This Review aims to be a comprehensive, authoritative, and critical review of general
interest to the chemistry community (both academia and industry) as it contains an extensive …

Hydrophobic surfaces are often used to reduce wetting of surfaces by water. In particular,
superhydrophobic surfaces are highly desired for several applications due to their …

This comprehensive review begins by tracing the historical development and progress of
cold plasma technology as an innovative approach to polymer engineering. The study …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE/Teflon) is an excellent material in applications demanding
high thermal and chemical stability. Imparting water repellency in such materials can be an …

In this paper, the hydrophilic properties of PTFE were improved by using liquid-film DBD at
atmospheric pressure and compared with air DBD. Results obtained indicate that the liquid …

Historically, photonic crystals have been made of inorganic high refractive index materials
coupled to air voids to maximize the dielectric contrast and in turn the light confinement …

The release of toxic fluoride byproducts is a seemingly unavoidable artifact of surface
engineering, causing severe environmental and human health problems. Here we propose …

Tribological and mechanical properties of Polyethersulfone (PESU) composites, containing
pristine and plasma modified polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) micro-powders as solid …

Tubes are indispensable in our daily life, mechanical engineering and biomedical fields.
However, the practical applications of tubes are sometimes limited by their poor wettability …

A comparative study of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces treated by the post-
discharge of He and He–O2 plasmas at atmospheric pressure is presented. The …
