Perspective of the Structuration Process Use in the Optoelectronics, Solar Energy, and Biomedicine

Abstract

In the current chapter, the results of the optimized organic and inorganic materials features have been presented and discussed under the conditions when the material volumetric body and their surfaces have been structured. The dramatic change of the main characteristics of the inorganic matrix which surface has been modified with oriented carbon nanotubes and additionally treated by surface electromagnetic waves has been established. The transmittance and reflection spectral change, of the micro-hardness and of the wetting angle increase have been discussed due to the covalent bonding of the carbon nanotubes with the near-surface materials layers. Analytic and molecular dynamics simulations have supported the data. The essential change of the basic macro-parameters of the organic matrix, including the liquid crystal one, via their structuration with the nano-and/or bio-objects such as the fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, shungites, quantum dots, graphene oxides, DNA has been found. The spectral, photorefractive, and photoconductive characteristics modification has been discussed due to the drastic increase of the dipole moment. The laser-induced change of the refractive index has been considered as the indicator of the basic materials macro-parameters changing. It has been predicted that a scientific knowledge and the technology advances can be useful for the solar energy, display technique, for the system to absorb the gas and impurities, for the schemes with the compacted information recording as well as for the biomedicine.

Introductory Chapter: Why the Study of Fullerenes is so Important?

“…It provokes the dramatic increase of the transparency, mechanical hardness, laser strength, wetting angle, etc. parameters [23][24][25][26][27].…”
