Urban overheating is the most documented phenomenon of climate change impacting
humans. This article presents the most recent developments on the magnitude and …

A discrete random medium is an object in the form of a finite volume of a vacuum or a
homogeneous material medium filled with quasi-randomly and quasi-uniformly distributed …

To improve inkjet printing performance, surface single encapsulation of nano-TiO2 particles
has widely been reported. However, surface single encapsulation has a limited effect on …

Inorganic pigments have been very important substances for human life for thousands of
years. They have contributed and continue to contribute to the beautification of our daily life …

Cool coatings are solar reflective coatings and are applied on roofs, facades, and other
exterior surfaces. In this work, the effect of polymer encapsulation was investigated aiming to …

The terms “independent” and “dependent” scattering are ubiquitous in the
phenomenological discipline of light scattering by particulate media. Yet there is a wide …

Discrete random media have been investigated extensively over the past century due to
their ability to scatter light. Even so, the link between the three-dimensional (3D) spatial …

The dependent scattering effect (DSE), which arises from the wave nature of
electromagnetic radiation, is a critical mechanism affecting the radiative properties of …

Fundamental knowledge of scattering in granular compacts is essential to ensure accuracy
of spectroscopic measurements and determine material characteristics such as size and …

Abstract Submicron-sized SiO2/Al2O3 (Si/Al)-coated titanium dioxide (Si/Al-TiO2) particles
were encapsulated through the emulsion copolymerization of methacrylates using a …
