The best way to reduce the degradation of metallic cultural heritage is through preventive
conservation measures but, in many cases, it is not possible to obtain adequate …

A simple morphogenesis technique for fabricating stable bionic superhydrophobic surfaces
at ambient temperature using copper as a model system is presented. The resulting …

Recently, intense pulsed light (IPL), also referred to as flash lamp annealing, has gained
interest among materials scientists as a highly effective photonic technology for structural …

Surface-stabilized nanoparticles, acting as nanoscale building blocks, can spontaneously
self-assemble into various ordered nanostructures, a process which is usually controlled by …

This work proposes an environmentally low cost route for nano copper oxide
functionalization of cotton in order to impart antibacterial and photocatalytic properties for the …

An ultrasonication-based copper (II)-metallogel synthesis strategy has been developed
using copper (II)-source and L-(+) tartaric acid as a low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) in …

There is a need for substitution or reduction of toxic chemicals and processing steps in all
aspects of chemical manufacturing such as textile dyeing and finishing due to the …

Superhydrophobic surfaces were obtained on copper and galvanized iron substrates by
means of a simple solution-immersion process: immersing the clean metal substrates into a …

To quantify the volatility of organic aerosols (OA), a comprehensive campaign was
conducted in the Chinese megacity. Volatility distributions of OA and particle‐phase organic …

Complex 3D dendritic nanoarchitectures of copper hydroxide built up of ultrathin nanosheets
have been synthesized progressively under nearly sustained supersaturation of impurity …
