The fabrication of polyelectrolyte multilayer films (PEMs) using the Layer-by-Layer (LbL)
method is one of the most versatile approaches for manufacturing functional surfaces. This is …

Tackling membrane wetting is an ongoing challenge for large-scale applications of
membrane distillation (MD). Herein, composite Janus MD membranes comprising an …

The present chapter deals with a brief account on various types topics in polyelectrolyte:

In the field of coatings, there is a major trend towards the reduction of volatile organic
compounds by developing water-based alternatives for traditional solvent-based paints …

Because of its high sensitivity for light elements and the scattering contrast manipulation via
isotopic substitutions, neutron reflectometry (NR) is an excellent tool for studying the …

We have developed a unique surface force type apparatus that allows direct measurements
of the structure of a polymer layer under a confining pressure using neutron reflection. We …

An innovative method for achieving depletion‐free recombination layers (RLs) in inverted
