Journal ArticleDOI
A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sponge for the selective absorption of oil from water.
Sung-Jin Choi,Taehong Kwon,Hwon Im,Dong-Il Moon,David J. Baek,Myeong-Lok Seol,Juan P. Duarte,Yang-Kyu Choi +7 more
TL;DR: Through appropriately combining various sugar particles, the absorption capacity of the PDMS sponge is favorably optimized, enabling excellent recyclability and promoting potential in environmental applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nanotechnology for sustainable energy
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present some significant contributions from many research groups who are mainly unconnected and are working from different viewpoints, to find solutions to one of the great challenges of our time, i.e., the production and use of energy, without compromising our environment.

The hydrophobic coatings of plant surfaces: epicuticular wax crystals and their morphologies, crystallinity and molecular self-assembly.
Kerstin Koch,Hans-Jürgen Ensikat +1 more
TL;DR: This review gives a brief introduction into the functions of the plant epicuticular waxes and summarises the current knowledge about their morphologies, crystal structures, growth by self-assembly and provides an overview about the microscopy and preparation techniques for their analysis.
