AbstractA novel technique was developed to create superhydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface using nanosecond pulse electron deposition (PED) technique. The PTFE or Teflon thin films deposited on silicon substrate showed superhydrophobicity evidenced by the contact angle of 166±2 degrees. The SEM micrographs reveal the clustered growth of the deposited film and two level sub-micron asperities which is corroborated by the AFM. FTIR and contact angle studies were conducted to study the chemical nature and the wetting properties of the films.

Nanostructured zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were prepared through sol-gel method and spin-coating technique. ZnO thin films then were annealed at temperature of 350°C, 400°C, 450°C and 500°C. The thin films were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and photoluminescence (PL) spectrofluorometer for morphology and optical properties study. The morphology study indicates that the particle size of ZnO increased with annealing temperatures. All thin films are optically transparent (~ 80 % in transmittance) in the visible light-NIR region. PL spectra reveal improved UV emission with annealing temperatures up to 500°C.
