Marine aerobic biofilm as biocathode catalyst [PDF]
, 2010 Stainless steel electrodes were immersed in open seawater and polarized for some days at − 200 mV vs. Ag/AgCl. The current increase indicated the formation of biofilms that catalysed the electrochemical reduction of oxygen.

Modification of Urushiol Derivatives by Liquid Crystal Epoxy Resin
International Journal of Polymer Science, 2015 Urushiol derivatives have vast potentials for using as coating materials. However, the cured coatings are quite brittle, limiting their applications. In this study, urushiol-furfural (UFUR) was chosen as an example of urushiol derivatives and a liquid ...
