The superhydrophobic property was developed for AC 14 TiO 2, AC 14 TiO 2 ZnO and AC 6 TiO 2 ZnO by spraying coating. The best photocatalytic efficiency was achieved for AC 14 TiO 2 ZnO. 2.2. Semiconductors Influence on Mechanical, Superficial and Photocatalysis The WS of the HMA functionalized by volume incorporation reduced. Before abrasion, the

Smart surfaces is a term and an emerging field that combines the materials science of smart materials, the connectivity of IoT, and the promise of big data to make our world more efficient, safe, and liveable. At their most ambitious, smart surfaces promise dynamic, reconfigurable digital control over surfaces in the physical environment.

Superwettability is a centuries-old concept that has been rediscovered in past decades, largely owing to new understanding of the mechanisms of special wetting phenomena in nature. Combining

Mix and pour your concrete into the concrete forming. Pour the concrete slowly, keeping an eye on the steel mesh as you do so to make sure that it doesn’t become displaced. Use a metal rake to make sure the concrete is evenly spread throughout the entire forming. It should take about 24-48 hours for your concrete to dry and set.

Scientists at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed a coating for glass that is superhydrophobic, making it so that it will literally bounce water off the surface. This coating also decreases the amount of light that reflects away from the glass. The benefits for solar collectors are immediately evident.

Practice Guide. Organizing Instruction and Study to Improve Student Learning. This guide includes a set of concrete actions relating to the use of instructional and study time that are applicable to subjects that demand a great deal of content learning, including social studies, science, and mathematics. The guide was developed with some of the

Objectives: To disseminate the targets, challenges and first results of InnovaConcrete project. To disseminate the knowledge of concrete heritage conservation of the 20th Century with special emphasis in the Post-war concrete-based cultural heritage. To promote citizen awareness around concrete heritage and especially around the work of

The concept of superhydrophobicity was introduced in the 1990s as a result of the investigation of the microstructure of extremely water-repellent plant leaves. Since that time, artificial superhydrophobic surfaces have been developed and implemented, stimulated by advances in nanotechnology, and giving one of the most successful examples of a

furumai" is a polysemic word that simultaneously means "behaviour" and "dance;" a serious connotation of individuals' conduct within the society, and a light-hearted act of playfulness. This double-entendre manifests Takram's attitude towards the issue of Water. Through the intervention of a dozen paper plates on which water droplets play around, we hope that people become

Many important applications in fluid management could benefit from unidirectional transport through porous media via a simple, large-area, low-cost coating treatment; in essence, a fluid diode demonstrated herein for water using common cellulosic paper substrates. In electronics, the diode is an electrical component with asymmetric current transfer characteristics.

Hydrophobic materials are formed based on the chemical concept of hydrophobicity. Hydrophobicity is a term derived from a Greek term ‘hydro’ meaning water and ‘phobos’ meaning fear. Hydrophobic molecules (or hydrophobes) repel bodies of water and, owing to the fact that hydrophobes are non-polar, they attract other neutral molecules and

Particular attention is paid to superhydrophobic surfaces created via various methods and surfaces with reversible superhydrophobicity and superhydrophilicity that are driven by various kinds of external stimuli. The control of the surface micro‐/nanostructure and the chemical composition is critical for these special properties.
