Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of North Carolina have demonstrated a new design for an instrument, an "instrumented nanoscale indenter", that makes sensitive measurements of the mechanical properties of thin films - ranging from auto-body coatings to microelectronic devices — and biomaterials.
DEStech Publications Inc., Lancaster, PA, has published a 343-page technical book by Steven Abbott and Nigel Holmes that explains the science, chemistry and fabrication of nanocoatings and the critical connections among them.
Industrial Nanotech Inc., an emerging global leader in sustainable nanotechnology-based energy-saving solutions, has recently received an initial order of 3300 gallons of Nansulate Crystal for a large project.
A team of scientists from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Northwestern University has produced 3-D images and videos of a tiny platinum nanoparticle at atomic resolution that reveal new details of defects in nanomaterials that have not been seen before.
The study reveals that incorporating nanoclay improves humidity resistance, VDA cyclic corrosion over mild steel substrate and acetic acid spray corrosion over aluminum substrate.
These dispersered alumina products consist of dispersion of sub-micron and nano-particle size alumina that are specifically designed for use in coatings formulations where both gloss and clarity are critical.
