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 …

Membrane‐based separation processes are very susceptible to flux decline because of
concentration polarization and fouling problems. Despite the immense applications of low …

To explore the surface wettability, the contact angle was usually experimentally measured
by sessile drop method, which is very sensible to the experimental conditions. Molecular …

Nanofluid droplet evaporation has gained much audience nowadays due to its wide
