TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of dispersion state of graphene on mechanical properties of graphene/epoxy composites was investigated, and it was found that the composites with highly dispersed RGO showed higher glass transition temperature (T g ) and strength than those with poorly-dispersed RGO.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a strategy to improve the performance of epoxy composites by combining the multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and spherical particles.

TL;DR: In this article, a general silane-assisted processing that maintains an effective control of the chemistry, architecture and functionality of these porous structures is presented. And the introduction of silane bonding tailors both the porous microstructure and the surface property of the lightweight aerogel effectively, subsequently providing improved mechanical properties and versatile functionalities.

TL;DR: A series of linear 2,5-tetraphenylsilole-vinylene-type polymers were successfully synthesized for the first time and the bridging group (vinylene or ethyne) had a significant effect on the photophysical properties of the corresponding polymers.

TL;DR: In this article , a durable superhydrophobic fabric was fabricated by using a facile UV-induced surface covalent modification strategy, where the double bonds of IEM and dodecafluoroheptyl methacrylate (DFMA) underwent a photo-initiated coupling reaction under UV light radiation, resulting in the DFMA molecules further grafting onto the fabric surface.
