Summary: In this study, stearic acid (SA), polymehtylhydrosiloxane (PHMS), and attapulgite (ATP) were mechanically mixed in absolute ethanol to prepare abrasion resistant-superhydrophobic cementitious material. The effects of different coating methods and SA content on superhydrophobic and abrasion resistant properties were studied. The impermeability and erosion resistance under different conditions were also investigated. The results showed that one-step spraying method and reasonable SA addition improved superhydrophobicity and abrasion resistance, while increasing roughness decreased surface energy. The material prepared by one-step spraying method exhibited excellent impermeability and erosion resistance.

Summary: Tungsten is a material with high thermal conductivity, high melting point, high hardness, and high density, making it suitable for various applications. However, the formation of surface oxides on tungsten significantly reduces its mechanical properties and makes it prone to interaction with water. Researchers have developed a series of superhydrophobic coatings for tungsten surfaces using nanosecond laser treatment and chemical vapor deposition. The durability of the coatings depends on surface morphology and composition, which can be controlled by adjusting the parameters of the laser treatment. The optimized coating exhibited high superhydrophobic properties even after subjected to abrasion, contact with water droplets, and falling sand tests.

Summary: In this study, carbon nanotubes were grafted by silica nanoparticles to prepare CNTs-SiO2 hybrids, which were then incorporated into an epoxy matrix to construct a superhydrophobic coating. The optimal ratio of CNTs to SiO2 was found to be 1:3, achieving the best hydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 159.3 degrees. The entwined CNTs-SiO2 hybrids not only enhanced water repellency and mechanical durability, but also showed excellent chemical stability under harsh conditions, significantly delaying water freezing time and efficiently melting ice under laser irradiation.

Summary: In this study, a DNA-PNIPAAm composite material was synthesized by combining PNIPAAm with multi-acryloyl-modified Y-type DNA. Interpenetrated networks were formed through base pairing of three single DNA strands and cross-linking of NIPAAm with multi-acryloyl-modified Y-type DNA. The mechanical strength, phase transformation temperatures (DSC), and cloud point of the hydrogel were measured. The results showed that the introduction of DNA increased the response temperature of PNIPAAm and improved reaction efficiency, allowing for a lower DNA concentration. This new method of preparing DNA-polymer composite hydrogels has great potential.

Summary: The corrosion inhibitory potency of two new pyrimidine-pyrazole derivatives, PPA and PPC, was evaluated for mild steel in 1 M HCl. The results showed enhanced inhibition activities with increased concentration, reaching maximal values of 91.15% and 92.39% for PPA and PPC, respectively. However, the mitigation potency decreased with increasing temperature. SEM and XPS analysis revealed that PPA and PPC adsorbed on the mild steel surface, forming a shielding layer that prevented the dissolution of the steel in the acidic solution.
