanofibers. Silanes, in particular, allow you to customize the surface for better interaction with the matrix.

Structural, Optical, and Electronic Properties of Cu-Doped TiNO Grown by Ammonothermal Atomic Layer Deposition.

Copper-doped titanium oxynitride (TiNO) thin films were grown by atomic layer deposition (ALD) using the TiCl precursor, NH, and O at 420 °C. Forming gas was used to reduce the background oxygen concentration and to transfer the copper atoms in an ALD chamber prior to the growth initiation of Cu-doped TiNO. Such forming gas-mediated Cu-doping of TiNO films had a pronounced effect on their resistivity, which dropped from 484 ± 8 to 202 ± 4 μΩ cm, and also on the resistance temperature coefficient (TCR), which decreased from 1000 to 150 ppm °C.
