The limiting layer of fish scales: Structure and properties
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-02-01)
Fish scales serve as a flexible natural armor that have received increasing attention across the materials community. Most efforts in this area have focused on the composite structure of the predominately organic elasmodine, ...
Properties of TM resonances on metallic slit gratings
(OSA - The Optical Society, 2012-04)
Electromagnetic resonances on metallic slit gratings induced by TM polarized incident light have been investigated and physically interpreted. We have developed an electromagnetic model imposing surface impedance boundary ...
Fabrication of superhydrophobic and ice-repellent surfaces on pure aluminium using single and multiscaled periodic textures
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12)
Fabricating aluminium surfaces with superhydrophobic and ice-repellent properties present nowadays a challenging task. In this work, multifunctional structures are manufactured by direct laser writing and direct laser ...
Development of a methodology for reversible chemical modification of silicon surfaces with application in nanomechanical biosensors
(Elsevier Advanced Technology, 2019-07)
Hypervalent tellurium compounds have a particular reactivity towards thiol compounds which are related to their biological properties. In this work, this property was assembled to tellurium-functionalized surfaces. These ...
Thermally-induced softening of PNIPAm-based nanopillar arrays
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-03)
The surface properties of soft nanostructured hydrogels are crucial in the design of responsive materials that can be used as platforms to create adaptive devices. The lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of ...
How functionalized surfaces can inhibit bacterial adhesion and viability
(American Chemical Society, 2019-09)
Device-associated infections (DAI) remain a serious concern in modern healthcare. Bacterial attachment to a surface is the first step in biofilm formation, which is one of the main causes of DAIs. The development of materials ...
Structural and functional properties of hydration and confined water in membrane interfaces
(Elsevier Science, 2008-12)
The scope of the present review focuses on the interfacial properties of cell membranes that may establish a link between the membrane and the cytosolic components. We present evidences that the current view of the membrane ...
New insights into the properties of pubescent surfaces: the peach fruit (prunus persica batsch) as a model
(2011-06)
The surface of peach (Prunus persica ‘Calrico’) is covered by a dense indumentum, which may serve various protective purposes. With the aim of relating structure to function, the chemical composition, morphology, and ...
Properties of thermoplastic polyurethane adhesives containing nanosilicas with different specific surface area and silanol content
(Elsevier, 2007-09)
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) adhesives containing nanosilicas with different specific surface area and silanol group content were prepared and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ...
Optimisation of cooking properties of healthier beef patties and quality evaluation during frozen storage
(Springer Verlag, 2019-09)
The aim of this study was to obtain a meat product with a healthier lipid profile and optimal cooking properties. It was evaluated the effect of corn starch content (0, 5 and 10 g/100 g sample) and whey protein concentrate ...
