Advanced thin-layer coating for superior UV resistance in polymers

Researcher: Assoc. Prof. Tamar Segal-Peretz

Plastics are highly susceptible to UV radiation, leading to degradation, reduced lifespan, discoloration and frequent replacements. Traditional solutions, such as UV stabilizers, absorbers, antioxidants, and thick coatings, often come with limitations—altering mechanical properties, requiring chemical compatibility, or relying on heavily...

Single-photon quantum dot sources embedded in polymeric waveguides

Researcher: Associate Prof. Yehonadav Bekenstein

Known single photon sources are hard to make and demands high vacuum and high temperatures. As such their production costs are extremally high. Moreover they need to be placed or fabricated on top of a photonic waveguiding structure. A novel...
