Vertically aligned ZnO nano/submicrorods are grown on periodically polarity-inverted (PPI) ZnO templates by a solution-based growth method without any catalyst. For the selective growth of ZnO submicrorods, PPI ZnO structures are used for templates made by using a polarity control technique of ZnO with CrN and Cr2O3 intermediate layers. After syntheses of ZnO nanostructures on PPI ZnO, the vertically aligned ZnO rods were grown only onto the Zn-polar regions.

To improve the tribological properties of porous polyimide (PPI), ZDDP-mixed PAO4 was impregnated in PPI (denoted as ZPPI), and the tribological properties of ZPPI under single- and double-contacts were investigated. In the single-contact of ZPPI-steel, a rough and thick tribofilm was formed on the steel ball, which could protect the steel surface but resulted in large fluctuations in the friction coefficient. In the double-contact of ZPPI-steel-steel, ZDDP formed a uniform and thinner tribofilm on steel surfaces, leading to a lower friction.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have a wide range of unique properties, which have kept them at the forefront of research in recent decades. Due to their electrical and thermal characteristics, they are often evaluated as key components of thermogenerators. One can create thermogenerators exclusively from CNTs, without any metal counterpart, by properly selecting dopants to obtain n- and p-doped CNTs.

High-resolution patterning of quantum dot (QD) films is one of the preconditions for the practical use of QD-based emissive display platforms. Recently, inkjet printing and transfer printing have been actively developed; however, high-resolution patterning is still limited owing to nozzle-clogging issues and coffee ring effects during the inkjet printing and kinetic parameters such as pickup and peeling speed during the transfer process. Consequently, employing direct optical lithography would be highly beneficial owing to its well-established process in the semiconductor industry; however, exposing the photoresist (PR) on top of the QD film deteriorates the QD film underneath.

A simple approach to decorate multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)⁻reduced graphene oxide (RGO) hybrid nanoparticles with zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods is developed to improve the electrical and mechanical properties of poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/MWCNT⁻RGO composites. The ZnO nanorods act as "joint" in three-dimensional (3D) MWCNT⁻RGO networks and the hybrid particles strongly interact with PVC chains via p-π stacking, hydrogen bonds, and electrostatic interactions, which we confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman analysis. By introducing the ZnO nanorods, the RGO⁻ZnO⁻MWCNT hybrid particles increased 160% in capacitance compared with MWCNT⁻RGO hybrids.
