New Materials, Technology and Designs Awarded at RadTech 2018
CHEVY CHASE, MD — With a focus on high-tech manufacturing, efficiency, energy savings and sustainability, the RadTech 2018 Conference and Exhibition recognized several contributions to the development of emerging and novel ultraviolet and electron beam technologies.
MicroTau Pty Ltd, New South Wales, Australia, was presented with one of the event’s Emerging Technology Awards for its low-cost, printed “shark-skin” surface. The surface reduces drag and improves efficiency for airplanes, cars, other vehicles and wind turbines. It also provides biocide-free antifouling materials for marine vessels, antibacterial surfaces in hospitals and aircraft tray tables, and self-cleaning paints and microfluidic devices.
