Due to the wide application prospects in energy harvesting, conversion, and emission
control technology, wettability has gathered momentum in recent years. Surface wettability …

Surface wettability, a property that governs the interaction between the solid and liquid
phases, is central in various biological systems and technological applications. A typical …

Surface roughness is an important factor that affects dynamic wetting behavior, which can
improve the surface hydrophobicity, so it is of great significance to obtain a better …

As a novel biodegradable material, poly (vinyl) alcohol (PVA)/starch (ST)/glycerol
(GL)/halloysite nanotube (HNT) nanocomposite films were prepared by solution casting at …

The authors demonstrated the feasibility of sintering lunar regolith layer-by-layer solely
using concentrated sunlight. First trials using actual concentrated sunlight led to an …

Wettability of electrospun fibers is one of the key parameters in the biomedical and filtration
industry. Within this comprehensive study of contact angles on three-dimensional (3D) …

Abstract Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) is an innovative additive manufacturing
technology. But it is also limited by the defects and surface quality. In this work, the layer-by …

Exploring advanced electrocatalysts for overall water/seawater splitting is significant to
massive green hydrogen production. Here, we report a novel self-sacrificing template …

Evolution and corrosion resistance of passive film with anodic polarization potentials on Ti-
5Al-5Mo-5 V-1Fe-1Cr alloy in a 3.5 wt% NaCl solution were investigated. The valence state …

In this study, we investigate the microscale structure of shark skin denticles at abdomen (A)
and fin (F) locations, analyze the roughness and wetting properties related to their …
