Interfacial polymerization is an enabling technique for the large-scale production of ultrathin
layers, hollow nanospheres and nanofibers. The availability of a wide range of suitable …

The contact angle Θ measured on rough, absorbing substrates is known to decrease with
proceeding imbibition of the drop. We demonstrate that the impact of three absorption …

Molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) technology continues to attract significant attention due to
its high performance over a range of carbon-containing fuel gases and non-toxic chemistry …

Simultaneous spreading and infiltration of inkjet-printed droplets has been studied. Small
(54-and 63-μm diameter) droplets of an aqueous polymer solution (2.4 vol% polyacrylic …

The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of kaolinite (KA) and beeswax (BW)
addition on the structural and physical properties of thermoplastic starch (TPS) films. The …

This chapter surveys the use of physical adsorption, from a monolayer upward, as an
experimental method to study the fractal surface structure found in many porous and …

The research subject was the analysis of the microstructure, barrier properties, and
mechanical resistance of the psyllium husk (PH)-modified thermoplastic starch films. The …

The fabrication of an enzyme-degradable polymer/silica hybrid microbubble is reported that
produces an ultrasound contrast image. The polymer, a triethoxysilane end-capped …

The wetting property of liquids on a solid surface is of key relevance to many areas ranging
from biological systems to industrial applications. The wetting behavior of water, glycerin …

The products that are processed in aqueous form, such as Aqoat MF (suspension),
Aquateric (pseudolatex), HP 55 (ammonia-based solution), and Kollicoat MAE 30 D (latex) …
