Solar energy-based devices are protected using glass surfaces that need to be cleaned
periodically to maintain their desired optimum performance. If these devices are large and …

From civil to industrial engineering, coating can be found almost everywhere. In practical
application, the change of external environment causes coating cracks, resulting in the …

Green and environment-friendly preparation are of the utmost relevance to the development
of transparent antismudge coatings. To prepare a waterborne polyurethane (WPU) coating …

This review article focuses on the recent development of transparent self-cleaning coating
based on the glass panel application especially for the photovoltaic (PV) panel industry …

This work estimates that if the growth of polymer production continues at its current rate of
5% each year, the current annual production of 395 million tons of plastic will exceed 1000 …

It is challenging to prepare room temperature self-healing materials that balance self-
healing and mechanical properties. In this study, we introduces a concept of “asymmetric …

Considering a sustainable society, it is highly desirable to develop coatings that combine
excellent wear-resistance, healing and recovery capabilities with tunable mechanical …

The use of plant oil-coated paper could provide a greener approach to develop packaging
materials in contrast to reliance on synthetic polymer-coated paper such as that coated by …

The coatings prepared by current water-and oil-repellent strategies are prominently trapped
in fluorinated reagents, and most of these coatings performs poor optical transparency and …

Three different formulations of bio-based polyurethane (PU), varying the weight ratio
between Organosolv lignin and a commercial isocyanate, were synthesized. The coating …
