Water penetration can cause severe performance deterioration and even failure of concrete
constructions through various degradation mechanisms, such as chemical erosion, dry-wet …

Fog on a solid surface is prejudicial to its optical properties and will even cause hygienic
and safety concerns in some exceptional cases. Thus, antifogging coatings have attracted …

Transparent superhydrophobic coatings are highly desirable in outdoor optoelectronic
devices for their anti-wetting, self-cleaning, and anti-icing abilities. Superhydrophobicity …

Passive anti-icing and active anti-icing/de-icing were two major strategies to suppress icing
on surfaces. Combining these two strategies and making full use of various energies can …

Owing to their highly efficient antifouling function, superhydrophobic coatings show great
potential applications in both daily-life and industrial areas. Real-world applications …

Intrinsic superhydrophobic materials exhibit anti-wetting and abrasion-resistant capabilities
simultaneously. However, the existing methods are highly restricted to specific synthetic …

Abstract In this study, Cu/Zn galvanic electrodes were sputtered on the two surfaces of
hydrophilic cotton fiber nonwovens (Cotton) to prepare hydro electroactive Cu/Cotton/Zn …

Superhydrophobic coatings have aroused increasing interest in many fields. However, the
low light transmittance, poor mechanical robustness, and unsatisfactory chemical stability …

Aimed at getting rid of the complicated preparation procedure, multi-functional
superhydrophobic coatings inspired by natural plants have been successfully constructed …

Microplastics (MPs) pollution evolves into a global environmental problem to be solved
urgently. Although many studies are exploring ways to remove MPs from water environment …
