The influence of tailored electrostatic interactions on the physical properties and morphology of high performance polymeric membranes remains as a critical concern for emerging technologies. We demonstrated earlier the synthesis of acrylic-based sulfobetaine-containing copolymers in non-fluorinated solvents, and the electrospinning of such copolymers below the expected entanglement concentrati...

The goal of the research was to create enhanced practical methods to estimate and simulate hyperspectral images by using recorded data of low spectral resolution images. These data can be used to test algorithms designed for many hyperspectral image analysis tasks, such as target detection, classification and tracking. An advantage is that these images are unclassified and can be used in a univ...
