A group of researchers from China’s Shandong University and Xi’an Jiaotong University has developed a radiative cooling (RC) cover for PV panels that can reportedly reduce their operating temperature ...

A simple, cheap, and highly effective approach to achieve large tuning range of optical transmittance through harnessing surface wrinkling–cracking patterns on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films. The ...

Researchers have discovered that the primary cause of surface wrinkling in plasma-oxidized PDMS films is water vapor absorption, not thermal cycling as previously believed. This finding is significant ...

A researcher has applied a novel method to control the wettability of polymeric substrates, which has numerous practical implications. In a paper published in NANO, a researcher from the Department of ...

Polymer thin films are widely used in a number of processes, including artificial skin and anti-reflective coatings. A knowledge of their viscoelastic features at multiple temperatures is crucial for ...

In a paper published in NANO, a researcher from the Department of Chemistry at Myongji University has applied a novel method to control the wettability of polymeric substrates, which has numerous ...
