In many types of optoelectronic devices, layer of PEDOT: PSS is sandwiched between the indium-tin oxide (ITO) electrode and the active layer. Buffer PEDOT: PSS provides a well- defined work function which is higher than that of ITO (4.2eV), it smooths the ITO surface and so avoids shorts, and it also protects the active layer from ingress of indium or oxygen, leading to longer device lifetimes.

Thin‑film technology has become the cornerstone of modern sensor manufacturing, enabling the convergence of miniaturisation, multifunctionality, and cost‑effective mass production.

Corrosion represents a spontaneous physicochemical transformation in which metals revert to their more stable thermodynamic state, typically oxides, hydroxides, or sulfides, as a result of interaction with environmental elements.

The temperature performance profile of the plant extracts shows that inhibition efficiency increased with increasing temperature of the system until at about 323K at 9.00hrs immersion time where a decline in inhibition efficiency occurred implying the opposite at higher temperatures and longer immersion time.

Industrial flooring systems are essential for ensuring operational durability, safety, and longevity in demanding environments.

Thin polyurethane layers have been widely used as erosion-resistant coatings on helicopter rotor blades such as UH-60 Black Hawk and Eurocopter SA 315. Published research has mainly focused on empirical studies that relate the mechanical properties such as rebound resilience and hardness of polyurethane to solid particle erosion resistance. However, polyurethane possesses phase mixing at multiple scales and thus sand particle erosion resistance depends also on the microstructure and the phase mixing.
