Fluorine has emerged as a “magic element” in medicinal chemistry, crop, and materials
science. 1 Although fluorine is the most abundant halogen in the earth's crust, it is contained …

This review is an update on tris (trimethylsilyl) silane, TTMSS, in organic chemistry, focusing
on the advancements of the past decade. The overview includes a wide range of chemical …

Liquid‐like surfaces (LLSs) with dynamic repellency toward various pollutants (eg, bacteria,
oil, and ice), have shown enormous potential in the fields of biology, environment, and …

While superhydrophobic structured surfaces have been studied extensively, they do not
readily repel low surface tension liquids. Recently developed liquid and liquid-like surfaces …

Superhydrophobic and superamphiphobic toward superoleophobic polymeric surfaces of
polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and polydimethyl siloxane …

Several simple methods are presented and evaluated to simulate the X-ray photoelectron
spectra (XPS) of organic monolayers and polymeric layers by density functional theory (DFT) …

Superhydrophobic surfaces with micro/nanostructures are widely used to prevent
nonspecific adsorption of commercial polymeric and/or biological materials. Herein, a self …

The adsorption of partially fluorinated amphiphiles on metal/metal oxide surfaces allows for
the generation of specifically fluorinated thin-film interfaces. Such surfaces are often …

Room-temperature deep Si etching using time-multiplexed deep reactive ion etching (DRIE)
processes is investigated to fabricate ultra-high aspect ratio Si nanowires (SiNWs) …

Micron-and nano-sized particles are extensively used in various biomedical applications.
However, their performance is often drastically hampered by the nonspecific adsorption of …
