A perfect stretchable and flexible metamaterial absorber has been proposed for the terahertz region. The structure exhibits single-band absorption in TE polarization and double-band absorption in TM polarization, with absorption values exceeding 99%. The absorption spectrum has been analyzed for various polarization angles. The absorption mechanism...

Indwelling medical devices, such as urinary catheters, often experience bacterial colonization, forming biofilms that resist antibiotics and the host’s immune defenses through quorum sensing (QS), a chemical communication system. This study explores the development of antimicrobial coatings by immobilizing acylase, a quorum-quenching enzyme, on san...

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a polymer material characterized by its flexibility, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, excellent stability, and high transparency. It is also easy to process and allows for control over its physical properties. However, its inherent hydrophobicity limits its application in certain fields. To address this limitation, res...

The development of superhydrophobic, waterproof, and breathable membranes, as well as icephobic surfaces, has attracted growing interest. Fluorinated polymers like PTFE or PVDF are highly effective, and previous research by the authors has shown that combining these polymers with electrospinning-induced roughness enhances their hydro- and ice-phobi...
