Right: The new material features a large water contact angle and is thus nearly completely hydrophobic. Credit: KIT The team attributes these results to the brush-like arrangement (polymer brushes) of ...
The pure SF fibers exhibited a contact angle of 113.36° ± 2.84°, indicating their hydrophobic nature. However, with increasing proportions of Ti3C2Tx MXene, the wettability of the composite fibers ...
All images shown here are secondary electron images. 200 mesh formvar/carbon copper grids were pre-treated by glow discharge in Polaron E6000 vacuum coating unit to make them hydrophilic. 5 μL of each ...
