Atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) is currently one of the most often used synthetic
polymerization methods to prepare well-defined copolymers with complex architecture. This …

A silicone-based elastomer filled with vinyl-silane treated aluminum hydroxide was used to
replace conventional polyurethane-based adhesive to provide a flame-retardant adhesive …

Membrane fouling is still an inevitable main challenge to nanofiltration (NF) process, which
leads to a decline in membrane performance. Inspired by fish scales, a facile method was …

In this study, a novel amphiphilic comb copolymer P (poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG)-r-poly
(dimethylsiloxane)(PDMS)) with mixed hydrophilic and low surface energy side chains was …

Reversible adhesives for wound care improve patient experiences by permitting reuse and
minimizing further tissue injury. Existing reversible bandages are vulnerable to water and …

Nonspecific adsorption of proteins is a challenging problem for the development of
biocompatible materials, as well as for antifouling and fouling‐release coatings, for instance …

Water pollution due to oil drilling, human mistakes, tanker accidents, and natural disasters
have severely affected humanity. A rapid removal of such pollutants from the environment …

In this research, a hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) was modified by the
incorporation of siliconized epoxy resin (SER) containing a segment of siloxane on the side …

Cellulose is commonly used as filler for the reinforcement of polymer materials but data in
the case of silicones remain rare. In this work we report the modification of microcrystalline …

As medical materials, silicone polymers are poor in mechanical properties and in resistance
to fouling for its non-specific adsorption of proteins, cells, etc. This paper introduces a new …
