          Abstract

          This review deals with different aspects of hydrophobicity at nanostructured surfaces. Theoretical and geometric effects as well as those of surface feature geometry on hydrophobicity are explored in this article. This review includes surface modification methods used to change surface hydrophobicity and effect on adhesion of cells as nano substrate. A small chapter is devoted to hydrophobicity at self-assembled monolayers as a special type of nanostructured surface. To the different models describing hydrophobicity is devoted one up to dated chapter. Calculation methods including quantum, density functional theory, and molecular modeling bring novel perspectives to the study of hydrophobicity at nanostructured surfaces.

            Metal oxides for optoelectronic applications

            Metal oxides (MOs) are the most abundant materials in the Earth's crust and are ingredients in traditional ceramics. MO semiconductors are strikingly different from conventional inorganic semiconductors such as silicon and III-V compounds with respect to materials design concepts, electronic structure, charge transport mechanisms, defect states, thin-film processing and optoelectronic properties, thereby enabling both conventional and completely new functions. Recently, remarkable advances in MO semiconductors for electronics have been achieved, including the discovery and characterization of new transparent conducting oxides, realization of p-type along with traditional n-type MO semiconductors for transistors, p-n junctions and complementary circuits, formulations for printing MO electronics and, most importantly, commercialization of amorphous oxide semiconductors for flat panel displays. This Review surveys the uniqueness and universality of MOs versus other unconventional electronic materials in terms of materials chemistry and physics, electronic characteristics, thin-film fabrication strategies and selected applications in thin-film transistors, solar cells, diodes and memories.
