Facile Fabrication of Functional Membranes through Oxidant-Triggered Plant-Inspired Surface Modification
DownloadFall 2019
Surface functionalization methods are critically important for materials research community in endowing surfaces with multiple novel and unique properties. Plant-derived polyphenolic compounds exhibit material-independent adhesive affinity and form versatile coatings via synchronous oxidation and...
