Pesticide overuse is a major global problem and the cause of this problem is noticeable
pesticide loss from undesired bouncing of sprayed pesticide droplets and rain erosion. This …

Silk fibroin (SF) as a natural biopolymer has become a popular material for biomedical
applications due to its minimal immunogenicity, tunable biodegradability, and high …

Ice accumulation is a pervasive natural phenomenon that exerts a severe and catastrophic
impact on a broad range of social systems. Previous investigations on anti-/de-icing …

A superhydrophobic cotton fabric with unidirectional moisture transfer ability, antibacterial,
and oil-water separation capabilities was fabricated by combining a simple coating method …

Poly (dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS) is the benchmark of alcohol-selective membranes. The low-
molecular-weight PDMS easily causes pore penetration and nonuniform coverage, thus …

We probe the microstructural differences of conducting polymer poly (3, 4-
ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) derivatives under geometrical nanoconfinement using a …

This work presents comprehensive study of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) surface properties after exposed to 1.5, 3, 4.5 and 6 min …

Synthetic polymers, such as polyamide (PA), inherently possess a moderate number of
surface functionalities compared to natural polymers, which negatively impacts the …

Adhesion is a fundamental phenomenon that plays a role in many engineering and
biological applications. This paper concerns the use of machine learning to characterize the …

Thermally switchable ladder-like poly (silsesquioxane)(LPSQ) adhesives using the Diels–
Alder reaction were synthesized and utilized as reversible adhesion materials. The LPSQ …
