Summary: This study investigated the effect of prolonged UV irradiation on the performance of superhydrophobized birch and acetylated birch wood. The results showed that the combination of surface modification using silicone nanofilaments and wood acetylation provided good wetting resistance even after prolonged UV exposure. Scanning electron microscopy images revealed that the silicone nanofilaments were still present on the wood samples after UV irradiation. Additionally, the surface-modified wood samples exhibited significant color change and degradation of lignin after UV exposure.

Summary: This study presents a facile, non-fluorinated and robust chemical approach to tailor the water wettability of covalent organic frameworks (COFs). By grafting a silane precursor and selected alkyl acrylates onto the prepared COF, different water wettability, including superhydrophobicity, can be achieved. The superhydrophobic COF exhibits significantly enhanced oil-absorption capacity and can be used for oil-in-water emulsion separation.

Summary: The inert nature of most commercial polymers and nanomaterials limits their applications in various industrial fields, which can be solved by surface modifications to improve physicochemical and biological properties. Polymer functionalization allows for specific moieties and conjugate molecules to be grafted onto surfaces, enhancing material performances. Further research is needed on cell-polymer interactions, nanosafety, and industrial scale manufacturing to fully understand the advantages and challenges of polymer functionalization.
