A research work reveals that kale leaves have special surface microstructures delaying the ice formation initiation making them good candidates for designing ...
Scientists have investiged the adhesion mechanisms of ticks. On the basis of their experiments conclusions can be drawn about the equipment of future technical ...
With a prevalence of more than 10%, the dry eye syndrome is one of the most frequent forms of ocular diseases. Among contact lens wearers, this condition occurs...
A study presents novel hyperbranched polyamino-esters functionalised with quaternary ammonium salts. These materials can be used as antibacterial and biodegradable...
The goal of a study was to explore a new self-healing concept in which fungi are used as self-healing agent to promote calcium mineral precipitation to fill the ...
A team of international researchers has developed a strategy to prepare new types of zwitterionic polymer network coatings that display excellent self-healing ...
A paper reviews the types of bacteria used in concrete and the ways it can be applied as healing agent. It also gives a brief description of the properties of ...
Fingerprints on stainless steel surfaces of household appliances such as refrigerators or ovens can be very unsightly. In a study, Turkish researchers have ...
Researchers have demonstrated that carboxymethyl cellulose-based hydrogels can be engineered to exhibit the integrate capabilities of self-healing, photoluminescence...
Researchers have been inspired by the mucus of a slug when developing a bio-adhesive. In contrast to conventional medical adhesives the novel adhesive has numerous...
Inspired by the growing demand for more sustainable polymer systems, researchers have investigated thermo-reversible polymer networks composed of more than...
A review is aimed at setting up a system for silica-based superhydrophobic materials, summarising previous works of this domain, and more importantly, providing...
A thin film combination of anti-reflection and biocidal properties would be of particular interest to reduce the transfer of infection and improve readability of ...
