Nano-coatings

Modal Transition in Nano-Coated Long Period Fiber Gratings Principle and Applications to Chemical Sensing... 

To experimentally prove the phenomenon of the modal transition and its effects on the sensitivity of nano-coated LPGs to SRI changes, the dip coating, as deposition technique, and the sPS, as HRI material, were used. Here the LPG sensitivity (different for each cladding mode) is defined as the gradient of the wavelength shift of the attenuation bands minima with respect to the SRI (d esj/dSRI).

The mechanical properties and chemical resistance of nano-coatings are significantly higher when using surfactants with terminal carboxyl groups.

This chapter deals primarily with monolayers of surfactants at fluid interfaces, but some attention is also given to (nano) coatings such as Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) and Langmuir-Schaefer (LS) films, self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), and layers obtained by alternating polyelectrolyte deposition. Such coatings may be applied for the functionalization of surfaces, for instance, to achieve biocompatibility of biomaterials, improve specificity and selectivity of biosensors and membranes, and control immobilization of enzymes or cells in bioreactors.
