Silica (SiO2) is one of the most promising inorganic nanofillers, and it has been widely used
in the preparation of polymer nanocomposites due to its adjustable morphology, large …

The present work provides a detailed understanding of the most recent progress in
superhydrophobic hybrid nanocomposites (SHN) with their preparation, properties and …

Superhydrophobic cotton fabrics have a lot of potential for use in practical settings. The
majority of superhydrophobic cotton fabrics, however, only serve one purpose and are made …

Abstract Nylon 6/6 and ZnO/nylon 6/6 nanocomposite films were prepared by solvent casting
method. Morphological study displayed that ZnO NPs are better dispersed in nylon 6/6 …

This study has demonstrated, for the first time, the potential application of coatings to protect
bricks or architectures against detrimental atmospheric effects via a self-cleaning approach …

Nanotechnologies contributed to almost every field of science such as physical and
chemical science, material and biological science and engineering. In past decade …

The present study explores the exploitation of ladder-like polysilsesquioxanes (PSQs)
bearing reactive functional groups in conjunction with SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to produce …

This work evaluated the simultaneous effect of the nanosilica-NPS: polycaprolactone-PCL
ratio and the heat treatment on the wettability of the NPS/PCL coatings for application in …

Oil contaminated wastewater is one of the major problem in the petroleum industry since it is
not properly disposed. Drainage of such water either in seawater or soil may have a …

Phosphate coating was prepared on the surface of Q235 steel through phosphate treatment
as the bottom layer, and then the phosphate coating was uniformly covered with modified …
