This review considers three aspects of the weathering of wood–natural weathering,
accelerated weathering, and simulated weathering. Natural weathering begins when …

In this paper, we investigate the WO 3-x/PVA composite films as smart photochromic
coatings on glass substrate by two methods: solvent casting (SC) and dip-coating (DC). The …

A comprehensive study on Phoenix dactylifera mediated green synthesis of ZnO, and
different content (2%, 4%, 6%, 10%) of Mn doped ZnO nanoparticles (Mn@ ZnO-NPs) were …

Here, the direct incorporation of photochromic WO3 nanoparticles is investigated in a matrix
of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) by bulk radical polymerization for the fabrication of …

Objectives To evaluate the influence of thickness and printing angle on the optical properties
of 3D-printed dental restorative resins. Methods Four 3D printing resin systems were …

Extrasystoles lead to several consequences, ranging from uneventful palpitations to lethal
ventricular arrhythmias, in the presence of pathologies, such as myocardial ischemia. The …

In this theoretical study, a disordered metamaterial coating with randomly embedded TiO 2
dielectric microspheres in a polydimethylsiloxane matrix has been designed for the purpose …

Disordered media coatings are finding increasing use in applications such as day-time
radiative cooling paints and solar thermal absorber plate coatings which require tailored …

Quality evaluation of fruits and vegetables based on visible and near-infrared (Vis-NIR)
spectroscopy has been investigated by many research groups worldwide during the last two …

Abstract The Kubelka-Munk (KM) model is frequently used to describe the optical properties
(absorption and scattering) of inhomogeneous media in terms of the measured reflection …
