Organic compounds that exhibit little or no toxicity, have high solubility properties, and are
affordable are highly sought after as metal corrosion inhibitors. The key to formulating an …

The mechanical behaviors of polymer composites exhibit strong time-dependent
nonlinearities, and the tensile and compressive strengths can be vastly different. Such a …

Switchable wettability potential in smart fibers is of paramount importance in various
applications. Light-induced controllable changes in surface wettability have a significant role …

Polymer-based nanoparticle (NP) morphology and surface chemistry are important factors to
consider when it comes to their stability, biocompatibility, and biodistribution. Poly (2 …

Modified polymeric gels, including nanogels, which play not only the role of a bioinert matrix,
but also perform regulatory, catalytic, and transport functions due to the active fragments …

Pickering emulsions (PEs) offer enhanced stability and reduced toxicity compared to
conventional emulsions. Recent advances in polymer chemistry have introduced poly (2 …

Many water-soluble polymers undergo phase separation above their lower critical solution
temperature (LCST) in aqueous solutions. Generally, the LCST is controlled via the polymer …
