Thermoplastic polymer nanocomposites based on polydopamine-coated clay : preparation, structures and properties by Phua, Si Lei

“…The results showed drastic improvement in UV resistance and thermal stability of PP/D-clay owing to the effective radical scavenging ability of melanin-like PDA layer on clays. Meanwhile, the excellent UV resistance of PP/D-clay nanocomposites can be attributed to the masking effect imposed by PDA coating. …”

Synthesizing photorealistic images with deep generative learning by Zheng, Chuanxia

“…Part 3 combines recognitive learning and the latest generative modeling into a holistic scene decomposition and completion framework, where a network is trained to decompose a scene into individual objects, infer their underlying occlusion relationships, and moreover imagine what the originally occluded objects may look like, while using only a single image as input. In Chapter 6, the aim is to derive a higher-level structural decomposition of a scene, automatically recognizing objects and generating intact shapes as well as photorealistic appearances for occluded regions, without requiring manual masking as in Part 2. …”
