Wetting of Surface Grafted Hydrophilic‐b‐Hydrophobic Block Copolymer Brushes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The wetting properties of surface grafted diblock copolymer brushes are influenced by the thickness of the hydrophilic bottom block and the hydrophobic top block. The surface adapts in presence of water and the contact angles of the bottom block shine through. Abstract The wetting of diblock copolymer brushes by water is studied.

Ether theory of gravitation: why and how?

, 2007
Gravitation might make a preferred frame appear, and with it a clear space/time separation--the latter being, a priori, needed by quantum mechanics (QM) in curved space-time. Several models of gravitation with an ether are discussed: they assume metrical

Biofouling and its control for in situ lab-on-a-chip marine environmental sensors

, 2012
Biofouling is the process by which biological organisms attach to surfaces in an aqueous environment. This occurs on nearly all surfaces in all natural aquatic environments, and can cause problems with the functioning of scientific equipment exposed to ...

Print‐and‐Plate Architected Electrodes for Electrochemical Transformations Under Flow

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Typical flow cell electrodes are composed of stochastic porous carbon, limiting understanding of electrode structure‐performance relationships. This work describes an approach, termed “print‐and‐plate,” to prepare porous electrodes by direct ink writing followed by conformal metal coating.

Harnessing Outer Space for Improved Electrocaloric Cooling

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel radiative heat sink/source‐integrated electrocaloric (R‐iEC) system combines the electrocaloric (EC) effect with a thermally conductive radiative cooler (TCRC) to address heat dissipation limitations in EC devices. Utilizing outer space as a heat sink, the system achieves up to 240 W m−2 of heat dissipation performance, making it highly ...

Surface Reconstruction Induced by Preconditioning in Different Electrolytes Impacts Electrooxidation of Solketal on Multi‐Metal‐Based Catalysts

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The electrocatalytic activity and stability of CoNiFeCu (1:1:1:0.5) toward glycerol and solketal electrooxidation are strongly impacted by the electrolyte composition used during the catalyst activation. Solketal tends to inhibit oxyhydroxide formation and suppresses Cu leaching, leading to increased activity while also supporting increased production ...
