Microporous membrane separators (MMS) are at the heart of rechargeable lithium/sodium
ion batteries (LIBs/NIBs) because they prevent short circuits and serve as a channel for ion …

Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is a powerful technology for producing high-quality solid
thin films and coatings. Although widely used in modern industries, it is continuously being …

Formation, adhesion, and accumulation of ice, snow, frost, glaze, rime, or their mixtures can
cause severe problems for solar panels, wind turbines, aircrafts, heat pumps, power lines …

Polysulfone (PSF) membranes have been widely used for wastewater treatment due to their
desired properties like stability, high mechanical strength and ease of modification. The …

The growing interest in self-clean coatings owes to their low maintenance cost, high
durability, and immense potential applications. Such coatings, for instance, may offer useful …

To reduce the severe health risk and the huge economic impact associated with the fomite
transmission of SARS-CoV-2, an imidazolium-based zwitterionic polymer was designed …

Insulating layers based on oxides and nitrides provide high capacitance, low leakage, high
breakdown field and resistance to electrical stresses when used in electronic devices based …

Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) polymerization utilizes the delivery of vapor‐phase
monomers to form chemically well‐defined polymeric films directly on the surface of a …

Directed self-assembly (DSA) of the domain structure in block copolymer (BCP) thin films is
a promising approach for sub-10-nm surface patterning. DSA requires the control of …
