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.
The SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) unveiled plans for its sixth annual celebration of NANOvember, highlighted by a statewide outreach effort that will share the world of nanoscale education and research – as well as its educational and economic opportunities – with thousands of New Yorkers in locations across the state.
NANOBYK®-3630 contains boehmite nanoparticles for solventborne and high-solid architectural coatings. It provides excellent scratch resistance, high gloss and transparency.
Malvern Instruments Ltd., Malvern, UK, has acquired nanoparticle characterization company NanoSight Ltd., Amesbury, UK. The acquisition was completed on September 27, 2013.
The unsurpassed brilliance, pronounced flop effect, gloss and opacity of vacuum metalized aluminum pigments allows coatings formulators to produce dynamic chrome effects.
Independent corrosion tests have shown this is a successful conductive polymer-based anti-corrosion coating technology and the first non-chromate coating that has out-performed hexavalent chromate coatings.
