This study investigates the optimization of sol–silicate façade coatings modified with colloidal silica and a silane-based hydrophobizing additive to enhance hydrophobicity while maintaining a high water-vapor transmission rate (V). The...

In recent years, porous carbon-based materials have demonstrated their potential as electrode materials, particularly as supercapacitors for energy storage. The specific capacitance of a carbon-based material is strongly influenced by its porosity. H...

It is recognized that the ionization state of amphipathic molecules can affect the curvature and arrangement of the supramolecular structure of which they are a part due to changes in their shape and interactions with neighboring molecules. The pKa i...

This study deals with diamond films grown via the microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition technique (MWPECVD) on molybdenum (Mo) substrates of different roughness. This work is motivated by the necessity of overcoming the poor adhesion of...

Hexaconazole, a triazole-class fungicide, demonstrates broad-spectrum protective and therapeutic activity against fungal pathogens, particularly those from Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, such as brown spot and powdery mildew. Despite its efficacy in c...

This study explores how post-deposition thermal annealing alters the structural, morphological, and electronic properties of Sn–Te–O thin films grown by radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering. Thin films were annealed at temperatures ran...

Polymeric materials are increasingly used as thin films or coatings with end-use dimensions approaching those of individual polymer molecules [...]

Resistance spot welding of aluminum alloys causes the electrode materials to degrade rapidly. This is due to diffusion processes occurring between the sheet materials and the copper electrodes at process temperatures of up to 600 °C. This signifi...

Powder coating, as a promising coating material, has attracted widespread attention due to its convenient construction and being a green option, promoting environmental protection. However, the existence of defects such as insufficient leveling and p...

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic caused tremendous loss of life and long-term health effects for many. The virus continues to evolve, and new variants have the potential to cause widespread physical and economic impacts. Long-chain carboxylic acids featuring...
