Researchers combine a polymer coating with silicon dioxide nanostructures to create a coating to prevent fogging and unwanted reflections. The technique solves a common problem for sensors such as ...
Researchers from King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in Saudi Arabia and Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) in Germany have fabricated ...
MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and ...
What do cars, bridges and airplanes have in common? They are all exposed to the open air most of the time and are subjected to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Airplanes are particularly ...
A recent article in Advanced Materials explores the temperature-driven swelling and wetting behavior of polymer brushes made from poly(octadecyl methacrylate) (P18MA ...
