A hydrophilic and oleophobic surface repels oil. This innovative surface property has received increasing attention since it excels at anti-fogging, detergent-free cleaning, and oil and water separation.
Since natural fibers like cotton are resource-intensive to manufacture, and petroleum-based fibers like nylon and polyester are not ecologically friendly, it’s time to start considering more sustainable options in the textile industry.
Electric vehicles are becoming more popular, with governments even encouraging their use through legislation. Here we look at what makes these vehicles different from fuel-based cars, and the battery technologies that drive them.
