Microplastics refer to plastic fibers, particles or films less than 5 mm in diameter. Textile
microplastics are an important form of microplastics, which can harm the ecological …

Two new anionic silicone surfactants were synthesized for the first time from
dichloromethylvinylsilane or trichlorovinylsilane through hydrolysis‐condensation and then …

We investigated the presence of per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in woven and
nonwoven polypropylene geotextiles and four nonwoven polyester geotextiles commonly …

This chapter reviews the molecular structure, synthesis, interfacial activity, bulk aqueous
solution behavior, and commercial applications of silicone surfactants. While providing a …

The goal of this work was to use molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to build amorphous
surface layers of polypropylene (PP) and cellulose and to inspect their physical and …

The nanomechanical properties of various polymer binders for lithium-ion batteries were
assessed using colloidal probe atomic force microscopy (AFM) in air and in electrolyte. The …

Using ultrathin surface coatings of water-soluble polymers to modify interfacial friction is
relatively new, but may offer routes to form beneficial coatings while using significantly lower …

A series of sulfonate-based silicone surfactants with different hydrophobic groups were
synthesized. Two synthetic strategies are introduced to permit exquisite control over the …

Silicone additives are often added to coating formulations for improved slip and mar
performance. However, the relationship between the chemical structure of silicone slip/mar …

Reliable and long-lasting water repellency, ideally based on fluorine-free additives, is a
desired utility in functional textiles, eg, for outdoor active wear, workwear, and even …
