Tailoring surface structures for enhanced single‐droplet jumping condensation
Droplet, Volume 5, Issue 4, October 2026.Hierarchically structured superhydrophobic surfaces enable single‐droplet jumping during condensation, promoting continuous surface refreshment and enhanced heat transfer. By combining micro‐ and nano‐scale textures, the optimized design of micropillars enhances the frequency and efficiency of single‐droplet jumping events.

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.Temperature‐controlled ageing tailors water‐based TiO2 sols by linking viscosity evolution to coating formation and photocatalytic performance. Incubation at 50°C (T‐i) promotes optimal aggregation, producing dense and uniform nanocrystalline anatase coatings with near‐complete HCHO degradation.

Dry‐Develop Positive‐Tone Poly(aldehyde) Resists Activated by Low‐Voltage Electron‐Beam Exposure
Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 10, October 2026.Process for investigation of dry develop e‐beam sensitive materials. ABSTRACT Dry‐develop positive‐tone resists are attractive for advanced lithographic applications because they eliminate the need for liquid development. Poly(phthalaldehyde) (PPA) is a promising dry‐developable resist platform because acid‐triggered depolymerization converts the ...

Micro‐ and Nanopatterning of Highly Conductive PEDOT Thin Films
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 19, 6 October 2026.This work presents micro‐ and nanoscale fabrication strategies for organic thin‐film devices using non‐commercial PEDOT synthesized by V2O5‐mediated oxidative polymerization. Optimized films show controlled thickness and tunable conductivity. At the nanoscale, nanosphere lithography enables large‐area hexagonally packed PEDOT nanopillar arrays down to ...

Polymer Engineering &Science, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 7413-7426, October 2026.A printhead‐mounted plasma nozzle activates the PEEK melt and the borosilicate print‐bed at the instant of contact. Only this simultaneous in‐situ activation of both interfaces yields reliable first‐layer adhesion (0.22 MPa). ABSTRACT Fused deposition modeling of poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK) requires a high‐temperature build plate, yet PEEK does not ...
