    UV-curable organic/inorganic hybrid nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized with polymer monomers (tetramethoxysi lane (TMOS)/3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS)) nano-fillers (silica/alumina), curing agents (bisphenol A (BPA)), and photoinitiators (triaryl sulfonium hexafluoroantimonate (TSH)) by in situ polymerization. Their thermal stability, coefficient of thermal expansion (CFE), adhesion strength, and gas barrier capability have also been investigated with thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), thermomechanical analysis (TMA), micro-computer universal testing machine and moisture penetration tests. Experimental results indicate that nano-fillers are completely homogeneously dispersed in the polymer matrices and the increase of nano-fillers in the nanocomposites causes the raise of decomposition temperature (Td) as well as gas resistance and the reduction of CTE as well as adhesion strength. Because lab-made organic/inorganic hybrid nanocomposites have been discovered to exhibit excellent gas barrier properties, we have also applied them for the encapsulation of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and flexible OLEDs. With lab-made nanocomposite cl, the lifetimes of OLEDs and flexible OLEDs can be successfully lengthened to 92 and 36 h, respectively, whereas those of OLEDs and flexible OLEDs without encapsulation are 11 and 7 h, respectively.

    In this work, color/luminance tunable organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) (ITO glass/naphthyl phenyl benzidine (NPB; 80 nm)/4,4'-bis(diphenylvinylenyl)-biphenyl (ADS082BE; 35 nm)/1,3-bis[2-(2,2'-bipyridine-6-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazo-5-yl]benzene (Bpy-OXD; 20 nm)/tris-[8-hydroxy-quinoline]aluminum (Alq(3); 50 nm)/lithium fluoride (LiF; 3 nm)/aluminum (Al, 80 nm)) with low turn-on voltage (3 V) and high luminance (4850 cd/m(2) at 9 V) have been successfully manufactured. The experimental results reveal that their electroluminescent properties (e.g. hue, luminescent intensity, etc.) can be modulated by the manipulation for the layer thickness of NPB/ADS082BE/Bpy-OXD and the applied voltages. In addition, we have also demonstrated lab-made UV-curable silicone-acrylate encapsulating resin exhibits excellent gas barrier capability so that the half-lifetimes of OLEDs reach 98 h whereas those without encapsulation are only 9 h.

    Growth Mechanism of Self-Assembled TixWyO Nanotubes Fabricated by TiW Alloy Anodization

    Nanostructures, such as nanodots and nanorods, have been fabricated by the anodization process with an aid of anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) for several decades. However, tubular nanostructures have not been reported by using an AAO-assistant anodization technology until now. In this study, we successfully synthesized self-organized TixWyO nanotubes with cap structures for the first time by using a two-step anodization process from Al-coated TiW alloy layers. The TixWyO nanotubes were observed only in the shaped pores of AAO with large enough pore size, and otherwise the nanostructures would become solid rods due to the aggregation of TixWyO. The wall of nanotubes was similar to 30% inside the pores and the other similar to 70% penetrated into the AAO template. Furthermore, no tubular nanostructures were found unless the percentage of W element in TiW alloys is larger than 50%, attributing to the formation of a void by oxygen bubbles arising from the oxidation reaction of tungsten metal. Besides, the height of the nanotubes is limited by an electric field of 0.82 GV/m due to the dielectric breakdown effect. Finally, a bottom-up growth mechanism at the oxide/metal interface is proposed, based on the observation of the cap structure on the top of the tubular architecture. (C) The Author(s) 2018.

    This work demonstrates the use of lithium fluoride (LiF) as a passivation layer and newly developed UV glue for encapsulation on the LiF passivation layer to enhance the stability of organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Devices with double protective layers showed a 25-fold increase in operational lifetime compared to those without any packaging layers. LiF has a low melting point and insulating characteristics and it can be adapted as both a protective layer and preencapsulation film. The newly developed UV glue has a fast curing time of only 6 s and can be directly spin-coated onto the surface of the LiF passivationlayer. The LiF thin film plus spin-coated UV glue is a simple packaging method that reduces the fabrication costs of OLEDs.

    The lifetimes of organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been Successfully enhanced with the modulation of LiF thickness mid the utilization of encapsulating adhesives, which have been successfully and synthesized with UV irradiation. Experimental results demonstrate that LiF and lab-made encapsulating adhesives can block the invasion of moisture as well as oxygen in the atmosphere into the OLEDs so that the lifetimes of devices with their encapsulation are 18-folds longer than those without encapsulation.
