Self-limiting surface reactions are promising for atomic layer etching of materials. Classical
treatments with plasmas do not allow for self-limiting functionalization but cause the …

Bacterial infections and antibiotic resistance remain significant contributors to morbidity and
mortality worldwide. Despite recent advances in biomedical research, a substantial number …

Since the discovery of the self-cleaning properties of the lotus effect, the wetting of surfaces
were intensively investigated due to their potential application in many industrial sectors …

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) utilizes metal nanostructures to enhance
the intensity of Raman signals. Although many methods have been developed for fabricating …

The manipulation of droplet mobility on a nanotextured surface by oxygen plasma is
demonstrated by modulating the modes of hydrophobic coatings and controlling the …

Here we demonstrate a simple and scalable nanotexturing method for both planar (films)
and nonplanar (tubes) polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces using a commercial desktop …

Generally, polymeric materials present an issue related to their low surface energy: low
painting ability. The main aim of this work is to improve the adhesion between polymeric …

We study the surface morphology, mass loss and wetting of fluorinated ethylene propylene
surfaces which have been treated using reactive ion etching. We find that etching with argon …

In this work, light extraction efficiency of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with a spin-
coated polyimide/porous silica hybrids were enhanced. The polyimide/porous silica thin …

To understand both chemical and anchoring aspects of Al adhesion, the poly‐ether‐ether‐
ketone (PEEK) surface was plasma‐textured before being coated. The practical adhesion …
