• Fabrication of super-hydrophobic surfaces for enhanced stone protection 

      Manoudis, P. N.; Tsakalof, A.; Karapanagiotis, I.; Zuburtikudis, I.; Panayiotou, C. (2009)
      In the current study, we demonstrate that the modification of a commercial siloxane protective composition by the addition of silica nanoparticles substantially enhances its protective efficiency and renders the treated ...
    • Superhydrophobic composite films produced on various substrates 

      Manoudis, P. N.; Karapanagiotis, I.; Tsakalof, A.; Zuburtikudis, I.; Panayiotou, C. (2008)
      Hydrophilic silica NOD nanoparticles were dispersed in solutions of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and in solutions of a commercial poly(alkyl siloxane) (Rhodorsil 224), and the suspensions were sprayed on glass surfaces. ...
    • Superhydrophobic films for the protection of outdoor cultural heritage assets 

      Manoudis, P. N.; Karapanagiotis, I.; Tsakalof, A.; Zuburtikudis, I.; Kolinkeova, B.; Panayiotou, C. (2009)
      A very simple method that can be used to impart superhydrophobicity to stone surfaces of monuments using common and low-cost materials that are already employed or are easy to be found by conservators is presented. A ...
    • Surface treatments in fluidized bed reactors 

      Tsipas, D. N.; Flitris, Y. (2000)
      Heat treatments of alloys in fluidized bed reactors have been carried out for more than twentyfive years. More recently this technology has been used for carrying out nitriding, carburizing and similar surface treatments. ...
