Abstract: A nanowire device and a method of making a nanowire device are provided. The device includes a plurality of nanowires functionalized with different functionalizing compounds. The method includes functionalizing the nanowires with a functionalizing compound, dispersing the nanowires in a polar or semi-polar solvent, aligning the nanowires on a substrate such that longitudinal axes of the nanowires are oriented about perpendicular to a major surface of the substrate, and fixing the nanowires to the substrate.

Abstract: A process for preparing an aqueous powder coating dispersion comprising components A and B, wherein component A is a binder resin or a mixture of binder resins and component B is a crosslinker or a mixture of crosslinkers or component A is a crosslinker or a mixture of crosslinkers and component B is a binder resin or a mixture of binder resins, wherein the process comprises the steps of: a) dispersing a composition comprising component A by the addition of an aqueous medium in a phase inversion emulsification process, b) adding component B simultaneously with or after the addition of the aqueous medium, and c) optionally mixing the obtained composition to obtain a dispersion comprising components A and B. The process enables the preparation of stable powder coating slurries with particles in the range from 50 to 800 nm.
