Flower-Like Covalent Organic Frameworks for Superior Corrosion Resistance and Durability in Epoxy Coatings. [PDF]
In this study, an ultra‐stable 3D flower‐like COF (TP‐TA COF), self‐assembled on molybdenum disulfide (MDS‐COF), as a nanocontainer for anti‐corrosion coating applications, is developed. The TP‐TA COF provides a dual‐pore size framework to facilitate Zn2⁺ adsorption/release as a corrosion inhibitor, while its active‐redox C═N and C─N linkages ensure ...

Self-Warning and Self-Repairing Mechanisms in Functional Coatings: A Review. [PDF]
In this paper, we summarize the research progress of self‐warning and self‐repairing coatings in the field of metal corrosion protection as much as possible from the perspective of functional material selection. Meanwhile, the current progress of substituting dual‐functional coatings for single‐functional coatings is also highlighted. ABSTRACT Coatings

Engineering Compartmentalized Biomimetic Micro- and Nanocontainers [PDF]
Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in biology, where membrane bound micro- and nanocompartments are used for performing a host of highly specialized and tightly regulated biological functions. The benefit of compartmentalization as a design principle is behind its ubiquity in cells and has led to it ...

Anti-corrosive Polystyrene Coatings Modified with Tannic Acid on Zinc and Steel Substrates
Polystyrene (PS) polymer layers were prepared and studied as anti-corrosive barrier layers on both carbon steel and zinc substrates. To increase the corrosion resistance of the coatings, two different approaches were considered: (i) the use of ...

Block Copolymer Nanocontainers
Using cell dynamics computer simulation, we perform a systematic study of thin block copolymer films around a nanoparticle. Lamellar-, cylinder-, and sphere-forming block copolymers are investigated with respect to different film thicknesses, particle radii, and boundary conditions at the film interfaces.

Polymer Nanocontainers for Intracellular Delivery [PDF]
AbstractCarriers for intracellular delivery are required to overcome limitations of therapeutic agents such as low specificity, systemic toxicity, high clearance rate, and low therapeutic index. Nanocontainers comprised of an aqueous core and a polymer shell have received increasing attention because they readily combine stimuli response to improve ...
