Nanofibres are found in a broad variety of hierarchical biological systems as fundamental
structural units, and nanofibrillar components are playing an increasing role in the …

Organic coatings are extensively investigated as possible solution to prevent or at least
retard the occurring of corrosion processes on metal surfaces. Their actual breakthrough is …

Even though halide perovskite materials have been increasingly investigated as flexible
devices, mechanical properties under flexible environments have rarely been reported on …

Abstract Poly (3‐hydroxybutyrate)(PHB)‐based bionanocomposites were prepared using
various percentages of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) by a solution casting method. CNCs …

Polymer and hydrogel thin films on a compliant substrate are gaining significant attention
these days in the fields of soft electronics, digital display, biomedical devices and sensors to …

An abundance of organic matter is present as solid bitumen in highly mature shales.
Changes in chemical structure of solid bitumen during catagenesis could alter the way its …

The mechanical properties of polymers near interfaces are important in a number of different
fields. For almost two decades, the local dynamics of thin polymer films have been studied in …

Nanoindentation studies of the mechanical properties of sufficiently thin polymer films,
supported by stiff substrates, indicate that the mechanical moduli are generally higher than …

Two-component solvent-born polyurethane coatings for the protection of bronze from
corrosion were prepared. Trisilanol-heptaisooctyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquixane …

Despite the potential applications of poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) coatings in medical
devices, the mechanical properties of this material during degradation are poorly …
