To investigate the mechanism of inhibition of silver ions on microorganisms, two strains of
bacteria, namely Gram‐negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram‐positive Staphylococcus …

A superhydrophobic complex coating for cotton fabrics based on silica nanoparticles and
perfluorooctylated quaternary ammonium silane coupling agent (PFSC) was reported in this …

Conspectus The trifluoromethyl group is widely prevalent in many pharmaceuticals and
agrochemicals because its incorporation into drug candidates could enhance chemical and …

It is highly desirable, although very challenging, to develop self‐healable materials exhibiting
both high efficiency in self‐healing and excellent mechanical properties at ambient …

The antimicrobial ceramics (AC) based on hydroxyapatite (HA) were made in a wet chemical
process with additions of AgNO3, Cu(NO3)2 · 3H2O and Zn(NO3)2 · 6H2O. The ACs were …

It is well accepted that the microwave absorption performance (MAP) of carbon nanotubes (CNTs)
can be enhanced via coating magnetic nanoparticles on their surfaces. However, it is …

A copper-mediated oxidative cross-coupling of aryl- and alkenylboronic acids with (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane
(Me 3 SiCF 3 ) under mild conditions has been developed. This …

This article describes the copper-catalyzed oxidative trifluoromethylation of heteroarenes
and highly electron-deficient arenes with CF 3 SiMe 3 through direct C–H activation. In the …

Fibrotic skin disease represents a major global healthcare burden, characterized by fibroblast
hyperproliferation and excessive accumulation of extracellular matrix. Fibroblasts are …

The development of synthetic methods for the introduction of the fluorine atom and fluoroalklyl
groups into organic molecules has gained increased attention. Synthetic organic chemists …
