Ordered mesoporous oxides obtained by combining sol-gel and self-assembly exhibit high
surface area, controlled porosity, monodisperse pores in the mesoscale and amorphous or …

In this work, hydroxylated Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (OH-MWCNTs) were embedded
in phenyl-trimethoxysilane (PTMS) sol-gel coating at different concentrations to improve the …

Cp-Ti is frequently used in biomedical applications because of its good corrosion and high
biocompatible properties. However, its poor wear resistance limits its use in some …

In this study, a sol–gel route has been designed for the synthesis of a hydrophobic organic–
inorganic polymer network used to protect mild steel substrate against corrosion in 3.5 wt …

Three-dimensional (3D) printing of hierarchically ordered cellular materials with tunable
microstructures is a major challenge from both synthesis and scalable manufacturing …

Since initially being reported, fluorinated silica nanometer-sized particles (F-SiNPs) have
gained much interest in the scientific community, due to their unique properties. These …

Static repellency and pressure resistance to liquids are essential for high‐performance
super‐omniphobic surfaces. However, these two merits appear mutually exclusive in …

Sol–gel coatings, thanks to the structural control at a molecular level, have a wide range of
applications. These materials are environmentally friendly and can be an effective …

Abstract Commercially pure titanium (Cp-Ti) is commonly used in different applications due
to its good structural properties but its low mechanical and tribological properties restrict its …

Additive printing techniques are regarded as revolutionary and versatile methods of
