The modification of surfaces by the deposition of a robust overlayer provides an excellent
handle with which to tune the properties of a bulk substrate to those of interest. Such control …

In the last two decades superhydrophobic (contact angle of water drop, WCA> 150°) and
superamphiphobic (WCA> 150° & contact angle of oil drop, OCA> 150°) materials have …

This review discusses modern developments in CO 2 surface chemistry by focusing on the
work published since the original review by HJ Freund and MW Roberts two decades ago …

The chemistry of environmental interfaces such as oxide and carbonate surfaces under
ambient conditions of temperature and relative humidity is of great interest from many …

Heterogeneous reactions of mineral dust aerosol with trace gases in the atmosphere could

Removing sulfur dioxide (SO2) from exhaust flue gases of fossil fuel power plants is an
important issue given the toxicity of SO2 and subsequent environmental problems. To …

Both conservation and intervention methods must be compatible with each other and
appropriate for the original building materials. Therefore, the characterization of historic …

An option to reduce the exploitation and depletion of natural mineral resources is to
repurpose current waste materials. Fillers are often added to polymers to improve the …

Hydrophobic calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) nanoparticles (NPs), modified with dodecanoic
acid (DA), are produced and dispersed in solutions of KSE 100, which is a silicic acid ester …

Consolidation and hydrophobic treatment of stone artworks are challenging tasks. These
treatments are considered irreversible in many cases. However, in many cases, they are …
