In critical fields such as aerospace, military, and industrial manufacturing, surface protection of components has been a longstanding challenge. Ceramic materials with high melting points, hardness, ...

Protective thin-film and nano coatings are being incorporated into the manufacturing process to improve the reliability of PCBs, integrated circuits (ICs) and macroscale assemblies. Parylene has ...

Materials that simultaneously have contrasting properties—for example, they are soft on the one hand and hard on the other, with a gradual transition between the two properties—could enable completely ...

For parts with lower temperature thresholds, such as composites, an ultraviolet (UV) curable powder coating can be an ideal solution. Source (All Images) | Keyland Polymer From aerospace and ...

Spin coating is a widely used technique for depositing thin, uniform films onto flat substrates. It involves the application of a liquid material onto a rotating substrate, which spreads the material ...

Resilin-based antibacterial nano-coatings can completely block bacteria from attaching to a surface. A collaborative team, led by researchers at RMIT University (Melbourne, Australia), has developed ...

Chinese scientists have discovered a way to combine high-tech light-absorbing nano-technology with more conventional ...
