© 2020 Elsevier LtdThe demand for flexibility in transparent conductive electrodes(TCEs) is increasing due to the functionality demand and convenience of deformable electrodes. The high-cost and brittleness of the conventional indium tim oxide (ITO) films are obstacles to their utilization in TCEs. Metal nanowires are highly promising as substitutes for ITO. Metal nanowire electrodes achieved high-conductivity, high-transparency, and high-stretchability through the development of fabrication technology. Nevertheless, it is challenging to prevent their degradation by the external environment, intensive investigations that can improve the stability are required. Among measures to improve stability, a protective-layer coating on metal nanowires is shown to be a very effective way. Therefore, it is essential to organize the development of protective layer-coating. This review compiles coating methods of stable materials (overall coverage coating, core-shell coating, junction enhancement coating), and the obtained TCE performances. Electrical properties such as sheet resistance, transmittance conjunction with the enhanced stability are discussed. Finally, the recent progress in TCE applications based on improved stability metal nanowires are discussed concisely. Various applications of improved stability nanowires such as solar-cell, supercapacitor, and transparent heaters are considered and their performances as well as fabrication protocols are disclosed.

Investigation of as-quenched and tempered commercial steels by Magnetic Barkhausen Noise method
Gür, Cemil Hakan; Çam, İbrahim (Inderscience Publishers, 2006-01-01)
This study aims to characterise as-quenched and tempered steels by the Magnetic Barkhausen Noise method, and to contribute to optimisation of heat treatment processes. Identical austenitisation and quenching procedures were applied to SAE 1040 and SAE 4140 specimens to eliminate the effect of grain size. Samples were tempered at 200°C and 600°C for 2 hours. Microstructures were characterised by metallographic examinations and hardness measurements. Amplitude, position and frequency spectrum of signals were ...
Simulation of equal channel angular pressing applied to produce structures with ultrafine-sized grains
Karpuz, Pinar; Şimşir, Caner; Gür, Cemil Hakan (Inderscience Publishers, 2009-01-01)
Severe plastic deformation methods are of great interest in industrial forming applications, as they give rise to significant refinement in microstructures and improvements in mechanical and physical properties. In the 'equal channel angular pressing (ECAP)', which is the most common method for production of ultrafine grained bulk samples, very high plastic strains are introduced into the bulk material without any change in cross section. In this study, the plastic deformation behaviour of the materials sub...
Ambient synthesis of nanomaterials by in situ heterogeneous metal/ligand reactions
Chang, Boyce S.; Thomas, Brijith; Chen, Jiahao; Tevis, Ian D.; Karanja, Paul; Çınar, Simge; Venkatesh, Amrit; Rossini, Aaron J.; Thuo, Martin M. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2019-08-07)
Coordination polymers are ideal synthons in creating high aspect ratio nanostructures, however, conventional synthetic methods are often restricted to batch-wise and costly processes. Herein, we demonstrate a non-traditional, frugal approach to synthesize 1D coordination polymers by in situ etching of zerovalent metal particle precursors. This procedure is denoted as the heterogeneous metal/ligand reaction and was demonstrated on Group 13 metals as a proof of concept. Simple carboxylic acids supply the etch...
Electrostatic Stabilization of Alumina Nanopowder Suspensions
Çınar, Simge (American Scientific Publishers, 2014-03-01)
Electrostatic stabilization has an impact on a broad range of applications. Previous research has shown that concentrated alumina nanopowder suspensions can be stabilized at specific ranges of ionic strength and pH. This study investigated the stability of alumina nanopowder suspensions in terms of viscosity measurements as a function of different electrolyte concentration and suspension pH. Using alumina nanopowders with an average particle size of about 50 nm, stable suspensions were obtained with 0.020 ≤...
Resonance-Based Temperature Sensors using a Wafer Level Vacuum Packaged SOI MEMS Process
Aydın, Gülşah Demirhan; Akın, Tayfun (VBRI Press AB, 2020-01-01)
This paper reports the development of resonance-based temperature sensors using a wafer level vacuum packaged SOI MEMS process which is normally used to implement various MEMS sensors, including MEMS gyroscopes and accelerometers. Implementing MEMS temperature sensors in such a MEMS process together with sensitive MEMS sensors allows obtaining temperature data, which is very useful for the compensation of a number of parameters of these MEMS sensors for obtaining improved performance from these sensors.
