In the recent paper published in Materials (Yang et al., 2019), there is a mistake in the explanation of crystal growth mechanism of the hydrothermal method. The error in this article is discussed in this short communication.

Hollow fibers (HFs) are widely applied in different membrane operations, particularly in gas separation. The present work investigates the effect of post-spinning treatment on the gas transport properties of polyimide-based HFs. The membranes were sp...

A 3D cellular model that mimics the potential clinical application of a biomaterial is here applied for the first time to a bioactive glass, in order to assess its biological potential. A recently developed bioactive glass (BGMS10), whose composition...

Inorganic matrices and biopolymers have been widely used in pharmaceutical fields. They show properties such as biocompatibility, incorporation capacity, and controlled drug release, which can become more attractive if they are combined to form hybri...

This article presents the results of experimental studies of the impact of centrifugal shot peening parameters on the roughness, microstructure, and microhardness of the surface layer of laser-cut C45 steel parts. Residual stress distributions and th...

In this investigation, the aging behaviors of polyurea coating exposed to marine atmosphere for 150 days were studied and the mechanism was analyzed. The influences on surface and mechanical properties, surface morphology, thermal stability behavior,...

In this work, a carbon black (VXC-72R)/zirconia (ZrO2) nanocomposite-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) was designed, and a VXC-72R/ZrO2/GCE-based electrochemical sensor was successfully fabricated for the high-sensitivity detection of methyl par...

Large-area graphitic films, produced by an advantageous technique based on spraying a graphite lacquer on glass and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) substrates were studied for their thermoresistive applications. The spray technique uniformly covered...

Highly transparent zinc oxide (ZnO)-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) capable of detecting visible light were fabricated through spray pyrolysis on a fluorine-doped tin oxide substrate. The spray-deposited channel lay...

We recently published an article “Conventional and Microwave Hydrothermal Synthesis and Application of Functional Materials: A Review” on Materials, and we are honored to receive a comment article from Jalouli et al. We will give a detail...
