Reflections on surface morphology
Nature Energy, 2021Electrochromic windows can reduce buildings’ energy demand and improve occupants’ comfort, yet they struggle to fully meet market needs. Now, researchers demonstrate that polymer additives improve light and solar heat modulation of reflective electrochromic windows, with potential for durable, large-scale and low-cost manufacturing.

Morphological Surface Modification
2015Surface modification approaches can be mainly regarded as by either a physical or a chemical means (note the biological ones are considered as a subset of chemical ones), or both. This chapter focuses on the physical means, particularly, a morphological approach to surface modification.

Comparison of Catheter Surface Morphologies
British Journal of Urology, 1990Summary— The surface morphologies of different generic types of Foley catheter have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The characteristic features of each material are illustrated and it is shown that distinct differences exist between the inner and outer surfaces of latex‐based ...

Coarsening Mechanisms in Surface Morphological Evolution
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 2002Based on a temperature-dependent, quantitative scanning tunneling microscopy analysis for the homoepitaxial growth and erosion of Pt(111), several possible atomic-scale mechanisms for the coarsening of mounds and pits are discussed: (i) noise-assisted coarsening, (ii) coalescence coarsening, (iii) step-edge diffusion present only during deposition or ...

Bone response to implant surface morphology
The Journal of Arthroplasty, 1998This study was designed to measure implant osseointegration using different surface treatments. Bilateral distal intramedullary implantation of titanium cylinders 25 mm x 5 mm was performed in 60 rabbits. The 3 surfaces tested were fiber mesh, mean pore size 400 microns; grit-blasted, mean surface roughness 6 microns; and acid-etched, mean surface ...

Surface morphology of Asian cadaveric hips
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1985The joint surfaces of 60 hips obtained from the cadavers of elderly Asians were studied to determine the incidence, the grade and the distribution of both non-progressive (age-related) and progressive degenerative changes. It was observed that in the Asian population of 40 to 90 years of age, non-progressive changes were common, being seen in 66% of ...

Capillarity-Induced Surface Morphologies
Interface Science, 2001Surface energetics is reviewed including expressions for the chemical potential of a curved surface element and the Legendre transform relation between the projected surface free energy as a function of orientation and the Wulff equilibrium shape.

Morphological modelling of surfaces
Surface Engineering, 1998For various types of surfaces, such as rough surfaces, coatings, and interfaces, there is a need for morphological characterisation and modelling. Morphological properties of surfaces obtained from image analysis techniques can be used to provide quantitative data on surface topography, including size distribution of peaks and valleys, connectivity ...

Structured Surfaces and Morphological Wetting Transitions
Interface Science, 2001Recent theoretical and experimental studies have shown that structured surfaces, which contain patterns of lyophilic surface domains, lead to morphological wetting transitions at which the wetting layer changes its shape in a characteristic and typically abrupt manner.
