The field of hybrid materials has grown so wildly in the last 30 years that writing a
comprehensive review has turned into an impossible mission. Yet, the need for a general …

Molecular imprinting technology is a well-known strategy to synthesize materials with a
predetermined specificity. For fifty years, the “classical” approach assumed the creation of …

Transparent, hard, and flexible multifunctional coatings have a wide range of applications;
however, most of them need organic solvents. Here, we present a solvent-free and UV-cured …

This study deals with the Indigo Carmine (IC) dye removal using synthetic mesoporous
Titanium dioxide (TiO 2) nanoparticles. The surface charge investigation shows a pHzc …

Flexible surface protective coating in out-foldable devices should possess high elongation
with high surface hardness. However, the two characteristics in conventional protecting …

Simultaneous realization of superior mechanical and antifouling properties is critical for a
coating. The use of stereoscopic polysiloxanes in place of linear polysiloxanes to fabricate …

The pursuit of achieving both ceramic-like hardness and polymer-like flexibility in a coating,
known as a polymer–ceramic hybrid coating, is a challenging yet highly desirable goal. The …

Although foldable electronic devices have been commercially available for some time now,
flexible protective coating with sufficient reliability is yet to be achieved. The integration of …

Particle-coated liquid entities are the basis of many useful products, such as foams,
emulsions, bijels, and liquid marbles (LMs). Particles stabilized at the liquid–air interface …

Mankind has erected monoliths and stone structures for millennia to ensure stories and
culture are passed on to future generations. In the modern era, monuments and architecture …
