TL;DR: It is demonstrated that stable organic monolayers can be grafted onto all these textured polymeric surfaces and provides a simple and generic method to obtain superamphiphobicity on polymers toward superoleophobicity.

TL;DR: In this article, two optimized chemical vapor deposition methods were employed to obtain MWCNTs of comparable length but different diameter, which were subsequently functionalized and found to have a stronger tendency to agglomerate that was strictly dependent on the presence of proteins.

TL;DR: In this paper, the properties of polymer composites, reinforced with multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and single wall carbon nano-connections (SWCNT), have been studied using the nanoindentation and nanoscratch technique.

TL;DR: In this article, the active screen plasma technology was used to functionalize carbon fibers and vitreous carbon disks, and the functionalized surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and contact angle measurements.

TL;DR: Evaluated mechanical behavior of two maxillofacial elastomers after application of four different disinfection procedures found PDMS affected less from the commercial antimicrobial agent and CPE from neutral soap, which seems to be the most suitable disinfection techniques.
