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 ...
Superhydrophobic materials are promising candidates to alleviate freeze-thaw damages and steel corrosion in reinforced concrete. Researchers have developed a ...
Superoleophobic surfaces, that are highly repellent to low-surface-tension oils and organic liquids, are poorly understood. To this end, researchers discuss ...
A paper reviews the types of bacteria used in concrete and the ways it can be applied as healing agents. It also gives a brief description of various properties of ...
