The pressing need for surfaces and fabrics that can be protected against microbes has been laid bare by the Covid-19 pandemic. Research published online in Advanced Materials has presented a method for coating fabrics with liquid metal to kill any pathogens they come into contact with.
Semiconducting carbon nanotube (CNT) films represent one of the most promising channel material solutions to the fabrication of complementary metal-oxide semiconducting (CMOS) field-effect transistors (FETs). These are f...
The latest research in the journal Applied Polymer Science by researchers in Xi’an, China, is done by fabricating a novel type of cellulose foam by utilization of waste cigarette filters.
The latest research in the journal Coatings is focused on new ways of improving the superhydrophobic characteristics of zinc oxide (ZnO) and titanium dioxide coatings (TiO2).
A team has demonstrated the fabrication of ultrathin electromagnetic interference shielding materials that will provide significant advances in products that take advantage of nanomaterials, as published in the journal Materialstoday.
Spider-webs are one of nature’s wonders; besides being remarkably intricate structures, they have been subjected to intense scientific study. This is due to the properties of the silk material spiders produce when spinning their webs.
As the amount of counterfeit goods increases, it is necessary to innovate new ways of applying effective and adjustable tagging in an affordable manner. New research in the journal Applied Nano may offer a solution.
In today’s post-pandemic world, our collective awareness of how surfaces that we regularly come into contact with and touch may contain bacteria, viruses, and pathogens is all too acute.
The Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated the urgent need for antiviral and antimicrobial coatings for surfaces in public spaces and healthcare environments. Recent research published in October 2021 in the journal Microbial Biotechnology has demonstrated a rapid nano-Zinc oxide doped preparation for polyurea coatings that seeks to address this issue.
Carbon thin films such as graphene are incredibly light yet immensely strong materials that have superb application potential but can be difficult to fabricate, often requiring labor- and time-intensive strategies that are expensive and not considered very environmentally friendly.
