Laser-enabled organic coating for sustainable PFAS-free metal surfaces

This study presents a laser-enabled organic coating (LASEO) approach that integrates laser texturing with gel-like carbon dot (G-CD) treatment to develop a PFAS-free alternative for metal surfaces. In this method, nanosecond laser-induced micro/nanostructures enhance coating adhesion, while the G-CD coating provides durable superhydrophilicity and even superwicking behavior.

Planarity Is Not Plain: Closed- vs Open-Shell Reactivity of a Structurally Constrained, Doubly Reduced Arylborane toward Fluorobenzenes

Through experimental and quantum-chemical studies, researchers unveiled the underlying reaction mechanisms and show that Li2[1] acts either as a B-centered nucleophile in an SNAr-type conversion (low benzene fluorination) or as a reducing agent in a single-electron transfer/H atom abstraction sequence (high benzene fluorination).

Facile fabrication of eco-friendly flame retardant and superhydrophobic coatings on cotton fabrics

To address the challenge of the durability of eco-friendly flame retardants coated on fabric surfaces, a coating (SFR) on cotton fabrics combining superhydrophobic, environmentally-benign, durable flame-retardant properties was prepared through sequential dip-coating of ammonium phytate (AP) and N-dodecyltrimethoxysilane-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (D-MSNs), assisted by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) adhesive.
