Bamboo is one of the renewable materials which can be applied in the engineering field
widely. Previous research has shown that bamboo's inherent poor durability can limit the …

The purpose of this paper is to propose a facile, green and low-cost approach of the
preparation of superhydrophobic cotton textiles, which can be fabricated with fluorinated TiO …

Superhydrophobic surfaces are composed of low surface energy materials and micro/nano
structures; however, in real applications, it is challenging to achieve surfaces that …

Due to the continuously increasing demand for building materials across the world, it is
necessary to use renewable materials in place of the existing nonrenewable materials in …

There are significant challenges related to practical applications of superhydrophobic
materials due to their limited durability, difficult processing conditions, and complicated …

Bamboo, because of its fast growth, high fiber strength and biodegradability, had been used
to develop lightweight structural materials. However, the inherent hydrophilicity, poor …

In this study, special attention is focused on the design of TiO 2 morphology and
microstructure in the two-step preparation procedure using TiOF 2 as a precursor to study …

Bamboo is an environmentally friendly and sustainable building material. In addition, its high
hydrophilicity and low susceptibility to fungal diseases make it widely applicable in building …

Bamboo is easily affected by moisture and mold, etc., causing performance deterioration,
which limits the practice application. Phytic acid (PA) as abundant biomass resources, can …

Recently, there has been increasing interest in developing artificial superhydrophobic
surfaces, especially in the field of self-cleaning application. However, the poor robustness …
