The introduction of adhesive bonding in the automotive industry is one of the key enabling
technologies for the production of aluminium closures and all-aluminium car body structures …

The currently employed inorganic conversion coatings are unattractive and their use is
restricted due to toxicity, non-biodegradability and high cost. Conversion coatings based on …

Studies regarding the wettability transition of micro-and nano-structured metal surfaces over
time are frequently reported, but there seems to be no generally accepted theory that …

Self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) are widely used as carrier transport interlayers for
enabling high‐efficiency perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, achieving uniform and …

Recently, controlling the wettability of a metallic surface so that it is either superhydrophobic
or superhydrophilic has become important for many applications. However, conventional …

Inspired by the micro and nano structures of biological surface such as lotus leaf, rice
leaves, etc. a functional near superhydrophobic surface of pure aluminum has been …

While there has been a tremendous increase of recent interest in noble metal-based
antennas as substrates for surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy, more …

Understanding the stability of chemical interactions at the polymer/metal oxide interface
under humid conditions is vital to understand the long-term durability of hybrid systems …

Superhydrophobic metallic surfaces made via pulsed laser ablation have been utilized
recently. Immediately after laser ablation, metallic surfaces become hydrophilic. By aging the …

The mechanisms governing coating/metal oxide delamination are not fully understood,
although adhesive interactions at the interface are considered to be an important …
