Robust Superhydrophilic/Underwater Superoleophobic Surface with Anti-Abrasion and Anti-Corrosion Performances Based on Laser Ablation

Abrasion Resistant Anti-Reflective Sol-Gel Coatings

Many optics in both the OMEGA and OMEGA EP lasers are coated with anti-reflective (AR) silane sol-gel to maximize their transmittance. Although these coatings are highly resistant to both airborne contaminants and laser damage, they are susceptible to mechanical damage by abrasion, and thus require extra care during the handling, installation and alignment of sol-gel optics. Previous “hardened”...

Influence of Laser Ablation on Stainless Steel Corrosion Behaviour

Laser ablation is the method for material removing from a surface using pulsed lasers. It is used for surface structuring, laser drilling or laser marking. A change of the corrosion behavior of a base material caused by thermal effects during laser processing is an important problem of this technology. Possibilities of surface modification of stainless steel using laser ablation are presented i...

Calixarbutin: A Novel Calixarene-based Potential Water-soluble Anti-tyrosinase Agent with High Anti-melanoma Activity

Since melanocytes are the origin of melanoma and some skin disorders such as melasma, they are important cells from the perspective of medicinal chemistry. Therefore, a medication that can simultaneously overcome these diseases will be a successful potential therapeutic agent. Arbutin with phenolic structure is a powerful natural anti-tyrosinase agent. Hence, the phenolic structure of this drug...
