One-dimensional (1D) hybrid nanostructures composed of silver/silver sulfide (Ag/Ag2S) and zinc sulfide (ZnS) were prepared by controllable migration of Ag species from the Ag nanowire (NW) core into the ZnS nanosheet shell. This Ag diffusion process can be manipulated by different concentrations of sulfur (thiourea) to realize various interspersio...

The formulation of innovative packaging solutions, exerting a functional antimicrobial role in slowing down food spoilage, is expected to have a significant impact on the food industry, allowing both the maintenance of food safety criteria for longer periods and the reduction of food waste. Different materials are considered able to exert the requi...
In this paper, we present a small (25x25x3 mm 3 ) power module that integrates two silicon-carbide (SiC) JFETs to form an inverter leg. This module has a sandwich" structure, i.e. the power devices are placed between two ceramic substrates, allowing for heat extraction from both sides of the dies. All interconnects are made by silver sintering, whi...

Colloidal silver nanoparticles were prepared via chemical reduction using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a reducing agent, stabiliser and solvent. Silver polyethylene nanocomposites were produced via two methods, namely: melt blending and layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition of silver nanoparticles onto a polyethylene film. The silver ion release from eit...
