While the former is based on chemical modification of surfaces, the latter relies on topographical/physical modification.
The water-repellent surface based on chemical N modified Ti O amorphous film with water contact angle of 118° was prepared by RF magnetron sputtering in the mixture of N2 and O2 from a metal Ti disk.
Coffinier et al. presented a simple method for producing superhydrophobic surfaces based on chemical modification of silicon oxide nanowires [53].
Different adhesion mechanisms, based on chemical or physical bonds with the aggregate surface, have been proposed for each modifier.
Since the fluorescence intensity of Qdots is highly stable and sensitive, fluorescence transduction based on chemical or physical interaction occurs on the surface either through direct photoluminescent activation or through quenching [ 9, 10].
The derived assessments closely converge to assessments based on chemical analyses, performed on the same stone surfaces.
This survey allows a hydrochemical characterization and an assessment of the suitability of this surface water for irrigation based on chemical analysis.
Structural applicability domain restricts chemical compounds based on chemical structure.
The predictor based on chemical interactions outperformed the predictor based on chemical similarities.
In the past, several attempts were made to quantify microbial activity based on chemical reactions: Sterflinger et al. (1994) developed a non destructive method, the "respiration bell-jar" to trap CO2, in order to monitor respiration on stone surfaces.
