It is demonstrated that polymers sticking out of the surface of a neutral hydrogel are capable of preventing adhesive forces from pulling a hydrogel into close contact with a surface against which it is pressed. The proposed mechanism for…
In this study for the first time, polymeric nanofiltration membranes based on polyethersulfone (PES) polymer were surface-modified by using a diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanostructure coating layer. The effect of this coating on the…
Nanoplastics are emerging contaminants that have now transformed into a worldwide environmental concern. It is a lesser-known fact that several emerging contaminants, such as bisphenol and perfluoro alkylates adsorbing on micro and…
The mesoscopic modeling of three polysiloxanes in solution is reported in this work, with the purpose of predicting their physicochemical properties as functions of the quality of the solvent, so that a judicious choice of polymer/solvent…
In this work, a framework for deriving theoretical equations for mean squared displacement (MSD) and fractional Fokker-Planck (FFP) is developed for any arbitrary rheological model. The obtained general results are then specified for…
The occurrence of polar pesticides in sediments has not been extensively investigated because of their relatively poor hydrophobicity and apparently less persistence in the environment. However, their continuous release into the aquatic…
Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification has been investigated vigorously in various remote sensing applications. However, it is still a challenging task nowadays. One significant barrier lies in the speckle…
