Enhancing Environmental Stability and Transparency of Glass Coatings Using Silica Nanoparticles in the Sol‐Gel Process

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study presents a novel silica‐based sol‐gel coating enhance with silica nanoparticles to protect glass surfaces. By reducing formulation acidity and improving resistance to environmental alteration—especially with 50 nm particles and double‐dip application—the method creates a gentle yet effective protective barrier.

Crystallization Dynamics of Hybrid Perovskite Mediated by a Biopolymer: From Precursor Solution to Thin Film

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
In order to better understand the complex crystallization dynamics of starch‐assisted metal halide perovskites (MHPs), the properties of colloidal precursor suspensions and the thermodynamic evolution of the crystallization reaction are investigated by a comprehensive set of characterization techniques, from solutions to films.

Photonic Crystal Enhanced Microscopy on a 2D Photonic Crystal Surface

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This work demonstrates the design, fabrication, and the first‐time test of a 2D photonic crystal surface for photonic resonator absorption microscopy. The designed surface uniformly enhances electromagnetic near fields, achieving > 100% improved detecting uniformity for surface‐captured AuNPs from a blocking biosensor assay aimed for detecting SARS‐CoV‐

Anti‐Counterfeiting Tags with Camouflaged QR Codes on Nanocavities, Using Polymer‐Dispersed Liquid Crystals

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A QR code, printed through a commercial printer on a thin plastic foil, pre‐coated with a nanocavity is proposed as an anti‐counterfeiting label. Nanocavity imparts distinctive optical properties in terms of light reflection and transmission. A thin layer of polymer‐dispersed liquid crystals (PDLC) is used to camouflage the QR code, that become ...

Xerogel Films with Ordered Silica Nanorods Enable Fine‐Tuned Polarized Structural Colors in Modular Nanocomposite Films

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Xerogel films with aligned silica nanorods are prepared through a facile stretching and air‐drying approach. By controlling the alignment of silica nanorods and configuring multilayer film stacks, vibrant and tunable polarized structural colors with hues including green and orange are achieved.

(3+1)D Printing of Core–Clad Waveguide by Two‐Photon Polymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Low‐loss, single‐mode core–clad optical waveguides are fabricated using a novel (3+1)D multiphoton polymerization technique in a hybrid resin. Precise laser power control and multi‐pass exposure enable refractive index engineering and reduce scattering. Raman spectroscopy confirms the correlation between polymerization and index change.
