Inspired by the self-cleaning and water-repellent properties of plants and animals in the
natural world, superhydrophobic and superoleophobic materials develop quickly, and are of …

In nature, water-repellency (superhydrophobicity) is found, besides in plants, in insects and
bird feathers. The booming field of biomimetics allows one to mimic nature to develop …

Magnesium (Mg) alloys have many unique properties but suffer from poor corrosion
resistance. Effective anti-corrosion strategies are highly desirable for widespread …

Development of the anticorrosion coatings on metals having both passive matrix
functionality and active response to changes in the aggressive environment has raised …

Amongst alternative energy sources, photovoltaics hold a considerable promise for it is a
plentiful, easily accessible and renewable source of power. Yet, the overall cost of …

This review presents critical literature on effects of humidity and temperature on the
properties of natural fibres and its composites. The drawback of moisture absorption on the …

Wetting behavior of solid surfaces is a key concern in our daily life as well as in engineering
and science. In the present study, we demonstrate a simple dip coating method for the …

Here, we have reviewed brief ideas of fabrication of superhydrophobic surfaces and their
important applications, which were discussed in the concluded national/international …

Superhydrophobic membranes with nanostructure for membrane distillation are fabricated
via spraying a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and hydrophobic SiO 2 …

We report preparation of highly transparent, flexible, and thermally stable superhydrophobic
organically modified silica (ORMOSIL) aerogel thin films from colloidal dispersions at …
