Solar-driven photodegradation for water treatment faces challenges such as low energy conversion rates, high maintenance costs, and over-sensitivity to the environment. In this study, we develop reusable concave microlens arrays (MLAs) for more efficient solar photodegradation by optimizing light...

Interfacial nanodroplets were grafted to the surfaces of self-sacrificed template particles in a galvanic reaction system to assist the construction of 3D Au porous structures. The interfacial nanodroplets were formed via direct adsorption of surfactant-free emulsions onto the particle surfaces....

Surface nanobubbles are experimentally known to survive for days at hydrophobic surfaces immersed in gas-oversaturated water. This is different from bulk nanobubbles, which are pressed out by the Laplace pressure against any gas oversaturation and dissolve in submilliseconds, as derived by...

The effects of a dissolved gas on the behavior of liquid in cylindrical nanopores are investigated in the framework of Gibbsian composite system thermodynamics and classical nucleation theory. An equation is derived relating the phase equilibrium of a mixture of a subcritical solvent and a...

Fire-protective fabrics made from high-performance fibers are available to provide protection from various hazardous conditions such as extreme heat and flame. However, these fabrics are often exposed to other deteriorating conditions, including moisture. It is a concern for the user's safety as...

Strain aging of microalloyed steel pipe can occur at the relatively low temperatures associated with the pipe coating process and/or during long term storage. A Box-Behnken statistical design is used to determine the significant strain aging variables that affect the longitudinal yield strength...
