Shape‐memory polymers (SMPs) induced by heat or water are commonly used candidates
for biomedical applications. Shape recovery inevitably leads to a dramatic decrease of …

The Martini model, a coarse‐grained force field initially developed with biomolecular
simulations in mind, has found an increasing number of applications in the field of soft …

Developing adaptive coatings having desired functionalities at targeted interfaces is one of
the major efforts in the coatings science area. The adaptation of the surface functionality to …

Wettability played an essential role in surface science, and the wettability of low surface
tension working fluids has a significant impact on the heat transfer and flow performance of …

We prepared polyurethane (PU) network coatings with various cross-linking densities that
were based on polypropylene glycol (PPG) and polytetramethylene glycol (PTMG) …

PEG-modification is a proven method to enhance the hydrophilicity, protein resistance, and
anti-biofouling properties of polymer coatings. It is considered as the gold standard …

Much attention has been drawn to our previously reported polyurethane featuring a hard
backbone and dangling poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) soft segment. It is endowed with a …

The microstructure design of multiblock copolymers is essential for achieving desired
interfacial properties in submerged applications. Two major design factors are the chemical …

From the principle of molecular design and microphase separation, B-THDI-MPEG was
prepared by the reaction of 1, 6-hexyl diisocyanate trimer (THDI) with bis (2-hydroxyethyl) …

Superhydrophobic surface preparation is developed by inspiration from nature. As it is a
natural fact that lotus leaves are water repellant, thus researchers tried their best to develop …
