With increasing water pollution and human health problems caused by oily wastewater, the
fabrication of oil–water separation materials has become an urgent task. However, most of …

To improve the biological and water-barrier properties of gelatin film, we incorporated the
red roselle extract (RRE), ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO), and Litsea cubeba oil Pickering …

By designing and preparing multifunctional materials exhibiting self-healing ability,
problems related to their durability outdoors can be solved. This study, inspired by the self …

In the current work, rice straw nanofibers (RSNF) with the width of elementary fibrils (~ 4–5
nm) were isolated from rice straw. The isolated nanofibers were used with zinc oxide …

Droplet-based microfluidic technology has enabled the production of emulsions with high
monodispersity in sizes ranging from a few to hundreds of micrometers. Taking advantage of …

Ultraviolet radiation is extremely harmful to humans and often occurs in high-temperature
weather. The development of intelligent textiles based on UV protection and thermal …

Traditional treatment of cotton fabrics by multifunctional nanoparticles usually exhibits easy
aggregation and poor durability. Here, we utilize dopamine as a bio-based binder for cotton …

This study introduces a promising approach to stabilize high internal phase emulsions
(HIPEs) in which droplets are enveloped by octadecane (C18)-grafted bacterial cellulose …

In practical applications, cyclic heating and high temperature will worsen the stability of
nanofluids. To enhance the practical application of nanofluids for mid-temperature solar …

Herein, a facile method for the preparation of an acrylic resin-based superhydrophobic
coating is provided. Firstly, ZnO nanoparticles were modified with silane to obtain …
