Humid‐Air Condensation Heat Transfer on Hierarchical Structured Superhydrophobic Graphite Composites

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Humid‐air condensation on graphite composites shows that making a surface superhydrophobic is not sufficient to enhance heat transfer. A hierarchical CuO/lauric‐acid coating yields spherical droplets but promotes Wenzel‐type pinning and adds effective thermal resistance under operation.

Relationship of Dye Adsorption Onto Biomass Activated Carbon Mixed Matrix Ultrafiltration: A Mass Transfer Model Study

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study explored dye molecule adsorption from water, focusing on activated carbon in polymer membranes for purifying low‐quality water. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes showed enhanced removal efficiency of methylene blue (MB) from 89.29% to 98.33% with biomass‐activated carbon (BAC).

Advances in MoS2‐Au Nanostructured Platforms for Cancer‐Derived miRNA Detection

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This figure presents the roadmap and scope of this review on microRNA detection technologies, with emphasis on MoS2 and MoS2–Au hybrid nanostructures. It traces the evolution from conventional assays to MoS2‐based SERS platforms, highlights synthesis, interfacial chemistry, and signal‐enhancement mechanisms, and summarizes key challenges and future ...

Catch, Release, Repeat: Reversible Protein Capture in Electric Fields Using Antifouling Polymer Brushes

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Capturing proteins is easy since their amphiphilic nature allows them to bind to almost any surface. Because of this, releasing them is challenging since various interactions need to be considered for this. We present a simple method to reversibly adsorb proteins on stabilized electrodes.
