Researchers at Rice University have developed a new method for performing chemical reactions using water instead of toxic ...

They observed a water contact angle of more than 160 degrees—the larger the angle formed by the surface of a water drop with the substrate, the better the hydrophobic properties of the material.

Increase in R&D expenditure in biopharmaceuticals, rise in demand for biologics and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), and rise in adoption of biosimilars are the major factors that drive the growth of the ...

In a step towards developing advanced materials for functional coatings, a research group from Japan, developed a technology that combines structural color coating with super water-repellent ...

Innovative structural color coatings from Chiba University combine hydrophobic melanin particles, offering long-lasting ...

Once grafted onto the MOF films, these chains form a disordered "coil" structure, known as a "high-entropy state," which is key to the material's hydrophobic properties. The scientists noted that ...

Further insight into fibril formation has now been gained that reveals the effect of hydrophobic surfaces, including air. Previous work had investigated amyloid formation in the presence of ...
