We combine a functionalized cellulose fiber library with paper fabrication by layer-wise fiber deposition or fiber printing. This approach allows us to design wettability in all paper dimensions and unidirectional polarity-dependent fluid transport.

In this work, a spatially resolved analytical method based on scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) to distinguish different degradation phenomena in polymer electrolyte membranes was developed.

Sputtered films of Si-doped WO₃ showed a good selective sensing for isoprene with rapid response/recovery times, which were less than 1.5 and 3.0 seconds, respectively.

Calculated magnetic moments for the (101) rutile-structure SnO₂ surface.

In this study, we prepare pore-spanning membranes that mimic the composition of plasma membranes and perform force spectroscopy indentation measurements to unravel mechanistic insights depending on lipid composition.

The In/Te bilayer thin film synthesized by thermal evaporation method with 350 nm thickness annealed at different temperatures and their opto-electronic properties change. The films showed a hydrophobic nature, with enhancement of photo current from nA to ∼mA.

N-Methylglucamine (N-MG) was introduced to poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoroethylene) (PVDF-CTFE) porous substrate membrane to enhance its hydrophilicity and permeability, leading to the preparation of a composite NF membrane with selective separation performance for many dyes and salts.

The tunable thermal diffusivity of silk fibroin-based assemblies (films) is demonstrated here. The control of secondary structures and subsequent photo-induced chemical cross-linking are essential for heat conduction in the films.

The study sets out to show the positive impact of sulfur vacancy engineering on the structural, morphological, optical, electrical, and photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties of Sb₂S₃ films synthesized using the spin coating technique.

Bond strength of two-layer adhesive-free flexible copper-clad laminate is an important factor that directly affects the stability and reliability of electronic devices.

Based on the excellent diclofenac sodium (DCF) removal capacity of MOF-808, a free-standing mixed-matrix membrane composed of polyacrylonitrile and MOF-808 was fabricated and used to remove DCF from water via an easily accessible filtration method.

The article introduces a new PDMS/Ca(ClO)₂ material that releases chlorine over two weeks, effectively combating bacterial growth, and suggesting versatile applications in biomedical and industrial disinfection.

Elimination of tiny oil droplets nearly miscible with wastewater can be realized using membrane technology through ultrafiltration.
