Excellent clarity through control of the particle size and balance of flow and leveling through thixotropic behavior can be achieved with these rheology control agents.
Wrapping wound dressings around fingers and toes can be tricky, but for burn victims, guarding them against infection is critical. Scientists are reporting the development of novel, ultrathin coatings called nanosheets that can cling to the body’s most difficult-to-protect contours and keep bacteria at bay.
A new PTFE/NanoDiamond coating with twice the durability and up to 66% less friction than current products has the potential to cost-effectively reduce CO2 output and fuel demand, as well as to improve equipment lifespan in industries such as automotive, aerospace and industrial machinery.
Five Empa laboratories involved in the EU NanoHouse project, along with four other European research institutes and four industrial partners, have been researching the danger of nano-dust from façade paint.
New nanoparticle ink technologyopens up new prospects for coating applications because these inks are not only compatible with so many deposition processes but also fit the many substrates types and the final product design.
