ordered mesoporous carbon cmk-3 (omc) have been synthesized using mesoporous sba-15 silica as template and modified with cobalt carbonate. morphologies and surface texturing of materials werecharacterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and n2 adsorption-desorptionisotherms. the cobalt modified ordered mesoporous carbon were found to have a surface area of 490.06m...

The creation of superhydrophobic surfaces (SHS) has received exceptional thought from the entire research community due to its notable application in varied fields such as anti-icing, self-cleaning, drag reduction, anti-bacterial, and oil-water separation. super­hy­drophobic (SH) conditions for a surface can be attained through consolidation low energy with appropriate micro/nano-surface roughn...

The modification of the wetting properties marble surfaces upon multi-scale texturing induced by ultrafast laser processing (340 fs pulse duration, 1030 nm wavelength) has been investigated with aim evaluating its potential for surface protection. contact angle (CA) a water drop placed on was used to assess wettability processed areas. Although are initially hydrophilic treatment, after few day...
