It is now well established that exposing inorganic and organic polymeric substrates to cold-
plasma species represents an unusually convenient and versatile surface-modification and …

This review presents the development of micro-sized microbial fuel cells (including mL-scale
and μL-scale setups), with summarization of their advantageous characteristics, fabrication …

Metal oxides can increase the adhesion of negatively-charged bacteria to surfaces primarily
due to their positive charge. However, the hydrophobicity of a metal-oxide surface can also …

ABSTRACT A systematic investigation into the effect of surface chemistry on bacterial
adhesion was carried out. In particular, a number of physicochemical factors important in …

Rechargeable Li‐O2 batteries have aroused much attention for their high energy density as
a promising battery technology; however, the performance of the batteries is still …

Polymer coatings with features of differing hydrophilicity, mobility, and topography,
distributed across a substrate in microscopic and nanoscopic patches were designed as …

The ability of polymers displaying lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs) to mediate
bioadsorptive processes was assessed. Three carboxyl-terminated polymers P1− 3 with …

Herein we report on the formation and characterization of mixed-matrix ultrafiltration (UF)
membranes hand-cast by nonsolvent induced phase inversion. We evaluated nanometer-to …

Poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and poly (lactic/glycolic acid) copolymers (PLGA) are biodegradable
drug carriers of great importance, although successful pharmaceutical application requires …

The synthesized phosphorylcholine copolymer composed of 2-
methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine (MPC) and n-butyl methacrylate (BMA), blended …
