Cellulose is the cheapest and mostly widespread green raw material on earth. Due to the
easy and versatile developed modification of cellulose, many cellulosic paper-based …

Over the past decade, a new class of slippery, anti-adhesive surfaces known as slippery
covalently-attached liquid surfaces (SCALS) has emerged, characterized by low values of …

Adopting renewable electricity to produce “green” hydrogen has been a critical challenge
because at a high current density the mass transfer capability of most catalytic electrodes …

Liquid drops sliding on tilted surfaces is an everyday phenomenon and is important for many
industrial applications. Still, it is impossible to predict the drop's sliding velocity. To make a …

Biocompatible and mechanically stable porous hydrogels are promising materials for
artificial skin in wound healing. The rigid PVA phase was selected to make the scaffold, and …

Friction determines whether liquid droplets slide off a solid surface or stick to it. Surface
heterogeneity is generally acknowledged as the major cause of increased contact angle …

Surface microgeometry created by the energy of electric discharges is related to surface
wetting behavior. These relationships change depending on the scale of observation. In this …

Non-wettable surfaces, especially those capable of passively trap** air in rough
protrusions, can provide surface resilience to the detrimental effects of wetting-related …

Many biological surfaces are capable of transporting liquids in a directional manner without
energy consumption. Inspired by nature, constructing asymmetric gradient surfaces to …

Benefiting from the cost-performance advantage, large-tow carbon fiber (LCF) is under the
rapid development and shows great application potential in various products like wind …
