The conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable chemical products via the electrochemical CO2 conversion reaction could ...

Hydrophobic coatings aren’t new, but they’re not typically used against urination. The coating is essentially a thin layer that repels water by forming an almost imperceptibly thin layer that ...

The structural color coating does not fade away like the conventional paints and exhibits self-cleaning properties. This was achieved by using hydrophobic melanin particles which provide structural ...

Highlighting the study's unique findings, Ms. Maejima, the first author, states, "We discovered that super-hydrophobic structural color coatings can be achieved by combining the hydrophobicity of ...

They used carbon quantum dots (CQDs) as a solvent to improve the dispersibility of hydrophobic coatings like tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HDTMS). The CQD ...

Their findings were presented in “High performance double layer hydrophobic antireflective coatings on glass prepared by sol–gel method,” published in Open Ceramics. The research was carried ...

The researchers said that polymer-based hydrophobic anti-soiling coatings have already been tested in solar modules. They said they only work in principle, as they cannot withstand constant ...
