Summary: A simple and inexpensive method for forming a low‐density polyethylene (LDPE) superhydrophobic surface by controlling the crystallization behavior of LDPE by adjusting the crystallization time and nucleation rate has been proposed. The resulting porous surface, with hierarchical micro‐ and nanostructures on the beautiful floral designs, has a water contact angle of 173.0° ± 2.5°.A highly porous surface created by adding nonsolvent (cyclohexanone) followed by evaporation of the LDPE in a vacuum at 25 °C (left, inset shows corresponding water contact angle).

The ability to predict symptom clusters in ovarian cancer patients receiving chemotherapy may help to make optimized clinical decision in advance to alleviate patients' symptoms and improve their life quality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
