Solar Cells Enhanced with Metal Nanoparticles

In recent years there is an increasing interest in developing new approaches to improve the efficiency of photovoltaic cells (solar cells). Silicon is the most widely used material for solar cells and is due to its abundance in nature, stability, non-toxicity and well established refining and processing technologies [1]. Even though commercial single crystalline silicon solar…

Filled Liquid Crystals

Nematic liquid crystalline polymers (LCP’s) are interesting anisotropic fluids, which may have some orientational order at rest (molecules tend to align in the same direction). Those polymers may be useful to obtain oriented materials with excellent mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Its rheological, mechanical and optical properties may be changed by the particle inclusion, depending…

Webinars

For those who are always looking for new educational tools and to stay up to date, recently I though of sharing with all of you that these days I have learned lots of new things.  How was this?  I registered in many FREE webinars. What is a webinar??? Webinar is short for Web-based seminar.  Is…
