Various crosslinked PDMS films incorporating cyclic epoxy groups were prepared by UV-induced acid generation and thermal curation and evaluated as CO₂-selective permeable membranes. These ...

Mechanoluminescence platforms, combining phosphors with elastic polymer matrix, have emerged in smart wearable technology due to their superior elasticity and mechanically driven luminescent ...

Supramolecular chemistry has garnered significant attention in materials science. This is because noncovalent interactions enable the addition of unique behavior to otherwise covalent systems. The ...

Polysiloxane materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based elastomers, exhibit a self-healing capability by the introduction of silanolate (Si–O –) groups. This ability stems from their dynamic ...

Scientists in Egypt have created a self-cleaning, hydrophobic coating for solar panels that reportedly increases their efficiency by more than 30%. They used a coating solution based on ...

Investigating the impact of microstructure on the mechanical and shock-absorbing properties of these composites is crucial for advancing the design of materials that can effectively safeguard ...

Researchers in I2CNER, Kyushu University discovered the highly selective separation of CO2 over nitrogen in composite membranes with ultrathin layers with selectivity governed by the molecularly thin ...
