recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Plant Growth Regulation"

DOI: 10.1007/s00344-020-10099-z

Abstract: As the outermost hydrophobic layer, cuticular waxes serve as an essential waterproof barrier to protect plants from desiccation, but the mechanism of wax accumulation still remains unclear. We analyzed the response of cuticular wax composition… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2018.02.002

Abstract: Abstract Insects possess a variety of defenses against natural enemies including physical attack, chemical repellency, physiological suppression, and visual camouflage. The hypothesis that wax production by the whitefly Aleurodicus dugesii Cockerell (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) functions as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2019.115363

Abstract: Environmental benign cellulosic textiles are hampered by their tendency to absorb water, which restricts their use in functional clothing. Herein we describe a method to functionalize textile surfaces using thin, open coatings based on natural… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2017 at "Corrosion Science"

DOI: 10.1016/j.corsci.2017.03.022

Abstract: Abstract A wax coating was prepared using waste materials (isolated microcrystalline waxes) to protect petroleum pipelines against corrosion in 0.6 M NaCl solution. The corrosion protection performance of isolated microcrystalline wax coating was detected by electrochemical… read more here.
