Solar‐thermal materials have been intensively studied in the context of production and
localization of thermal energy, targeting an industry level application. Although photonic and …

The weak adhesion and tribological properties of polyimide (PI) restrict its practical
application as bonded solid lubricating coatings in high-tech fields. Herein, a novel PI …

Mankind has erected monoliths and stone structures for millennia to ensure stories and
culture are passed on to future generations. In the modern era, monuments and architecture …

The use of biobased materials in additive manufacturing is a promising long-term strategy
for advancing the polymer industry toward a circular economy and reducing the …

Polyurethane (PU) coatings are the most preferred systems in widespread applications on
account of their great variability and fine-tuning of material properties. In this work, we have …

Vinyl-capped cationic waterborne polyurethane (CWPU) was prepared using isophorone
diisocyanate (IPDI), polycarbonate diol (PCDL), N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), and …

Novolac vinyl ester (NVER) often serves as film-forming material in severe corrosion
environment. Unfortunately, major hydrophilic groups gathering on the surface and voids are …

Surface with low energy plays an irreplaceable role in antifouling coatings, national defense
and military industry. However, low-energy surface has poor surface stability, which leads to …

High-temperature linear fluoropyridyl silicone-based oils and network elastomers were
prepared via hydrosilylation with multifunctional perfluoropyridine (PFP)-based monomers …

Waterborne polyurethane (WPU) has poor water resistance and low surface hydrophobicity
due to the incorporation of hydrophilic chain-extender. The water resistance and the surface …
