Bio-based aerogel has become an attractive sorbent for spilled oil and organic pollutants
because of its light weight, high porosity and strong sorption capacity. However, the current …

In this work, the adsorption of Candida antarctica B (CALB) and Rhizomucor miehei (RML)
lipases into hydrophobic wrinkled silica nanoparticles (WSNs) is investigated. WSNs are …

The development of hydrophobic composite coatings is of great interest for several
applications in the aerospace industry. Functionalized microparticles can be obtained from …

To improve the hydrophobicity of polysaccharide-based films, hydrophobic carnauba wax-
based particles were prepared by Pickering emulsion. The influence of the different size of …

Low-surface-energy fluorocarbon-based materials are widely used in superhydrophobic and
oleophobic coatings. The fabrication of oil-repellant coatings, however, is particularly …

Hydrogels have received considerable attention due to their biocompatibility and desirable
physical characteristics. Nonetheless, due to their open structure, hydrogels are prone to …

It is a challenge to endow the material with the ability to pollutants degradation while
maintaining the oil/water separation performance. Herein, the mixed dispersion of BiOBr …

Superhydrophobic surfaces were fabricated by a simple one-step electrodeposition
technique to deposit three distinct micro/nano hierarchical structures of Ce, Mg, or Cu-based …

A superhydrophobic surface on AA3003 with a structure consisting of microrods and
nanosheets was fabricated via a chemical etching approach combined with modification by …

The light-driven superficial structuration observed on the surface of films of azobenzene-
containing polymers follows the optical field distribution of the illuminating light pattern, ie …
