This literature review covers the solubility and processability of fluoropolymer polyvinylidine
fluoride (PVDF). Fluoropolymers consist of a carbon backbone chain with multiple …

Many modern technologies rely on materials with controlled surface properties. A key
property in many of these applications is surface energy; specifically a low surface energy is …

Highly conductive and stretchy fibers are crucial components for smart fabrics and wearable
electronics. However, most of the existing fiber conductors are strain sensitive with …

To achieve high charge density for the triboelectric polymer is a crucial task for fabricating
triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs). This work has developed a quenching polarization …

Biofouling on surfaces immersed in aquatic environment induces catastrophic corrosion of
metallic materials in petrochemical infrastructures, maritime facilities, and power plants. To …

Comments are made concerning the recent use of adjectives to describe solid surfaces that
exhibit anomalously high water contact angle values. We suggest that the meaning of the …

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

Inspired by the superhydrophobic effect displayed in nature, we set out to mimic the interplay
between the chemistry and physics in the lotus leaf to see if the same design principle can …

Tridecafluorononanoic acid (TFNA), a C6-fluorinated carboxylic acid, was esterified with
cellulose at different molar ratios (0: 1, 1: 1, 2: 1, and 3: 1) in a trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) …

Organic solvent reverse osmosis (OSRO) is currently considered as an energy-efficient
membrane technology for separation of organic liquid mixtures. The conventional …
