The overall objective of this work is to develop a novel methodology of surface modification, which can be broadly applied to polymer networks such as elastomer and hydrogel. Two types of ...

Pure nickel is very hard, ductile, shiny, resistant to corrosion, and has a silvery-white color. Thanks to these extraordinary properties, nickel is often utilized in surface engineering and coating ...

In this undergraduate/graduate level course, students will understand interesting properties of natural surfaces (e.g., lotus leaves) and the state-of-the-art bio-inspired research on functional ...
