In this paper we discuss the performance of colloidal silica antireflection coatings which have been developed for use in high-power KrF and Nd:glass lasers. These coatings have reproducibly given transmissions of more than 99.8% per surface and have exhibited laser damage thresholds as high as 20 J/cm(2)for l-ns pulses at 1.06,microm and 8 J/cm(2)for 10-ns pulses at 0.25,microm. These damage thresholds are a factor of between 2 and 3 better than values obtained with evaporated oxide AR coatings. Novel multilayer coatings incorporating colloidalsilica as the low-index layer are also described. One such coating gave more than 50% reflectivity for a two-layer coating at normal incidence.

Rare earth elements (REEs) are crucial metallic resources that play an essential role in national economies and industrial production. The reclaimation of REEs from wastewater stands as a significant supplementary strategy to bolster the REEs supply. Adsorption techniques are widely recognized as environmentally friendly and sustainable methods for the separation of REEs from wastewater.

Unwanted nonspecific adsorption caused by biomolecules influences the lifetime of biomedical devices and the sensing performance of biosensors. Previously, we have designed B-M-E triblock proteins that rapidly assemble on inorganic surfaces (gold and silica) and render those surfaces antifouling. The B-M-E triblock proteins have a surface-binding domain B, a multimerization domain M and an antifouling domain E.

Phosphorus (P)-doping H-ZSM-5 zeolites, which is crucial for industrial applications, aim to adjust both acidity and framework stability while optimizing product distribution in heterogeneous catalysis. Nonetheless, current phosphating methods often suffer from inadequate phosphorus dispersion and unclear interfacial interactions with framework aluminum (Al). In this work, P-doping ZSM-5 zeolites were successfully one-step prepared by using tributylphosphine served as an organophosphorus precursor, assisting by density functional theory calculations.

Solid supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) serve as an excellent platform for biophysical studies. However, the formation of highly negatively charged SLBs on negatively charged surfaces remains a challenge due to electrostatic repulsion. Here, we study the effects of ionic strength and osmotic stress on the formation of highly negatively charged SLBs on the silica surface.

Water-based acrylic emulsions are a crucial component of water-based ink. Preventing visible cracks in emulsion coating during drying is a great challenge due to the high polarity and high surface tension of water. Herein, we propose that the cracking resistance of the coating can be enhanced through the incorporation of hydrophobic silica nanoparticles.
