The potential of nano-structured silicon oxide type coatings deposited by PACVD for control of aquatic biofouling.

SiO[sub]x-like coatings were deposited on glass slides from a hexamethylsiloxane precursor by PACVD Surface energies (23.1-45.7 mJ m[sup]{-1}) were correlated with the degree of surface oxidation and hydrocarbon contents. The results indicate potential for further investigation of these coatings for applications such as heat exchangers and optical instruments

Micrometer-Sized Specimen Preparation Based on Ion Slicing Technique

The ion slicing technique has been well known for producing samples for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations. It is shown that this method can also be used for producing different types of samples for micro-mechanical experiments.
