Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) is needed for a variety of purposes due to its unique properties, including high hardness, thermal stability, large surface area, and light weight. Nevertheless, the use of AAO in different applications is limit...
In recent years, many research achievements in the field of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membranes can be observed. Nevertheless, it is still an interesting research topic due to its high versatility and applications in various fields, such as templat...
A concept of a nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane as a vibro-active micro/nano-filter in a micro hydro mechanical system for the filtration, separation, and manipulation of bioparticles is reported in this paper. For the fabrication of a...
Neurodegenerative disorders cause most physical and mental disabilities, and therefore require effective treatment. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) prevents drug molecules from crossing from the blood to the brain, making brain drug delivery diff...
Much attention has been paid to the surface modification of artificial skin barriers for the treatment of skin tissue damage. Chitosan is one of the natural materials that could be characterized by its biocompatibility. A number of methods for the pr...
Low-frequency acoustic fields—common in ventilation ducts, building façades, and industrial infrastructure—remain an underutilized source for ambient energy harvesting, particularly in humid environments where conventional contact-...
A novel and integrated membrane sensing platform for DNA detection is developed based on an anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane. Platinum electrodes (~50–100 nm thick) are coated directly on both sides of the alumina membrane to eliminate the soluti...
Nanowires of ferroelectric potassium niobate were grown by filling nanoporous templates of both side opened anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) through radiofrequency vacuum sputtering for multisensor fabrication. The precise geometrical ordering of the AAO...
In this paper, we report a simple fabrication process of whole Teflon superhydrophobic surfaces, featuring high-aspect-ratio (>20) nanowire structures, using a hot embossing process. An anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane is used as the embossing...
Synthetic nanopores were recently demonstrated with memristive and nonlinear voltage-current behaviors, akin to ion channels in a cell membrane. Such ionic devices are considered a promising candidate for the development of brain-inspired neuromorphi...
