The research of using bio-based nanocellulose to construct novel structures with tailored
functions has attracted wide attention over the past few years. Unlike most of the studies …

The main objective of the present study is to experimentally investigate the moist air
condensation behavior subject to hydrophilic and superhydrophobic surface with a much …

The increased application of wood products has raised new demands for chemically
modified wood, such as enhanced water resistance and use of nontoxic fluorine-free …

Fabrication of durable hydrophobic metallic substrate is an emerging area of research for
the condensation process in many industrial devices because its implementation enhances …

Construction of superhydrophobic woods with high abrasion resistance is still a major
challenge, and micro analysis for abrasion resistance is scarce. To improve these issues …

Surface engineering of copper substrates for condensation of vapor in moist air in an
atmospheric water generator (AWG) is an intensive area of research. The goal here is to …

In the present work, nanostructured functionalized silica is coated on an aluminum (Al)
substrate by the spray pyrolysis method to create a stable and effective super-hydrophobic …

The preparation methods of the superhydrophobic surface play an important role in its
application, but most of the existing preparation methods are complicated in operation, high …

Various methods have been exploited to treat oil/water mixtures, but they are not suitable for
widespread application due to high cost or low efficiency. Superhydrophobic materials with …

The initial transient behavior of condensation of water vapor from humid air plays vital roles
in a large variety of engineering applications. Although such influences on the steady-state …
