Review from Ringgold Inc., ProtoView:
Sixty-one papers from the June 2005 conference present recent research on the design, processing, and manufacturing of new materials for industrial and commercial applications. The primarily Malaysian contributors investigate oxide powder phosphors prepared by microwave heating, photoluminescence processes in the triplet state of phosphorescent organic materials, the surface morphology of anatase titanium dioxide derived by sol-gel, and PEO-KOH films plasticized with ethylene sulphite. Other topics include the molecular orientation of phospholipids Langmuir-Blodgett films, a gas sensor based on AlGaN, the effects of indium deposition on porous silicon nanostructure, and modification of epoxy resin using liquid natural rubber.
