Abstract: A novel microencapsulated intumescent flame retardant (TMAPP) was prepared, in which ammonium polyphosphate (APP) is the core and functions as an acid source, melamine–urea formaldehyde (MUF) resin is in the intermediate layer and functions as… read more here.

Abstract: Gluing materials together underwater is a mighty challenge faced — and overcome — by mussels. It requires good adhesion and cohesion. Molecular-level mechanical measurements have now shown that cation–π interactions provide surprisingly strong cohesive abilities. read more here.
